Gah!!! I fail as a Neopets player!
I'm still in the market for an... expensive item, and I saw someone on the TP offering one for
just over a million NP, plus some furniture. SCORE!
So I neomailed the trader and asked what kind of furniture she wanted, and if she'd be willing to take a Baby PB, plus some furniture (I wasn't planning on spending more than 100k or so), plus 400k in NP. It would clean me out, but for such a great discount, it would be worth it.
The catch was, I wasn't sure she was actually asking for a discount. Her account was only a week old.
So, when she Neomails me back telling me she'll probably take whatever I offer,
even though someone offered a decent, appropriate price for the item, I become guilt-ridden and neomail her back, saying, "Look, you'd be better off taking person X's bid."
*beats her head into the monitor* I just. Couldn't.
Do it. Nevermind that it'll take me another month to earn up the NP to buy one at the price it's usually going for now; I just didn't think I could stand the idea that I'd (potentially) "scammed" a new player.
Then she neomailed be back saying I should place my bid anyway. So I have, and now I'm wondering what's going on....
