At that point tough I had to stop and rethink fully new girls up right away like that because those upgrades had wiped a large portion of the stockpile. (Down to about 90 rare lingerie.) Today I just got Rumiko, Justine, and Teacher Deitra. So far I've only pushed them each to 1 star and they ate through all the new affection items I'd started stockpiling after upgrading Solveig and Stephanie, plus a little bit more taken out of the old stockpile (down to about 75 rare lingerie now). Looking it over, they could wipe out the remainder of that old stockpile if I push them all to 2 star. But I think 1 star will just have to be the limit so I can stretch out the rest of that old stockpile to get the next few new girls at least that far as well. Or just let all new girls after this sit at 0 stars and hope/wait for a new update that rebalances affection again.
I feel you. I was selling those items under the last system. I had 13 each of the rare and 5 of the common. That was gone before I finished raising Bunny and Juliette to level five. I've since gained Miss Spook and Cunegonde and its a stretch trying to budget to raise their affection. I just finished Miss Spook today. That's not even getting into upgrade costs. I'm not going to do the math, but I know at 1567 every 74 minutes, it will take a long time to even break even on that deal.
