naalaro Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I had the GOOD FORTUNE of making the biggest blunder evahh just yesterday. You see, i was at the auctions, when suddenly, a faerie shoryu morphing potion showed up for 156000 Neopoints. I stared at it. Hey, i told myself, thats like...quite rare isnt it? I continued staring at it for what, 5 seconds?...i mean, i continued in my self discussion, thats like really RARE isnt ??!! I mean its a FAERIE shoryu...wait a minute...thats like in the MILLIONS ISNT IT? I clicked the auction button only to realize the auction had closed. ARRGHHHHHHHH!!! The worst thing was that NOBODY placed a bid. And i had more than enough to place a one!! It was there, sitting ripe for the taking, and i missed the biggest chance in my life to get myself out of the POVERTY cycle, oh gods! BUT ALL I DID WAS SIT THERE LIKE A DEAD SLOTH. Oh my god. I kinda spent the next few minutes in delirious shock. T.T PS: I would had taken a screenie but i was too upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torridity Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Aww. -pats- The good news is that you'll be ready the next time you see something like that. ^_^ My biggest blunder on Neo was trusting a close friend with almost all of my NPs. I had 6 mill, which I lent her to get Adam. What I did not know was that she was going to give my NPs to someone else who was supposed to borrow, give the NPs back to my friend along with enough NPs for her to get Adam, who would send them back to me. Unfortunately the person she trusted was a scammer - all 6 mill gone. That was in June... but it's only NPs, and I'm already back up to 1 mill. Life goes on.

Crusher Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Oh my gosh, that's terrible. I'd never lend NP, it's too easy to get scammed :(. I haven't blundered too much, mainly because I never have that much NP or rare items anyways :P. There was this one time I lost my account from around 6 years ago though! I got hacked, but my password was "adventures." I was 8! Go figure. =Cameron= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruto Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Wow that sucks. I don't have a whole lot of blunders. My biggest happened when I was a newbie and I happened upon a piece of the secret lab map. I didnt' know what to do with it, so I donated it. >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc8_mushroom Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 aww that sucks for you all :( well mine was probably trusting a friend with my password. she would slowly take some of my neopoints and eventually it got frozen but i got her back...haha so im not really mad about that. also i when my sister and i were new to neopets (which was a while ago), she won this faerie paint brush (before it was super rare) and sold it for 1k haha.

antiaircraft Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 My biggest blunder? I'd have to say selling 1000 shares of SHRX at a loss (when I was just starting with the stock market and got impatient XD ) just before SHRX's value skyrocketed.

I'd have to say selling 1000 shares of SHRX at a loss (when I was just starting with the stock market and got impatient XD ) just before SHRX's value skyrocketed. What. Only 1 thousand shares? :D Try repeating that same situation this time with 8000 shares...i did that when i was new in stocks. It was stocks for the neoppian times, and i got tired so i sold everything. I ddint look again for one week. Then i realized the value had rocketed to 52np per share...

I was poor back then, so I didn't buy any more than 1000 shares in one company. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~warriorcatsforever~ Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 when i was newer and being an idiot, i spend over 300,000 on a cure for my pet when she was sick instead of repeatedly taking her to the healing springs. but i am proud to say i have not done anything stupider. yet. i normally don't have enough money to screw up, because i am always saving for something, and then i buy it and start saving again...i don't do much with stocks. in fact, i don't do stocks at all. i would never trust my neopoints with someone else. and i am very paranoid about having an impossible password no one can guess and telling it to no one. so i am pretty safe.

Furry Curry Level 3 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 one time i had bought a baby blu super cheap, actually it may have been from the pet shop, anyway i forgot a zero when i priced it and lost out on 50,000. that was a long time ago though but it still sucks....

YumYum_00 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I have sold a lab map piece worth 200k for 10k once... Cuz I didn't know it was worth sooo much... And it's the Secret one, not the Petpet one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adris Undead Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I guess mine was that once one dude was looking for a petpet I had, so I traded him and he gave me a meowclops, and then I sold it! I'm the kind of people that never sells anything, but the avvie wasn't out yet, so I made like 10k for that ¬_______¬ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySussudio Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I don't really consider them major blunders, but, well - At the very start, even though I did know about the shop wizard, I didn't realise that the first person/shop it would show you was cheaper than the second, etc. So if I happened to be in someone's shop and saw something I thought was nice, I just bought it - and have now realised I could have spent hundreds or thousands of NP's more than necessary! o_O After all, I've seen some shops with the bottled sand in them for thousands of NP's, when others sell it for 1 NP! But back then I assumed that if they had a big, proper shop, they knew prices better and sold them at a decent price *lol* I seem to blunder a lot regarding my secondary Neopet. It's a Green Uni now but it was a Red Grundo. When I came across it, it said about adopting a Grundo - so I didn't think I actually got the Grundo, I thought it was like how you normally adopt a tiger or something in real life - they don't send you the tiger in the post! *lol* So I ended up getting a second Neopet when I didn't really want it. It grew on me though and I loved it as a Grundo. I then won a Morphing potion (I didn't even realise it would morph into another Neopet, I thought it would maybe change color and grow another ear or something *lol*). Since I didn't want to risk ruining my main Neopet, I used it on my Grundo - who then turned into the Green Uni I have now. The Uni has grown on me, but given the choice I'd rather have a Grundo - and it's called Miss_Grundie so that really annoys me *lol* The only other thing I can think of is, a few days ago I started playing Key Quest and I read, read and re-read those instructions - but I could still never find out how to get your prizes. Of course, once I asked on the Neoboards and someone told me, I went to go into the vault and the first thing I saw was the line about going to the vault to collect your prizes! D-Oh!

some_person Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 The dumbest thing I ever done would be when I used my green ice cream coupon and got a completely worthless ice cream or it could also be when I traded a yellow negg (Yes, the very expensive yellow negg) for negg points.

Jessica Marie Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I won an icetravaganza scratchcard and instead of selling it for 200,000+, the temptation to scratch it was too strong and i won nothing :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naalaro Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 i sold a laboratory map piece 600 (when it should have been 60,000). Similar experience here. There was a mess up while i was typing the prices...ended up typing prices for the next item over the item i was supposed to type for...not pretty. I updated before i knew what was going on, and when i had finished rushing to change it...lost a close to about 40 000 np...D: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picky_nut Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I remember that my biggest blund was to trust somebody and pass them some objetc for avatars. Only one week later, she closed her account. I never get them back.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unstream Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 My biggest blunder was a couple years back, in the old version of Neopets, like when galleries didn't exist and people displayed items in their shops by pricing them at 100,000 NPs. Of course, back then I was really young. So I didn't know those people were displaying their items. I thought they were trying to sell them, but you couldn't buy them if they were over 99,999. So I priced a white paintbrush at 99,999, thinking I was so smart. Little did I know that white paintbrushes are worth a couple hundred thousand.
