What's with the weird discount for Premium Stash Tab Bundle?

Let me start by saying this is the first time I got into an ARPG. I bought access to the early access and put in 100 hours in the past 3 to 4 weeks, which is a lot for me. I'm currently playing Act 3 on my second character and loving it.

In the past stash tabs sale I bought Currency, Gems, Quad, Essence, Delirium tabs, plus a Premium tab. I was, however, struggling for space and needed some more tabs (items are not selling as fast as I wanted them to). I decided that I've been enjoying the game a lot and plan to continue playing, so I was waiting for another stash sale to upgrade my bundle.

The stash tabs sale I've been waiting for has arrived, but when I went to check the pricing, to my surprise a Premium Stash Tab Bundle costs 165 points. I also wanted to buy a Unique tab, because my uniques are taking quite some space.

To my surprise, these 2 items sum up to 275 points. I wanted to add another Premium tab, but I'm 5 points short because the Premium Stash Tab Bundle is 18%-off (165 points), instead of 20%-off (160 points). All other Premium tabs cost 30+ points, so I don't understand why GGG has implemented a discount that doesn't align with other items.

Was this done on purpose? Do I need to spend another $5 just for 5 points? Is GGG that scummy when it comes to pricing, or was it simply not well-thought-out?

I continue to love the game, I just found that weird and would like to know what is the track record with GGG.

Pricing images for reference:

everything in the MTX shop is priced "on Purpose"


don't like it dont buy it

It might seem bad when this is new to you, but once you have all the stash tabs you want you can play this game 100% free for the next 10+ years. Small price to pay for an amazing game that will release all future content for free.

I understand, and I'm not worried about spending money in the game. My only concern with the pricing is that all others are priced in 10s and this is the only one priced in 5s. That sounds a bit scummy because you will always be 5 points short from getting something else, but I don't know what is the track record for GGG. Basically, that was what I was asking about.
