As soon as I saw what I had I instantly [exploded with joy] and started farting.

Obvious Spiral HQ anonymous buyer is obvious.
Sort of fishy; Like Porky said, this might aswell just be the anonymous buyer, although it's unlikely, looking at his inventory.. (though then again, he does have a couple accessories sitting there too. Maybe a random alt.)
If this was an actual roll, though... Just a few days after the auctions. It's very suspicious, and I'm gonna stick with the theory that those items were never obtainable before the auctions. (not to say, the auctions only included items never seen before - Things possibly just as rare such as Prismatic/Divine/Volcanic scarves or tails did not show up) If it was an error on Three Rings' part, and they changed the drop rates now, is something we'll likely never know, considering their approach to those things. Now if this guy is a ridiculously lucky person or they did change the drop rates, we'll probably see in a couple days if more of the accessories pop up.
But hey, just look back to the Blackened Crest situation, before it was available for tokens. Both devs and GMs always claimed it was indeed in-game and obtainable whenever asked, but they never commented where, drop rates, whatever else. (Excuse: "We like to let players find out themselves, so we don't ruin the surprise") Not a single Blackened Crest showed up in all that time. There was a single person who claimed to have obtained one, and had what seemed to be legit screenshots, but the person never really showed up to prove it in-game. Not too much later, it was released for tokens.
Quicksilver Set went through the same token thing, although it was obtainable... But several pieces of the Quicksilver Set (and even Darkfang Shield) had dropped over the time, but no Blackened Crests. When Three Rings refuses to actually cooperate and give out drop rates, it's impossible to know if those things were really just too ridiculously rare or never actually obtainable, and we won't even know if they change drop rates.
I've heard stories of people spending a load of CE opening hundreds of lockboxes but never getting a rare item…and all of a sudden this guy gets one…
[off topic] I'm in the back of the picture XD

I will give you sciatica like you would not believe.
He doesnt have to be lying it would just show how ridiculously low the drop rate is, that all of these lockboxes had to be opened for one to show (and it isnt the rarest, twilight probably is...)
Omg its Loose Change all over again OOO style....(sarcasm)
hmmm...
OOO puts one up for auction at the weekend...it was one of the less popular tiems (went for around 1.5mil IIRC). Now (if OP is genuine and not the thus far anonymous buyer) one pops out of a box a few days later...coincidence? I think not...I wouldn't be suprised if some drop rate tweaking went on based on sale data - but at this point I am feeling very pessimistic about the whole thing lol.
Congrats btw, hope you get a good price for it.
