The Neopian Second-Hand Shoppe

[Lee]

I have gotten:

nothing.

I restock but I have had no luck with this. Arrrgggh. I guess I'll just sit there for another half hour.

I've only managed to snatch a potato sack so far. There's usually nothing in there by the time I get there, even after refreshing several times. Although it doesn't help that I'm not very patient...
I hope to snag me a background or two. I only have the Shenkuu Yooyuball background right now.

I think there might be a limit on the items donated by TNT's bot accounts. Once I reached 10 items I couldn't grab anything but sacks and I tried for hours.

Today (a new Neo day) I have grabbed;
* a Flower Purse and a
* Usukicon Y9 Attendee Badge within a minute of each other.

* Ultra Fashionable Potato Sack
* Woolen Cap
* Ice Caves Background
* Gormball Field Background

Editing to add:

*Game Room Background
* Ultra Fashionable Potato Sack
* Ultra Fashionable Potato Sack

Weird thing is, I missed the purse, but it turned up in my inventory and other times I have grabbed something but didn't get it. So I am thinking that if 2 people try for the same item at the exact same time, 1 person gets it and the other misses out (something similar happens with feeding a Kad).

Good luck with today's shopping!!!

Bah, just missed Gormball Field Background, Woolen Scarf, Novelty Glasses, Usukicon Y9 Attendee Badge, and Lucky Red Pandaphant Doll.

Hmph. It said I got a background, but it's not in my inventory.


Edit: Happened again! Another background! So far I've gotten two potato sacks and a baby wocky puppet. They've all shown up in my inventory, but not the two backgrounds!

Yeah got the same thing with a cheese background :/

I got... Two potato sacks,which isn't really anything to cheer about. I missed a pair of censor bar glasses, too.

I don't believe backgrounds go to your inventory - I believe they may go directly to your pet customization page.

I've had one background go into my inventory, but have had two other backgrounds and a couple other items just not show up, even though I got the "Yay, you got it" message. They're not in my closet either.

On another note, how come for the past few weeks I could barely give away an Ultra Fashionable Potato Sack, but now that we're getting them free by the boatload from the second-hand shop, the price has increased and they're selling out of my shop faster than I can restock?!

The backgrounds I've gotten have shown up in my inventory. But I have had one not show up at all.

Sorry, but they do go into your inventory. They are just like any other item.

As I mentioned in an above post, I believe that if 2 people grab the item, only one gets it, but you get the sceen saying you have got it. It also works the other way - I got the 'slipped through fingers' message but when I checked my inventory the item was there.


I think you also get a ban if you refresh too much. I couldn't grab anything for hours (kept going back to check) then after a couple of hours, I managed another 3 grabs. (going to update list).

So far I've only managed to grab the Potato Sack, though I've seen a couple interesting items slip under my nose. Is there a time of the day when more items are up for grabs?

[Daze]

I think the frequency of donated items from TNT has dropped. On the first day, it was crazy - heaps of items, sometimes 2 or 3 lots a minute. Second day was almost as good, but today I have only picked up 3 things.

It seemed to me the best times was at the start of a new day, but the items just aren't showing up as they first did.

Here is what I have gotten so far *sigh*

5 - Ultra Fashionable Potato Sack

I have noticed this too. I got most of my stuff on the first day when I would assume more people would be there.
