Things you did when you were a newbie

Sun Sep 12, 2004 11:23 am

What are some of the silly things you did when you were newbie? I remember the stupidest thing I did was pricing my shop items accordin to the estimated price (seen in the window which pops up when you click on the item). And I was wondering why my items never sold... :oops:

I did that too... :)


When I was a newbie, I thought Dr. Sloth was an actual player, that had done
something to become so famous... And I send the account neomails about it. Haha...

And I believed most rumors people spreaded. Heh... :)

I used a extravaganza scratch card that I got from the snowager 0:)
I didn't know it was worth 100k.

I'v done other stupid things, but not because I was a newbie...

I did that too. :P I also posted those things in the trading post about "Post this message 5 times then go to the Faerie Bookshop and you'll find a paintbrush" thing. I stopped once I got a warning from TNT. :oops:

A looong time ago when i was a newbie, me and my friends all worked together and bought books and shared them. I read like every book. Faeries were worth 400-700 nps so we made fake accounts and had so many faeries and we didn't even get frozen! Good times

I once got a Robot Petpet Paint Brush from a random event and never did a thing with it. It just sat in my inventory. Forever. And. Ever.

I also believed the Cybunny revamp joke. :oops:

- Sold an Earth Faerie for 100 NP because I wanted someone to buy it
- Ended up selling the Earth Faerie for 1 NP because I didn't notice I missed 2 0's
- Posted lyrics from a rap song on the NeoBoards -- not a good idea
- Joined a homestead forum with my username and password identical to mine on Neopets, and got hacked (by sport_ll, I might add)

Oi...I remember on my first account,I found a White PB on the floor, and I put it in auctions for 10,000 NP...But I ended up getting 100,000 NP....ahhh,good times... 8)

Hmmm... I remember selling things in my shop for my own made-up price (like, for example, the Tiki Tack Keyring I was selling for 99 NP because it said that you could also make it an earring). LOL! I also sold bottles of sand at their est. price. :oops:

lol i went to buy underpriced items in shops and then when i did they'd ask me to log in, and i did it on two different accounts losing over 100k on each....so sad but that was over 2 years ago :cry:

I put a Baby Grarrl Plushie in auction for 100k. I actually wrote 100k in the bidding price. I wasn't a newbie but I was so used to typing 100k, 10k etc... on PPT, I accidentally used it for the auction. Stupid mistake. It sold for around 29k.

Sold Codestones and Magical Meerca Plushies for 300 NP... :roll:

Ahhh, that was a long time ago... but I remember one time I wanted a Hularoo very badly but couldn't afford one (they were 1k at the time), but I found a few codestones and sold them for about 100np each to help my savings. :P (although back then there was no battledome so codestones were only about 500np or so anyway)
