Valetines Sidebar - Mysterious Card

[WIS]

*nod*

I'll try to grab a card or two or three.

When that day comes...

[supRNurs]

Oh, you guys are awesome and I love you!

Question: Does the person I send it to get an avatar?

You should both get the sidebar, but I don't know of any avatar related to the card.

There IS a Valentine Chia avatar you can get by sending the "I Love You" Neogreeting to someone on Valentine's Day.

In case I'm not able to restock one, is there a chance someone would
make me the sendee? I could send a gift in return, but don't have anything
spectacularly valuable. How much of a tip is generally expected in this
sort of case?

[endeavourl]

I just bought one for 600k. I may be a sucker.

Question: Does anyone have screenshots or links to a place that shows what the different themes look like?


Question: Will I get frozen for suggesting that someone share the price of this thing with me? My best neofriends do not come to Neopets often anymore and 300k is a lot easier to swallow for me.

No-one answered the question yet, and I'm wondering the same thing. Is it against the rules for me to say, charge someone 200k for them to be on the recipient end of the vday card?

What day is Valentine's day?

It ain't on my calendar; which is weird; but good that they don't rub my face in love

It's the one day of the year I come out of my RSing hole.

i don't think so. last year, when i got mine, another user and I made an agreement that they would send me the card (so we could both get the sidebar) as long as I paid half. the card was sent and we both were happy campers.

valentines day is on the 14th of this month. (next tuesday)

most people expect the recipient to pay for half of the cost. some ask for more, some less. people here (on PPT) are probably not going to ask for as much as someone would ask for on say...the neoboards. it is also generally nice to give the sender a couple thousand neopoints more as a tip just as a kind of saying thanks. when I got mine last year, the price was about 100k each, so I gave the sender 55,555 neopoints (50k for the card, and ~5k as a tip).

[hallucinating]

My bestfriend and I bought a card a few weeks ago when they were at 500k, and split the cost evenly.

Thanks. Ok, I have a Vday card and want to use it. Does anyone here on PPT want to share the cost? 250k is fine in my case, just send me a pm

Edit: found someone already

I think we should make a list of PPTers that need the sidebar, that way, if anybody restocks a few and is feeling generous, they can send one to them.

Then only problem is people that receive multiple cards if the list isn't updated...

Can they be traded ?? Because if you restock more than one then send one on to get your sidebar, then trade the other to another person without one and then have them send it on, that way two people get the sidebar, rather than just one.

[mercurius]

You might want to wait and shop snipe one. I'm not good at restocking, but I was able to get one in the shops on Valentine's Day mainly because they put them out in packs of 20 or 30 every time the shop restocked.

[Huggles]

They also stock at the Igloo year round with about 10 each restock. I've gotten 3 or 4, but haven't done much restocking lately.

[Yoshi]

I thought waaaaay ahead of time and bought two half a year ago- one to sell, one to use. 23k each. :)

When the day comes, if anyone's willing to shell out 11k or so, I'll be happy to share it.

I'll shell 11k right now.=D

Really?! I've never seen a Valentine's card when I stumbled upon the Igloo during a restock, but maybe I was just too slow.

That's what I'll end up doing, I'm sure: if I grab any next Tuesday, I'll be selling them, no queston. I can wait a year for a sidebar.

I think it's a good idea to find another PPTer who needs the sidebar to send the valentine to. I have one myself and am not sure who to send it too. I'm not much for neofriends, I don't chat on the boards to make friends but I really like the people here.

Here's my Offer
So if anyone wants me to send the card to them, PM me here and tell me your neopets username and I will make a decision on who gets the card. The more I've seen you around here the better your chances are. I am a good restocker so Neopoints are not really an issue, i'm not asking for anything in return.

Edit: I'll try to respond to everyone that PM's me but I only get on PPT a couple times a day, so don't worry if you don't hear from me right away. I will make a decision by Friday so that will give people time to see my post.
