When you guys gamble for headgear, do you skip pages until its a coronet, or are you gambling when its a circlet also?
I skip to coronets but i wonder if this is the right way?

Gambled circles can't get 3os and there are some valuable 3os/whatever magic coronet/diadems.

It's a bit more expensive and time consuming but worth it in theory.

If using 10-15% reduce vendor price, Circlets are slightly better, even if they can’t get 3os. That’s due to their lower cost versus the odds of getting a valuable 3os magic one versus the average market profit from those 3os.
If using 25-30% reduce vendor price, then the odds shift and coronets are very slightly better.
But it’s so ridiculously close that caring about this and reseting the shop is by far the worst approach.

Edit:
Just in case someone reads the above and think “But reducing both costs by the same % shouldn’t change the odds?”
I thought the same initially, but then realized that we need to look at the final igg difference between both, as a flat value, which gets smaller and smaller with more RVP, and compare this price differential against the extra odds of finding something valuable from a coronet (also including griff).

So… unless you believe that your time isn’t even worth 1fg/hour, you really shouldn’t hit that reset button once you found a circ/coronet. Just playing the game is a thousand times more profitable than the same time you could have spent hitting that reset button.

I hope that was enough to convince you to not lose time, profit and sanity :)
