I don't think they'd sit there...there are lots of people who want the avatar.  There's no "too easy".  
I'm fine with it being challenging, but I maintain that those who overfeed consistently are selfish.  There's no reason to feed 2300 Kads except to prevent others from getting the same avatar and make it "rarer".   

I didn't think it was that big of a hassle.  It was certainly easier to obtain than many of the other avatars.

This is great...to a point.  I have 340 pages worth of stuff in my SDB (most of it junk).  Is there way to check without pasting in the code 340 times?
 
 
You can either check the trading post prices (best bet) or another pricing site:  http://www.[Removed].us/forum/index.php   I looked on this other site and the baby scorchio morphing potion is listed at 800K and the cloud wocky one is 93K....I'm not sure how accurate those are.

Wow, what a wake-up call.  At least you've found the positive in this experience, and offered to share it with others.
Here's wishing you a full and speedy recovery.

I don't think you need 75 for a gold trophy.  My understanding is

Feed 1-9 Kadoaties, you get the bronze trophy, 10-24 for silver, and 25 or above is the gold trophy. At 75 feeds you get the pink avatar.  There is no pink trophy.
More importantly, there is NO advantage to feeding over 75.  People do it just because they can.  Personally I don't plan to do that, as once I get the avatar, I will try to be considerate of others who want it.  The overfeeders just drive up the prices of kad foods and make it more of a refreshing frenzy.
 

Coincidentally, I have 6 of them as well....  other than the gallery, they just sit in my SDB.

This part of your quote made me laugh, as I remember when my daughter was really young and the  Turmaculus  at her petpet; she came to me crying!  (Now, I keep *trying* to get him to eat mine, to get the avatar....)

I found this online, and it matches what I remember about it: 
 "Every third Wednesday of the month there is 3% discount for users with accounts older than 60 months old. 
In 2014 a new random event was introduced to the site. If you are lucky enough to get it, you will receive 10% off your next purchase at the hidden tower. This will not stack with the 3% loyal user discount, and does not appear to expire until you use it.  "
 
I used the 10% one on the Grimoire of Affluence--it was already expensive, and I figured I'd never get it any cheaper, since you can't sell/trade that item.

I think I have this one, but I plan to check him out tomorrow, just in case!
Thanks for letting everyone know.
 

Honestly, a lot of people are hoarding right now...so items normally a few NP are running around 1000.  I suggest a different strategy.
 I recommend NOT hoarding for a couple months, sell while prices are inflated.  Then start hoarding like crazy in about 6 months when no one is thinking about it and prices are back at a couple NP.  1000 NP for a "deserted desert scroll" is ridiculous; a few months ago it was 10 np. When it returns to 10 NP (or even if it only goes to 100 NP), use that 1000 and buy 10-100 of them.

Others can give better advice, but a couple quick points.  You're still dealing with issues from middle school, and you have to be at least 19 or 20 now.  Those people are long out of your life, but you're still letting them affect you.  Sounds like you need to talk to a counselor or someone to process this and get help with  your anxiety and OCD so you can move on.  By the way, EVERYONE feels socially anxious lots of the time, even extroverts.  If it's seriously affecting your life, then get help.  It sounds like you have a lot of love to share...there are others who are lonely too who would enjoy your friendship.
On the other topic,   Psychologists aren't medical Drs. (that's psychiatrists) , but still require advanced degree training.  You are worried about not getting in, but haven't even applied yet.  Sounds like your grades are strong. If you had a bunch of premed classes, I'm sure you have a good shot.  Talk to the career center and find out what the schools really are looking for; I suspect it isn't what you  believe.  Do what you can to improve your chances, volunteer or whatever, but worrying about what hasn't happened yet isn't helpful.  There's no reason to think you WON'T get in. Even better, you can have a plan B (writing).  
If writing is really your passion, talk to a counselor at the college about career paths in that area.  I'm sure they can make suggestions.  Also, if you stick with clin. psych, try joining one of the writing clubs that I'm sure are on your campus.  If not, start one!  Hang flyers and find a place to meet.  You'll meet like-minded individuals and have a great time, plus encourage each other. 
As for politics, well, there are some scary things going on, but the best way to feel better is to get involved and work toward change.  I personally was very unhappy with the results of the current election.  Some may love him...I don't.  But I attended the women's march the next day and found it was encouraging and inspirational. Part of democracy involves working toward your goals.  You won't regret it.
 
 
 
 

I've been using a fairly rare petpet for Grave Danger for years...I haven't ever seen anything happen to it. I think it's pretty safe.
[I did wonder if a higher level petpet would shorten the time, but it didn't make any difference.]

