Just keep in mind folks that it is extremely hard to keep these things worth it while also fair - most of these things have value that is decided by the player base and not by admin. I'm sure they always have a base they assign things, but it might not always be accurate.
For example - grand magi sold several well over 4k credits (I think 1 at 5 or 6k too). But death cape went for 400-1400 depending on when and who you bought from, and is a much more useful item that provides that value of over 4k worth of artefacts (with the caveat being it's hunting only, of course). If I had guessed the value of those items before they were released, I would have flip flopped them.
So give them a bit of wiggle room on this type of stuff - @Makarios has shown he will make things right when valid complaints are brought up!

The delicate body of this small songbird is carved from a single piece of bleached bone, with most of the smaller feathers indicated by notches and incisions in the surface. Thin, faintly translucent pieces of the osseous material make up the remainder of its plumage, from its sleek tail to the tips of its remarkably flexible wings. Each such feather shifts and adjusts individually by means of thin, sinewy cords and miniature cogs and pulleys attached to the underlying structure; so tiny are these mechanisms, and so well-matched in colour, they are almost indistinguishable from the form of the bird itself. An ashen hue stains all but the bright ivory breast, and a dark mask has been burned around the artificial avian's hard, black eyes. Its talons are needle sharp, and its beak has been carved into the rapacious curve of a predator. A bone shrike looks relatively helpless. He has 100% health remaining. He weighs 9 ounce(s).

Would you guys agree that it's worthwhile dumping $200 or so on globes now instead of throwing that much at credits?
Let's say you buy 15 globes at roughly $71. Let's say you get 15 vouchers. That's 375 credits worth of vouchers you got at roughly the same price as 200 credits. That's roughly a +87% credit sale. That's huge. Sure, they're more restricted than credits, but they're definitely not a waste.
And even if you buy cheap artifacts with them and trade them in for credits you still come up with something like 16ish credits per globe, and you only have to average out to something like less than 13.3 credits per globe for globes to stop being a better deal than credits. That's not impossible; you could roll nothing but lucky sips and pet crates. However, it's not very likely imo. The globes as they stand now seem to be a pretty solid promotion in terms of bang:buck.
