    okay. so i found a map piece as a random event.
    and it just so happened to be piece number nine which is quite rare.
    i couldn't find a price on the shop wiz so i put it in trades with a fairly good idea of how much it would be worth.
    i expected to get around 100K for it; i mean, it's only one piece and it's not found on the shop wiz.
    what i got was unexpected.

    a person made an offer of 300K.

    i really didn't think that piece was worth {that} much.
    was i wrong?


    {note; screenies were removed after some suggestion to do such...}

    That piece is super-inflated, I had to pay 350k for it >.<

    Was a surprise to me too, last time I bought lab maps they were 50k each :(

    ah. i had no idea it was {that} inflated.
    i'm pretty happy, though. it kind of makes up for me missing that chia pop yesterday while restocking. ¬¬

    You probably want to take those screenshots out - I wouldn't be too comfortable posting my pet/username on this site.

    Congrats on getting the lab map piece. Also seconding taking out the screenshots - somebody could easily find out your account through your pet's name.

    Do not feel guilty!! Luck is luck. You managed to stumble across the most profitable lab map piece, and therefore if you want to you should collect on it! It's up there these days that one piece, so definitely make as much as you can/want from it! :)

    I'd like to see you get piece 9 for 300k!

    I managed to get one yesterday for 335k after looking for ages. Then, about 10 minutes later, I actually found the piece on the floor. Weird, yes? I thought so anyway. Sold it for 300k pure and a full set of codestones. Could have saved me a lot of time if I'd have found it earlier on though..

    It was a month ago at least... I don't really check map piece prices after getting the lab.

    Heh, remember it's just a game. People will pay an inflated amount depending on how the markets are. Don't feel bad, it's their NP, it's theirs to throw around. Well, I guess now it's yours, but you get the picture! :p

    Correction:

    Piece 4 is unbuyable and Piece 8 is.
