Thought: Why are people so desperate to pawn off their sands right now? You have infinite storage space. Keep 'em for a year or two, I can't see them being available after the plot. Lots of people who have some will quit Neopets, or get them zapped into Sludge, or discarded, or eaten by Skeiths or Grarrls. Not that I see a budding future market for them, but you know how strange some collectors are, trying to get thousands of a specific item, or gallery makers, or plot-item-collectors. At least, I'm going to keep mine for a year or two. It's not like the Advent Calendar stuff, which was heavily Neopet-advertised. And you have to go through several difficult-for-most hoops to start getting sand. In a few days they may be impossible to get, in fact. I mean, it doesn't even look like they're selling for 500 NP a pop, now. Doesn't seem quite worth it compared to waiting until they're most-likely impossible to get. I mean, whatever you could barely end up selling them for now, I imagine they'd at least be going for about that much later anyway, just meaning you'd get money for them a little later.
You have a good point. I just sold my Tiki Tombola Mask for about 30k a few weeks ago and those were a lot easier to get.
hmm...
