I've bought 3 white ones recently...
First one was 250K bought at the bank after requesting a sale in general chat (2 days after they came out), other 2 were 100k (recent purchases bought off vendors).
Everyone got a ticket for a free choice.
Today they are cheap, if UO hangs on a few more years they definatly will go up in price, but seems everyone has one (or a few) today.
Plain vet rewards have dropped like stones in the recent years. I dont even know if asking 75k a year is too much now. 3 years ago vet reward were hitting 150k-200k a year, or a million or two if you chose the com deed box. Getting into the price of vet rewards for me is pointless as I always choose the SS (which makes a vet reward choice worth a miminum, "TOO ME", 2 million) because that MY going price for SS's and thats MY value for them.
I now have 34 soul stones and one account open. I find Soul Stone's the only current thing of value.
