	~~Retired describes items that are~~ no longer ~~being regularly~~ sold in [[~~TNT~~]] [[~~shops~~]]. ~~Retired~~ items are ~~traded among~~ [[~~Neopets~~]] ~~users at high prices~~, and ~~can~~ be ~~received from seasonal giveaways like~~ the [[Advent Calendar]]. ~~Items now~~ retired ~~include~~ the ~~Super Happy Icy Fun Snow Shop Card~~, ~~Neopets 6th Birthday Party Hat~~, and ~~Ghosty Trick or Treat Bag~~.		A '''retired''' item is one which is no longer sold in official site-run [[shops]]. It is an [[item type]], shown in a user's inventory as "(retired)" in greyed out text.

			Since they no longer enter circulation, those within circulation often gain value and some can be sold for very high prices.

			==Sources of retired items==

			Most retired items are normal items that are retired from the shop that sells them. Some types of items get retired on a more regular, or at least more common, basis than others.

			===Gadgadsbogen===
			''Main article: [[Gadgadsbogen]]''

			Gadgadsbogen is the annual [[Mystery Island]] festival of fruit, where many tropical fruits stop growing and brand new varieties replace them. The fruits that stop growing are retired.

			As these are retired foods, they are often stored for their use as [[Gourmet Food]] in the [[Gourmet Club]] after Gadgadsbogen.

			===The Hidden Tower===
			''Main article: [[The Hidden Tower]]''

			Items in The Hidden Tower under go common revision, replacing old items with new creations. The shortest time an item has been up for sale would be one day, in the case of the ''[[Eraser of the Dark Faerie]]''.

			New items do not necessarily have the properties of the old, which makes Hidden Tower retired items often very sought after. In part due to the high price of items while being sold, retired Hidden Tower items are some of the most expensive items in the game.

			===Advent Calendar===
			''Main article: [[Advent Calendar]]''

			The Advent Calendar gives prizes out daily in December to all users that visit it. Often, these items are exclusive to the Advent Calendar and very often exclusive to that year. Many of these items are retired as they are not available from any shops.

			===Plot Prizes===

			As most [[plot]]s run only once on the site, rewards for their completion, and items given out during the course of the plot, are often available only for a limited time. Some items are only available to people who accomplished a certain level of achievement in the activities, which can make them all the rarer.
