M_a_t_t_y Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Am i better off buying it piece by piece or in one lot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viridian Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 They say it's cheaper buying them by piece... However, it's not a heck of a lot cheaper and certainly more work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 A factor is also do you have any lab pieces. If you have some of them then you should probably go piece by piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I always use http://www.neopets.com/~Dekasin when pricing my lab map pieces. Good luck getting the map. I am debating on buying it for one of my side accounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_a_t_t_y Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 thanks for the help.. i ended up buying 3 more pieces so i have 4 atm.. and 350k.. so i got a little bit to go before i can complete it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Le Coco Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Goodluck getting the lab map ^^ its totally worth the effort :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazycrazykitten Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Also don't forget to play keyquest as it sometimes gives you lab map pieces (not lately with all the halloween stuff, but if you're lucky...), and I'm not sure if you have the neopets toolbar or not, but if you do Tarla sometimes hands out lab map pieces as well, so it's a good way to get them for free if you're lucky.

Cassie Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I bought them piece by piece and it was extremly cheaper for me because a friend gifted me the first piece that was worth around 150k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_a_t_t_y Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 just an update ive got 7 pieces now.. i need 2 and 8 :) an yeh i have the toolbar.. but ive been gettin rubbish off tarla lately.. nothing worth over 3k and i got a cheaper piece from keyquest which is when i started buying it piece by piece :) EDIT- as soon as i posted this i saw the tarla alert flashing and i got Xweetok Cut N Paste Book - 750-900np :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midookami Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I've gotten a lap map piece from Tarla once, but it was the cheapest one. XD Thanks anyway, Tarla! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovedwallflower Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 hmm... i think its cheaper piece by piece as you can get some really good deals.. however, if like me, you dnt have any pieces yet and want to be saved all the trouble id go for the set.. thats what im going to do for my side :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Also don't forget to play keyquest as it sometimes gives you lab map pieces (not lately with all the halloween stuff, but if you're lucky...), and I'm not sure if you have the neopets toolbar or not, but if you do Tarla sometimes hands out lab map pieces as well, so it's a good way to get them for free if you're lucky. Conveniently though, that has lowered the market price of these particular map pieces for everyone else. Gotta love supply and demand, lol. I say go for it mate! You never know what you're going to get from the lab. Plus, you'll likely get a nifty avatar. What's not to love? - Apollo ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linda Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Hmm, I always buy the whole lot at once for 780k or so. But I know that there are many guides that show you buying piece by piece is statistically better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vixensykerd Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 If you have to save for them I'd get them piece by piece, that way each piece spurs you on to save for the next one (thats what I'm doing!). However, if you have plenty of cash just get them all at once :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Hmm, I just calculated the nps for buying it separately...and it still comes to about 770-780k :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashbash Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I found it to be too frustrating to try and get each piece separately and ended up just buying the whole thing together. It was too much of a hassle the other way for me. I'm very impatient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_a_t_t_y Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 woo i finally got the full map :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
