There is no advantage to me by waiting to vendor them. I get the same amount of gil in either case.

I see more advantage in spending them now than holding onto them. The sooner I get the gil, the sooner I can invest that gil into making more gil. That's going to be way more valuable to me than hoarding the pieces to spend 2 years from now at Doman Enclave to only get double the value back (with a max of 20,000 gil at that). That's a pretty poor investment return in this game.

So, you'd rather 49.5k now rather than spread it on two weeks and get double the amount for literally no effort whatsoever?
At a max doman enclave you'd be burning through 40 Allagan Silver Pieces per week. That's just maybe alittle over 2 weeks of burning through that stack, in just two weeks it'd be 80k and if you burn through the entire thing then it's 99k.

What is this return on investment you speak of? The only investment I'm doing is being inconvenienced in my chocobo saddlebag (which is annoying at best, if anything I just want a neat saddlebag)? There's no time investment or effort in this at all.

I mean to each their own. I enjoy the passive/slow income and not having to fight people on the MB, it's why I like doman enclave and subs. It's not an ideal way to make gil but it's a waste not to use that system and the currency meant to be fed into it.
