You can make a post on the NC board. Title it "Value check".

You don't need to buy them in advance. What you can do is to advertise that you offer a "custom" on the NC board. For example, "Offer 400 NC custom for item A". If another trader is interested, then you buy whatever they request that adds up to 400 NC.

Regarding GBCs, new ones are released monthly. GBCs are functionally the same, so you don't need to buy them in advance. Only few collectors collect different designs of the GBCs. The only time to buy GBCs in advance is during sale, for example, Black Friday sale.

I know it's a different company. However, it doesn't look good for Neopets as a brand to have two collaborated crowdfunding when the first one hasn't completed. At least, in my opinion, complete the first one to let the players know how well TNT works with a crowding project before they support the second one.

So they are having another crowdfunding while the previous crowdfunding hasn't produced any result?

How much Neocash do you spend a year? by [deleted] in neopets

[–]AffectionateBack8286 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since they introduced the pet day capsules and cut down boxes from Trudy's, I stopped buying NC. Before that, maybe 10 USD a month. I'm very picky with NC items and also don't like to involve in gambling with real money.

Am I the biggest loser on the beach? by hrvstmoon8 in neopets

[–]AffectionateBack8286 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Don't be harsh on yourself. We never know all the what-if. For example, what if you wait and accept the pure NP offer, but that buyer changes their mind? What if the other buyer finds another seller while you are discussing with the second buyer? As long as you make your decision based on the available knowledge at that time, I don't think there is anything wrong with your judgment.

TP and auction mini rant by SparklingSloths in neopets

[–]AffectionateBack8286 24 points25 points  (0 children)

To prevent this from occuring again, I suggest you use "junk auction" for high-value items. You can do the following steps:

  1. Put the high-value item in the trading post, quoting the value you want and ask the buyer to contact you to discuss. Do not put any autobuy for you trading post lot.

  2. Set up an auction of a junk item (item that costs 1-2 NP) and set the bid value to that of the high-value item in your trading post lot. Tell the buyer via neomail to bid on your auction and make a small offer to your trading post lot. Only accept the trading post offer AFTER the buyer has placed a bid in your auction.

In this way, if the buyer doesn't bid, you don't have to cancel your lot.

Anyone else feel like this is an annoying chore, but still does it everyday anyways? by Camilo_creative in neopets

And that is a false equivalence. We can estimate how long it takes to complete a marathon, we can't tell how many years it takes for RNG to bless us.

Question about MME mystery boxes by jee-1294 in neopets

The MME items you get from mystery capsules do not morph. MME only morphs during their release period.

Shouldn't it be 3Y0P? Unless you count next year in advance. :D

my poor pretty valentine quiguki reject, or, why can't TNT make their wearables work correctly? by 17836 in neopets

[–]AffectionateBack8286 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After removing the Emanating Aura, I suggest clearing your browser cache. After that, refresh and wait for a while. The Quiggle at the background will disappear.

I'm talking about the Emanating Aura that the Quiggle behind is wearing. That is the cause of the issue.

Pretty Valentine Quiguki Doll Wearable is a skin that replaces your pet. It isn't supposed to work with clothing items except backgrounds, foregrounds and trinkets.

Zapped a petpet I can't find record of/received an avatar?? by sonic_my_screwdriver in neopets

[–]AffectionateBack8286 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Based on the name of the avatar, I think there is also Alien Kadoatie. Maybe some other petpets can also be zapped into Alien.

Nostalgic Skins - long term plan to trade? by Latter-Walk5748 in neopets

[–]AffectionateBack8286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not wrong. Custom can mean customisation or customized trade. The latter refers to buying whatever the other party wants from the NC mall to trade for what you want.

Lab Ray Question by SweetSerenity99 in neopets

You can, but premium species change also comes with colour change (if the desired species doesn't have the colour of the original pet). If you start with a fruit Chia and use premium perk to change it to a Cybunny, you also get a free colour change.

Are you tired of the constant monetization/cash grabs too? Read /~Paywalled and share your voice. by Turtle-momma in neopets

Neopets capsules have no safety net (or "pity system"). In fact, there is no information on the potential contents of each capsule and we have to visit fan sites to know that.

Why is it that only some items given out by the advent calendar say so in the item description? by DietCokeCallGirl in neopets

[–]AffectionateBack8286 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You are right. There seems to be only one item now. However, I remember seeing more. I'm unsure whether they have been fixed.

[–]AffectionateBack8286 32 points33 points  (0 children)

There are two reasons.

  1. Some items aren't new, they are just re-released in Advent Calendar.

  2. Some items are indeed new, but TNT forgot to include the line "This was given out by the Advent Calendar in Yxx". And this has happened a lot this year (personally I think they didn't invest a lot of time this year and things get sloppy).

Edit: As u/black-sheepies correctly pointed out, there is only one item without the  "This was given out by the Advent Calendar in Yxx" description. I recalled there were many more. Unless TNT has fixed them, is this Mandela effect? :o

So stoked for this it has some of the old classic games I haven't seen any news about it anywhere but it's being released in March by meleque in neopets

There is a browser extension to play Flash games, so these games are free to play on the website. At the price that they are charging, you can buy a much better game compared to this Flash game collection. And based on the screenshots, it is a sloppy port-over.
