Jetsam Ace Action Figure is the latest thing to skyrocket in price.

It's only R85. The people are trying to pawn them off as unbuyable.

So, unless you want to be sad ... don't accept them on your stuff.

(if there is someplace else I should be posting these ... let me know.) I just always get offered the same thing on my trades by the same people, so I always know what crap they are trying to artifically inflate the price of.

Personally, I appreciate the heads up.

Back on the old forums, there had been a sticky for scams & such, but I think I actually like it better this way, unstickied -- that way folks can be alerted just by the subject line.

I just noticed the 40k one at the bottom myself. *grin*

This inflation looks like it got quashed quickly enough. Great job some people out there.

40k isn't worth it. I restock those frequently and judging by their commonness they only deserve to be sold at 10 - 20k at most.

I think it is, but you can never be sure who started it...

but 40k is enough to stop people from thinking it is worth millions.

That's the good part.

Although, you do have to admit, it is pretty intresting to see which item goes up.

Also pretty nice if you have that item... :P

But still it is a offense and should be stopped, we dont want the econemy acting like the stock market now do we? ;)

I beg to differ. I appreciate them as a part of Neopia's diverse and treacherous economic landscape. Those inflators (I am not one though) have helped me trade off many things for more than their worth.

It is very easy to counter such tactics if you really dislike them, and the only people who suffer are unwise players who don't research prices properly. Also, artificial inflation seldom lasts long, and while not totally ethical, it still is a legitimate business tactic.

Remind me not to buy a used car from you, or anything, for that matter, Qanda. :)
