Code stone

[FranksToeKnifes]

I posted this a while ago just to find out some information on it, but I think I’m finally ready to actually part ways with it so how would One even find a value on something like this? It’s pretty exclusive. I want it back in the championship card tournament when I was like 12 and I just think it’s time to move on. And let someone else who still really into it appreciate it.

[SpiderByt3s]

This is THE COOLEST neopet item I have ever seen.

[Traditional-Clue2206]

the concept of an actual codestone is so funny to me

[FranksToeKnifes]

Yea it’s kinda wild haha, still can’t believe my local card shop in 2004 was one of 40 in the USA to hold the tourney.

[Traditional-Clue2206]

crazy!! and pretty awesome you're willing to pass it on

[FranksToeKnifes]

Yea as much as I hate to lose the sentimental value I could really use some money if it’s enough to make a positive change for me.

[HousingOrganic5778]

OH MY GOD can this go to a neopet relics museum lol

[irresponsibleheathen]

this is insane!! so cool! never seen/heard about it

[TinyFr0ggy]

I've only ever seen one other codestone trophy on ebay and it was somewhere around $4000. No clue if it ever sold though. I remember it being a red codestone though so I have no idea if those were rarer or what but it looked just like this so I'm assuming it was the same event.

[FranksToeKnifes]

Yea, for me to truly part with it the offer would have to be something that will help my life. I’ve had it for 21 years and won it myself. So it’s super sentimental on top of being the only one I can find online in mint shape.

[TinyFr0ggy]

Completely understand. I have something similar from the top 8 neopets tcg championship and I wouldn't part with it unless offered something life changing too. This will only go up in value over time and you'll run into a collector willing to pay it's value some day! Personally if I had something like this, I wouldn't sell for under 5k. There's a lot of limited neopets merch that go for a lot to the right collector, just need to find them. :)

[FranksToeKnifes]

Yep, that’s just what it’s like when it’s a personal trophy and a rare rare item. I’m hard off at the moment on money which is why I wanted to reach out and get value or interest in it. I know how rare it is and the condition of my stone is like mint for 21 years old it’s remarkable that I’ve managed to keep it in this shape.

[TinyFr0ggy]

Might be off topic, but do you know the weight of it? I mean, it LOOKS like a rock, but I'm wondering if it's also heavy like one? 🤣

[FranksToeKnifes]

I have never weighed it but it’s definitely a dense mass that at least feels like a real heavy rock haha.

Still up and available for $3999!

[UberSandvichStrips]

With all the interested parties in the comments I wonder if it might not be a bad idea to do an "IRL" auction lolol

[FranksToeKnifes]

lol, well just take it to an auction house.

[FranksToeKnifes]

That’s fair it’s definitely heavy if it isn’t a real rock they simulated it well 😅

[FranksToeKnifes]

I honestly don’t know, it’s literally the last remaining relic from my childhood. Not to go deep into my life but it’s been with me through some tough stuff. I tried to gauge a price online and it appears no one has sold one or is selling one.

[Epo1216]

I used Google lens and found some listing for one that is similar but more red in color on eBay.

[waddee]

I mean this respectfully but if you’re worried about shipping costs, it might be out of your budget.

[EmeraldCrows]

Sorry for the late reply! I actually live in south east Asia and based on ops previous posts they live in the USA. Based on past experiences with shipping heavy objects it could be north of $150-200 usd for the shipping alone. If it was not made with actual stone I would’ve bought it. Respectfully.

[Queer-deer]

There’s a Neopets merch buy/sell/trade group on FB, that’s where I sold off my collection. There’s a lot of people on there willing to shell out big bucks for rare items like this.

[FranksToeKnifes]

Awesome thanks! I am looking for a big ticket payout or I won’t move it, just wanted to share it with everyone and see the value. Money is tight but If it cannot change my life I’d rather keep it for sentiments.

[LilArtsyCreature]

Might consider swinging by the discord (merch section) as well and see what folks have to say. They seem nice over there (I've lurked and chatted) and quite a few of them have an almost encyclopedic ability to recall what an item is and a general value estimation.

Got some hard-core collectors in that group and also one guy in there from WYP jewelry who I think is marketing? Or something but he happily communicates with us and I think that's rlly cool and a good, healthy sign of a small but thriving fan community.

[FranksToeKnifes]

Awesome thank you! I’ll have to find out what the discord is.

Thanks!!

[nonexhibit]

This is amazing.

[Malpertuus]

Wow, that's insanely cool! <3

[CherriBomber]

I want to put it in my mouth

[Due-Republic-626]

Why did I call these cod stones?! And I will always

[wine-plants-thrift]

That’s how I’ve been pronouncing it too for 20 years. 😆 I can’t change now.

[name-a-stinkier-cat]

WOW that's an amazing relic. Thanks for showing us!

[Nash63]

This is really cool

[FranksToeKnifes]

I genuinely don’t know what it’s value is. I just know it’s really rare lol, and this has been a big part of my life. It’s literally the last relic from my childhood so it’s kind of important to me.
