    As long as it's not draik eggs, I'm good. I don't do the whole speculation thing, and people who do should know there's risk that those items will deflate.

    I've seen a few for 1NP, I was never fast enough though.
    I doubt the PBs will ever recover fully.

    Personally I'm not complaining...eventually the prices will spike again..maybe not tomorrow..but eventually. Till then- reap the benefits..I've bought and sold about 50 PBs today for under 20k -quick selling at 45k. Nice little profit so far :yup:

    Yeah I will do the same, but I think I will put really cheap ones in the SDB.
    Alot of people are waiting on the newbies to price them really low.

    Edit: Oh snap, level 1 xD.

    That's pretty stupid from TNT to give a Paintbrush in the Advent Calendar.

    I don't really see why it's stupid. It's not like the one and only rare item has been made available to public now, is it?

    They were just unlucky. Things like that happen. Life isn't always predictable, either, eh?

    Yeah, but still. They shouldn't give stuff like that. As much as we all enjoy it.

    I appreciate it when they give out expensive items that will quickly deflate and then later inflate - if you take advantage of the opportunity, you can make a small fortune. Obviously you take a risk when you invest, but there's hardly any way to make a decent amount of NP without risking something - stock market, ABing, etc.

    Since I don't play neopets much, I figured this would be a good oppertunity to stock up on a few items that will inflate over time.
    Many people do this, so it won't take as long as you might think for the pb's to reach prices that are acceptable to sell at.
    Only managed to buy 13 until I was wiz banned, so now I'm waiting it out. :p

    edit; Just noticed that you can't get wiz banned, I just couldn't search at that precise moment, haha
