Oh no, they're giving away the Avatar now instead at the end? No wonder why the item has jumped up to 500k. I still support my theory that this is because the resellers are trying to squeeze the last few drops of NP they can from people trying to complete their 8th day and the following days we'll see less and less of this, but still now that we definitely know the Avatar is the bonus prize it may still keep prices up. I thought I was done buying stuff, but I guess I'll continue. Have to think smart about this to not waste a lot of NP...

I really hope somebody asks for a Petpet at some point. Those are the only things I have accumulated in my SDB (besides stuff like event prizes).
In the meantime, if anyone has a spare arrow launcher and/or music box, I would be eternally grateful.

I wish I had some extras. *Sigh* If I had been online at the time, I would have bought a ton.  |

With 2 unbuyables, I seriously doubt I'll do it today.
And I'm pretty sure the avatar is the one given out for completing 8 days. I thought I saw people saying that they were getting it if they'd completed all 8 days so far. So I'm not sure about the "big" and "little" prizes.

Hmm, being I'm probably not going to do today, does anyone need my Launcher?

I went to bed, and I guess the item prices skyrocketed even more?

You know what grinds my gears? When someone works out a trade with you and then accepts another offer from some desperate person who overoffered... -_-

I... just did some speculation.  Have not felt this excited on Neo in a long time. I couldn't help noticing that for some days, there has been a pattern. A world-theme, and a keyword. Today's theme was Lost Desert, and the keyword was "Desert." December 18th's theme was Maraqua, and the keyword was "Maraquan." December 16th's theme was Krawk Island, and the keyword was "pirate." For some other days, such as yesterday, the theme was a bit looser - it was "prehistoric." (If you look at the URL for Tyrannia, it says "prehistoric.") Hence the items all had to do with the idea of old-ness, and two of them came directly from Tyrannia. I'm trying to speculate what the items for the upcoming days might be. What haven't we had yet? Faerieland seems like an obvious one. The keyword would have to be "faerie." Cheap items that fall into this category include Faerie Bori Plushie (from TDMBGPOP), Water Faerie Faerie Blaster (from Maraquan BD), Battle Faerie Dagger (from Central BD), Sloth Faerie Plushie (from wheel of misfortune), Chocolate Faerie Log (from Tombola), etc.... And what about Kreludor?  The word in the URL is "moon." There's Golden Moon Comb (from Lunar Temple), Glow-in-the-Dark Moon, Moon and Stars Background, Korbat Mooncake, etc.... Terror Mountain has got to be another theme, too, since it's Christmas! But what would the keyword be? I'm willing to bet my NPs that it's either "ice," "icy," or "snow." There are so many possibilities: Snow Days (from Terror Mountain BD), Abominable Snowball (again from the BD), any snowflake, etc. Then I realized that if I could only guess a TOY item, specifically a r60-r89 toy item, I would be rich. People have been tossing out every single donatable toy in their SDB, and then buying the higher-rarity (r90-r99) toys. The lower-rarity toys' prices have remained relatively stable, even though there are far fewer of them in circulation now than before the event. So when Pandaphant Puppet and Strange Growling Box were requested on December 20th, and Desert Arrow Launcher and Desert Poogle Music Box were requested today, all of them went UB very quickly. I decided to invest 20k in buying up a bunch of Sticky Snowflake Keyring, Snow Footbag, Snowager Ball, Snow Bruce Music Box, and Ice Blocks for 200nps to 500nps each. ;P If none of them turn out to be part of the event, I could always just donate them all to the Toy Drive.  |

I would love to see a Haunted Woods themed wish list. Stephanie (swordlilly)Yeah, that's what a lot of people are doing/saying. Scouting out items they think may be asked for later. |

Huh, I've finished every request up to this point and I didn't get the avatar.

That's odd, @surfersquid. Maybe send a ticket? Stephanie (swordlilly)- I hope you don't mind if I totally go ahead and buy everything on your lists. You're a genius! And on a happier note... someone from a Neopets facebook group that I follow did a giveaway and I just happen to win, so yays! c: One more quest and I'm good, haha. |

All the resellers have gotten the battle slices stamp, so the price instantly doubled And yeah, that annoys me too Carolyn, when you work out a trade with someone and then they accept someone elses offer without giving you a chance to match or beat it. |