Yeah, obviously if you have been trying for those avies for YEARS, that is the petpet you WANT to use, cuz then it WILL happen.  LOL

My pets have various levels--remember you can also get an avatar if your level is high enough.  This guide shows you the possible prizes.

Remember to take ALL your pets fishing.

It says "Valentine Chia".  Thanks for the reminder! 
 

By the way, for those trying to sell R90 items, be careful of the zero when you stock your shop.  If you try to type 25000, it's easy to accidentally leave the zero in front of your cursor, making it 02500, or 2500.  Make certain it says the price you want before hitting submit, or you're going to be giving someone a bargain you didn't intend!
 
 
Geoterza, I think you are seeking the general store.    http://www.neopets.com/generalstore.phtml

What are the items that aren't qualifying?  Nothing with a rarity of 101 can be used if that's any kind of help. Not negg BD prizes either so it seems.
 
About that price-jacking...I'd say it's not up to TNT to do anything about it, just don't buy, it's totally your choice.
I did a bit of investigating during the last charity corner, and made a very interesting discovery...that the VAST amount of the shops selling "over-priced" items weren't actually people price-hiking to take advantage of the event at all. They were accounts that had been inactive for YEARS, with the items sat there - moldering away - for just as many years, and only coming to light now because of the mass buying that charity corner causes. All the cheaper items getting bought up so these higher priced items in abandoned shops are at the front on the shop wiz for the first time in forever.

First, you should find someone to talk to that you can trust...a parent, teacher, pastor/rabbi, or even better, a professional counselor.  It is clear you are in a lot of pain, and talking can help you through it.  Talking to friends on an anonymous board is ok, but not as valuable as a real person.
 
Next, you need to realize something that you already know down deep.  You obviously love Bailey very much, or at least, you love your ideal of who you want Bailey to be.  But as painful as this will be to read, it's clear he doesn't love you.  He might say it, or kiss you, or hang out, but he doesn't love you, and deep down, you know it, or you wouldn't have written this.. This will make you cry (and that's OK), but you need to realize this and make a break. Permanently.   You're hoping for a relationship with the person you want him to be, but that isn't who he is.  He's not going to change.  It won't get better.  He won't change his mind. 
 
You deserve to be with someone who loves you and cares for you and treats you right.    There IS someone out there for you like that.  Yes, it'll take time, maybe years, and yes, you'll probably always love Bailey a little bit, But there is someone out there looking for you as well, and although you can't see it now, in time this pain will get weaker.  Someone who will REALLY love you, someone who wants to build a life with you.  Don't settle.  
 
I know my letter is harsher than some of the others, but I think you need to hear this.  You'll probably always love him a little bit, and maybe when you see him some day in the future, you'll still feel a twinge in your heart.  That's OK, but he's not coming back, because he never was really there at all.  Make the break, and move forward.  It may be the hardest thing you've ever done, but you can get through it, and the future ahead is more wonderful than you could imagine.  The only way you'll find that future is to move forward.

So I assume that you're satisfied with the gift I sent you?
The way you talked about wanting the Aisha reminded me of my own little Darigan Aisha, Formidinem, so I wanted to give you one of my brushes.
I hope you take good care of Lastravaine~

Congratulations, dragonight2016! *clap* *clap* Now my Harry_the_Toothless has a "twin" called Steve. Steve isn't one of the Steves on the US president-elect's cabinet, is he?  :laughingsmiley: Another Pirate, ahoy matey! You'd be welcome to join Krawk Island Altador Team for the Cup come June. (If we don't be winnin' it, we be stealin' it ;)  ).  :shiftyeyes_anim:

I would be happy to help.  I have access to the lab ray, my account is almost 9 years old, and I am online daily.  I am usually on in the mornings, again in afternoon/evening, and check back at night.  I have 38 trophies and 273 avatars.  I plan on sticking around.  I have over 800 posts on TDN forums as well. 
 
I think for big items, lends, and giveaways, two guild members should confer just to verify the person is legit.  For one, someone might know of the person whereas the other person didn't.  Second, some people are better at reading people than others.  Third, one person may think that everything seems legit except for one little thing that doesn't seem right.  To the second person, another little thing doesn't seem right that the first person didn't realize.  My point is, two people are more likely to catch "scammy" things than one person.  That's just my opinion.  But I would love to be an administrator/moderator in the guild.

What a lovely idea. I'm not going to apply for a staff position, because I don't know that I'llbe able commit to regular activity but, I do have access to the Secret Lab Ray and would be happy to do some zapping for the guild!

This is a great idea! 
 
I can't join the guild either (account too young, already active in a guild), but I'm hoping I can check the wishlist every so often and give away a dream pet I own or have zapped/donate some NP!
