Shorden winced, rubbing his nose where the door had slammed into it. Today was not going well. It seemed everyone in Neopia wanted a cute, fluffy Petpet, like an Angelpuss or Doglefox; no one seemed interested in owning a Rock.

Ooo, I like the fire quiggle.
But then again, I like all fire pets.

Eh pretty boring colors for Quiggle day. Then again, I guess a Darigan Quiggle or something like that would be out of the question. O__O

Probably only a plushie collector would notice, but there are now two baby quiggle plushies out there. Do a search and two of them show up--looking exactly alike and with the same rarity. Only the first one was released ages ago.
Great! You would think before TNT released a new item that they would do a search to see if one hadn't already been released with the same name. I mean, how hard is it to check Neoitems, for gosh darned sake?
Same thing happened recently with the kyruggi plushie (one sells for 400, one sells for 100K plus) and with chocolate cherry cheesecake (one is unbuyable and the other one was a cork gun game giveaway that went for about 100 nps until TNT finally had the sense to change the name to something else).
Just the fuel to ignite a scam-artist who "accidentally" misprices the cheaper version. And someone buys it thinking they got a real deal. When actually they got burned.

i think that would be something only a plushie collector, or baby or quiggle collector would notice.. and thats not a good thing, i hope they notice it soon, i'm going to send in a bug report, but since its a monday, hopefully someone will change it soon.. i guess that with the war, everyones brains are kinda fried, they generally are a little slacker after and during a war with this kinda stuff.
so how can you tell the items apart then? do they have like an item code or something? *is clueless*

Actually they do in the database (for example when you get a Ice Caves scratchcard, the page displays the item number like 8903 for a Race to Riches) This also how items are sorted out in a shop, the more recent number is at the bottom). However, it doesn't work when you do a text search (such as the sidebar search or the shop wizard)
