😄Sooo…I have a diamond offer on my farm. Buy a “Hire Tom for Free” booster for 16 diamonds.
But…but…but…if I click on Tom, I can hire him for 1 day for 15 diamonds. 😄 Plus, and this is nitpicking…if I’m buying the booster for 16 diamonds, I’m certainly not hiring Tom “for free”.
I haven’t bought Tom for a day for ages so I don’t remember if his day is 25 hours or not. Even if it is ‘only’ 24 hours, that extra hour is one I’m probably going to spend asleep anyway and definitely not worth the extra diamond. But I can only imagine how much more revenue that 1 extra diamond per player brings to the balance sheet. It must, otherwise why nickel-and-dime an hour?
It’s not the first time those diamond offers have made zero economic sense to me but maybe I’m missing something. At least they’re good for a wry chuckle. 😏

Lol. I have like 17 Tom boosters available to use but often dump him for something else (mostly due to barn space issues). So, are you saying that you're not going to make the purchase? 😆
Edit- I just checked, and I actually have 26 Tom boosters! 🤣

I don't use Tom all that often. Mainly just to stuck up on new products before the machine is up and running. I haven't paid for him since we started getting vouchers. Somehow I don't think he is much of a cash cow for SC. |

I certainly don’t pay to store them, nor do I buy them with 💎or 💰 |

If you buy the Tom booster for 16 diamonds, then at some point get a booster for free (WoF etc.) that would cost more than 16 diamonds to buy (when being offered), and you swap the 16 diamond Tom booster with the 17+ diamond other booster, you should then come out in front, effectively getting a 17+ diamond booster for 16 diamonds.
That's my logic with boosters in the valley shop if I've nothing left to purchase (and need to use some valley tokens)... I may not want the booster, but it can be swapped for replacement by a more suitable booster if the situation arises.
