My BEST extravagant = roughly 1000cr (Rounding up)
25 logosmas = Lets say 50cr per. (I had a logosmas = 300cr easy so 50 per is a nice low estimate) 25x50 = 1250cr (Rounding down and NOT counting gold/plat)
Throw in the extra gold/plat and the chance your extravagant isn't going to be worth 1k credits as that was good even by extravagant standards. Logosmas the best and safest option right now. Plus you get to spin that RNG wheel 30 times rather than 1 time for the same cost. Odds are you're going to do far better than 50cr per logosmas in the end.

- 7 figurines
- 10ish(I didn't count them before I redeemed them) top hats.(~250cr)
- A globe that was opened to find a dragonskin quiver. (100cr)
- 50 humgii racing tickets which were turned into 298 credits at Sugardown fields.
- Enough talismans(and a couple via trading) for the critical pendant. (200cr)
- Various other talisman pieces: glyph, shovel, sea tear, air brooch, warblefish which were sold. (540)
Without adding the value for the critical pendant because I kept that for myself or the figurines because they cannot be sold, but including the top hat trade ins, quiver trade in, profits from humgii racing and I earned roughly 1070 credits so far. Far greater than what I would have bought in credits for the same price. Easily worth it for me, but I stress that I was lucky(no upgrade credits, etc), was able to turn my racing tickets into something profitable, and bought my stockings on the first day when everyone was buy up pieces in bulk.
When ppl buy logosmas, many expect comparison with credits worth.
Ppl buying extravagant are of different segment. These ppl are highly likely already have most of the random arties included in the drop, hence when they get extravagant they are going to expect completing the higher end talismans. Just different needs or priority. Not saying they aren't going to look at credits worth.

The extravagants are another issue. Lets face it, like Doch said, people buying these have cash. Which means they have the arties already, they want to finish some high end new talisman. They aren't buying them for a l1 crit pendant, they aren't buying them to make gold/credits in game. They are buying them because its suggested in the scrolls they will get the high end hard to find piece they need. Look back at the 5 extravagant I posted, 4 shackle pieces and 3 mud pieces? I mean i could just go buy a full shackle of garash and have some credits left over for the same price as an extravagant. Why would I pay the same price for 1/4th of the shackle?
Even if logosmas are toned down 25% across the board, still going to be worth it to get 25 (+5 gold/plat!!) over 1 extravagant.
RNG You're talking 30 spins of the roulette wheel vs 1 spin.
This isn't even taking into account all the extra little stuff you're going to get that can = more RNG, humgii tickets, a chance at the jackpot stocking that pops up now and then. If you're thrifty and wait until you see the OOC we are approaching a super stocking within 50 msg, then open all your 25 stocking a minute after your odds are exponentially higher than the guy opening his 1 extravagant then. Just so many ways its a better option.

So you'll get ~7000 credits, or more than a 300% bonus compared to buying credits.
Even if an extravagant is only 500 credits, that is still a 150% bonus.
That is a better return than globes by a large margin, and globes were already the best value promotion.

You open a fancy stocking and find a globe of shifting continents and a group of 26 valerian leaves inside!
You have been awarded with The flame for a fire pendant talisman piece!
You open a fancy stocking and find a phial of shimmering permanent ink and a group of 7 steel bars inside!
You have been awarded with The chain for a fire pendant talisman piece!
You open a fancy stocking and find a fire pendant and a group of 6 steel bars inside!
The two halves of the globe split open to reveal 22 credits!
As the two halves fade away, you realise that you've also been gifted with 2610 gold sovereigns, a group of 11 lobelia seeds, a group of 10 pieces of rope, and an oaken vial!
I didn't already have a crit pendant, so that was a really good deal, even though I didn't get any good talisman pieces.
Edit: Although right now I can buy a fire pendant for less than redeem value, so it doesn't actually make a difference whether I had one or not, I'd count the value the same either way.

You have been awarded with The stopper for a phial of some tears of the sea talisman piece!
If you guys know anyone buying for a fair price, send them my way.
Each piece should redeem for 25 credits (200/8), tradein value on a 200 credit artefact would be 133 credits (400/3), so 34.25 credits each, so a reasonable price would be somewhere between those numbers if you only have one or two pieces to sell.

Thinking about making the air elemental, and maybe the fire pendant. Not too bad. If I redeemed everything it would net me 223 credits. So not a huge income like my first 5, but still making $50 turn into 223, instead of it costing me $78 without a bonus is still worth it really. Still pretty happy with this promo, I have 2 gold and a platinum one to open as well

Were these good? I'm a new soul (kinda) and I've never done logosmas before. I have no idea if these were good or not.
For instance, the completed shackle is 600cr, and takes 4 pieces to make, so 600 / 4 * 0.5 = 75cr in redeem for a single shackle piece.
@Makarios: Confirmed! Just extravagant ones.
