    Having SSW really helps with sniping from people's shops.
    I sniped a Golden Paint Brush for 1,785np in someone's shop yesterday, and a Triffin for 750np. (Worth 120k and 35k respectively.)


    That said, anyone have any snipes they'd like to share?

    A few years back before they got all fancy, they didn't have gallery's at the time so people would put stuff in there shop for 99,999 and no one could buy them. One guy put a royal paint brush in his shop for 9,999, and i bought it. Im guessing he mistyped. Also I get a Grey and Halloween paint brush like that.

    Oh wow. Congrats!

    Yeah I remember that. I used to have a "doughnut gallery". I went back and raided it a few days ago. :/ Sadly only worth about 150k now.

    Jealousy abounds.

    I wish I could pull one of those. All my old accounts are worthless besides the fact that they're really old. Hah.

    I remember, I sniped a Dubloon Coin, I forget how much it was.
    It was a while though. I got pretty good profit.

    I sniped a pink draik morphing potion out of auctions the other day for a little over a mil. I know you can get them in the magic shop for cheaper but w/e I was proud! :) 2 mil profit is just fine for me. I think thats the luckiest Ill ever get in this game :)

    I love how some people are so stupid to put things in for so little.

    I got a striped PB today for 99k on the shop wizard.
    Pure luck.

    It's when you purchase something on the shop wiz, tp, or auctions that is a great deal lower that the actual price.


    My best snipe was a draik TP for 99k about a month ago. First legit thing I've done in a while.
