Jenny ^_^ Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 My friend started playing neopets the same time that I did and like me, she hadn't touched her account for years. She's not playing now so I asked if I could have some of her stuff and I got a spotted easter negg, worth about 4 million. I've been trying to trade and auction this sucker off for over a week now and I'm not getting anything. I've gone down in price to 3.95mil but don't want to go down much more. Does anyone have advice on selling something this huge? It's certainly the most expensive item I've ever owned. Quote

Cassie Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 I had the same problem with an item worth 200k. I eventually sold it 150k. It was a rare slushie of some sort. You just have to lower it to the point where someone is willing to pay for it. that sadly is supply and demand. Like how swimming suits cost less in winter rather than summer. Quote
Lyndsie Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 Yeah, I'm having the same problem with an item I won from King Skarl. Maybe you should advertise on the boards and lower the price a bit more. ;) Quote
Apollo Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 It doesn't cost you a thing to keep re-listing like it would in real life, so just keep on re-listing it at the lowest price you'd be happy with. You've gotta remember it's an item you've gotten for free! - Apollo ;) Quote
imnotgeorge Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 If I were you I'd just hoard it in the gallery and keep it in the back of your head so if one day demand for the negg suddenly spikes you'll recognize the opportunity right away. I guess it comes down to how urgently you need the income... If it's not urgent then just hoard and wait for the right time :D It's always nice to have a UB like that in the gallery anyhow. Quote
linda Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 The trade boards are BRUTAL. XD If something's worth 4mil...they'd probably get you to sell it for 3mil or something ==' Quote
Sapphy the Swamp Witch Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 Try putting it up for auction at 3.5 million? Then everyone would be like 'WOW cheap!" and you'll have a whole bunch of people bidding. Before long, it should be sold. ;) Quote
Shadaw the Rampage Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 My advice is the auctions, start a bit low but make it so the np increase is enough your happy with if three people bid. that way your at least close. Quote
shell Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 My advice would is just keep it in your trades, making sure to put it up for trade again every two weeks. Eventually, some collector will want it- but this should be done only if you do not need/really want the quick np. I did this with a painted petpet, and it was in the trades for about a month before someone offered. Quote
