I ended up spending almost 2mil on my mp/pb combination. But it's totally worth it. I'm so excited. I hope the color is activated really quickly. Don't be fooled by the 500k lots on the TP -- a lot of them are outdated. Most people who are actively selling right now are asking upwards of 1mil. And I bet the price will only increase after the colors are actually released.

This expensive? o.o Dagnabbit, am I glad I've already painted all my pets (and this one color in question came for 300something thousand NP, yes. Yay for more inevitable neomails from newbiepeople assuming that I'm filthy rich.) Can't imagine having to save up for a brush in today's crazy inflationomy. That's the one downside of TNT releasing awesome-colored pets, they always drive brush prices further up.
*sometimes wonders what Neo would look like if the brushes were more accessible; say, multiple use, or even limited use* I mean, I'm all for having to work hard to get a pet painted, but it looks like having a painted pet (let alone many) is going to be more and more elite. It'll be five millions by the time a newb gets their first million saved up.

I'm thinking it's probably artificial inflation in this case. That's not to say it'll go back to where it was before, but unless there's an avatar attached to it I don't think the prices can be sustained much longer than the initial frenzy.

Oookay o-o Crazy inflation here. Spotted Paint Brush's prices just shot way up. Good lord. I wonder how the poor newbies who join the site are going to afford any sort of color if these prices keep going up...

Reggiepuppy is a spotted Lupe.
Possibly the first in Neopia.
I'm so thrilled.

XD Just yesterday a person was complaining on the HC over how so many paint brushes were ever so cheap. Sketch, Speckled, Glowing, Cloud, Christmas, Biscuit, Split, Starry, Silver, Ghost, Striped, Golden, and Camo all appear to be under 200k and fairly affordable.

Haha, Spotted's at around a mil now. XD WOW, is that a popular color!! But I think there are some decent things in place to help stave off the PB inflation. Keyquest and Tarla giving out PBs are the main ones that come to mind. This Spotted inflation is simply a craze for that new Lupe. But you know, I bet that makes the artist feel really good about his color, you know? X3 I know I'd love to work for Neo, work on a paint color for a pet, and have the price of that PB quadruple in a day! XDDD

I think it's only given out Cloud and Sketchy brushes. But yeah, I can only imagine how the artist might feel right now x3 Especially inflating the Spotted brush, which has always been one of those bland-n-average ones. ...granted, if most Spotted pets weren't as bland, this one Lupe color would probably not have caused this much of a hype. Now I can only hope that Saura will never get Boochi'd, I wouldn't be able to afford re-painting him xD

I don't understand why anyone would complain about paint brushes being cheap. I mean, if a paint brush is expensive, anyone is entitled to complain if they can't afford it. But what harm could it ever cause to them that paint brushes are cheap? XD;
