Mistakes you made as a young Neopian

Tue Aug 03, 2004 4:17 am

i restocked a heart shaped bed as a New Member (week old) because i thought it looked pretty then sold it for only 350k.. lets see i accidently donated a cooty like a week ago using quickstock (i forgot it was there and i was just donating everything).. i was scammed out of a breebly with the bd_ghosterkerchief_sword scam.. i gave my pw to my ex and then we broke up O.o

The biggest mistake I made, was creating a Neohome not realizing the only benefit it would serve was a possibly trophy. At the time I created it, I had very little nps and definitely not enough to create a trophy worthy home. I thought that my pets would actually get to play in their home and all that good stuff, I was soooooooo excited when my 'construction' time was up.

Other than that, my typical mistakes were selling items for far cheaper than they were worth or way more expensive, because I kept going by what Neopet's price was.

I don't even want to think of how many lucky people got cheap treasure map pieces, and how broke I was at the time.

Ahh the life of a newbie

Well, 27000NP is not much... not as much as missing out on a potential 18million

Slightly bitter, I see. :hug:

I don't remember any major mistakes, although I regret not stocking up on neggs and map pieces when they were cheap, and not playing that crazy treasure hunt game every day.

Ah, the old days. I remember the days when the lab maps were like 5k, and now they're 50k. Somebody must've acciadentally added four extra typo zeros and now the price's infated madly. I got my full lab set for 75k back then in the TP....ah...the old days when they were cheap. Now they're like 450k

My biggest mistake was trying to buy everything possible.
My neodeck. Now currently sold, and "size" wasted.
My neohome. Currently demolished. all "insurances" to the max.

jeeze was that a waste of money...

I got a free stamp from one of those sponsor offers (along with some others) so I shoved it into my stamp album for lack of anything better to do (not that I collect them or anything). Turned out to be an unbuyable stamp. ;.;

bad mistake of mine, lose my account to a login scam

and i had the lab map, a cybunny, 500k *alot to someone on dialup* also of precious items that were gifts, my gallery of aisha items, and everything.. all my items in my sdb including several pbs and morphing potions, how dumb of me.

oh yeah, building a neohome, and putting stamps in my album

I've done that too. They should put warnings on them so you know you can't take them out once you put them in lol

I also remember people on the boards saying ''IF you type your password look it makes *******'' So I tried and everyone saw my password. Yeah.

I was such a dumb neopian in the early days.

After first hearing of restocking, I went to the battle shop and bought everything I could, wating 20,000 NP. Checked shop wiz, and realized that most of the stuff I bought was worth less than 500 NP. Ouch. <_>
