Ok, this may be somewhat true with elo locks. 100% wrong in the case of necro ones though. As for hoarding locks - much more locks were farmed/hoarded for Halloween than for Winter, due to a lot of reasons - less time go prepare for Winter, double odds weekend right before Winter, 33% sale on locks etc. Yet, necro locks have maintained a higher price almost the entire time since Halloween started. Ursume locks were under 40k like 3-4 days into event.
