I resent that statement as well. I didn't hoard them. I bought 2 as an investment and i sold one off. I was hoping that the other would be retired. It's called taking a chance, sometimes when i buy things they dip in price and i lose nps. And i put in a substantial amount of my hard earned nps into that investment not knowing if i was going to get any profit.

Not all rich people are greedy. Some are just prudent. they don't go out buying everything that they like or the newest stuff that comes out in the market. They spend where they think they should spend and they control what they spend their nps on, thats why they don't spend all their nps in one go.

I see people who just get started and they find that they want this and that and a pb and a neohome and high level pets..etc, so they spend all the nps that they make on stuff, instead of saving some of it. And then they wonder why they can't become rich.

Damn it, I had the money and I was gonna buyit, but then the price rose. I still have the money, but I don't want to buy it. I also bought a petpet to match...
Well I guess I'll change my plans... :roll:

Well I bought 3 for about 190k when they were in the hidden tower. I traded one for a kadoatie and now I'm debating whether to sell or hold onto the others. 700k seems like a big price jump, since they were sitting at 300k or so for so long. I wouldn't be surprised if a group of people is making an effort to drive prices up too high, in which case they'll eventually collapse. Wish I'd bought more though, there were ppt'ers who bought 15 or more from the hidden tower!

I've had one sitting in my SDB for ages. I don't remember how I got it, but now that I know it's worth a bundle...I might consider selling it.

they were in this situation b4. i remembered the price hovered around 300k for a long time...like i mentioned, there's no haste. the reason for the drop is simply becoz there are more sellers than users...much like the faerie queen doll situation. at 800k-900k a pop, i am currently collecting those dolls slowly whenever i can afford it. i would wait for the faerie festival to come when they might come up with new faerie species and new avatar that uses a faerie pb. morphing potions would have become unbuyable if glamour negg didn't come to the rescue.
