Compared to purchasing the Secret Saxton from the store using £ rather than $/€, it is currently cheaper to buy 23 individual Secret Saxtons - £13.57 vs. £14.99 for Pile O' Gifts.

If the £/$ ratio of Secret Saxton prices is taken as a fair starting point, a fair price for Pile O' Gifts would be 20 &times; £0.59 = £11.80.
