Mistakes you made as a young Neopian

[matchbow]

yeah, a long time ago i got a hypno helmet. i then sold it for 99999nps since there were ones for 100k but were unbuyable. i was so dumb then

[WebJaap]

Pfff.... Let's think, think again.
I can't really think of something wrong I did, a year or so ago I got a few days frozen because I think I refreshed too fast in shops... The days after that I thought: why is nothing in the neopia shops? Is there a bug? I asked on the boards, I know I may not refresh too fast now, I didn't use something like an auto-refresher though (they're not even availible for somebody with an Apple computer lol).

I remember I lost my old account becuase my password didn't work anymore, lucky me: I didn't had something really worth it. So I signed up, but this time in a higher age class so I could neomail and so (I don't live in the US, so sending a letter with that your parents give you permission and so, I don't know if it's still that). So I was 11 or 12 when I started playing, wow! I'm 15 now. Lol, I'm playing too much. No, I have a couple of months not played, I'm usually totally playing in holidays.

But I'm talking too much, my biggest mistake. I hacked somebody in my first months as player (on my old account -- doesn't excist anymore, don't report me) She was using the same loginname and password, stupid! I'm sorry know, but she wouldn't read it because she never knew who hacked her. I'm sorry, kick me, but I read an article about how many people were using the same password as loginname, so I couldn't try it a couple of times and I already was in an account
I made profit yeah, A trans potion I still have in my SDB. That's it. Never made any mistake, my sister learned me everything I think.

Neodecks. They were so mysteryous. And I kept paying money to upgrade it. Also, signing up for all those stupid sponsers. Grr, I still get spam from some of them.

I seen this thread at least 5 times and I still didn't notice you made it, so I didn't look inside. XD
Thanks for sharing my hypno helmet stupidness, MooBum.

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. <_>

Hey... I did that last week!

[Nico]

Thanks for these tips.. I'm just starting out, scared to make mistakes..

[Shoyru]

I lost me 2 year account and my hard-earned 1000+ stat pet because I stupidly ignored the warning I got in regards to account sharing. :/

Newbie mistakes:

Fell for a fake log-in scam... -.-;

Recent mistakes:

Missed a VALUABLE restock because I had doubts if it was worth its expensive price tag so I decided to double-check before I bought. By the time I returned... it was too late. -.-

When I first joined neopets I made a accounht (I forget the name, now), made a...red wocky, I think. I then found a buzz transmorphifying potion...I didn't know what it did so I used it on my pet..I didn't know about the pound so I just made a new account..xD....I now want that mutant buzz..><

[CrewWolf]

I can't remember much of what I did in the early days, which probably means I didn't really do anything noteworthy. I think the stupidest thing I've done though is trade my krawk transmog potion (which I had recieved from a random event) for a fire paint brush. It was an okay deal then because fire paint brushes were the only cool paint brush at the time. Now whenever I see a krawk I have a fit and foam at the mouth at the knowledge I could've had one too

[Freestyle Roo]

Too many to name! I remmeber entering BD battles wondering why I wasn't dealing any damage (no weapons.) I never got "Improved defend" from the sponsers (back in the day).

I also got scammed when trying to do a two-part trade ( I had 2 lots for a JAde SS, and they guy took one lot and ran off, that was stupid )

Last but not least, paying pure for some Hard to Sells

[exodiathepowerful]

I saved 100k and wanted to buy a Krawk and it said you can't buy it then I cried because I thought people were mean so they wouldn't le people buy their stuff lol.But I was 8 years old then

*buys paintbrush*

*goes into randm shop to buy an item* what the heck I logged out...

Disclaimer: I'm not that stupid now.

[162]

LOL... Those were good times, weren't they?
what the heck, I logged out.

[kamehameha0]

I guess this dosen't count as "young" as I was on Neopets for around two and a half years at the time, but.......I fell for a fake log-in screen. My account was mewtwo003, check it out yourself. There's furniture in the NeoHome worth thousands, cards worth thousands, and my pets, and trophies.....Sometimes I wish the scammer would have just deleted the account once he had stolen everything, and put me out of my misery. I've been trying to get it back for two years, and only get automated responces.

My only real mistake as a youung neopian is when I got a Cybunny Transmogrification Potion from a RE, I traded it for a Blue Bluna. Not really a loss, but the petpets sooo HTS, that it never got sold
