zhao Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Just wondering does anyone know why the book How to make your own slide is worth like 10000 NP in marketplace and the other books are only worth 6000? Is there something special about the first one? Or why do people choose to restock that one over the other? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky_thief Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Why is anything more important than something else? It's just what happens, really. For the most part, price is determined by rarity (whether real or perceived) and what's currently in vogue. Baby Paintbrushes will probably always sell for multi-millions, Super Attack Pea may eventually cost 1 BILLION, and Lemon Jelly will probably never cost more than 5 NP. Sometimes, the price itself demands more attention, making more people want it because they think it's rare, which pushes the price up even higher, and it just goes on. It's just like any real world economy. Inflation inflation inflation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhao Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 But the advent calender Books are all rarity 101.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent&Sullen Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Or, there's theory #2: It just looks cool. It doesn't mean it's actually worth more than the other books, just means it's much more beautiful looking (nice for galleries I guess), ha. In my opinion, buying things that came from the advent calendar defeats the purpose... Question: What does the super attack pea actually do, anyway? I've always been curious. EDIT: A lot of things that are 101 rarity are less 5 NP. *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, people collect omelettes and jellies for Pete's sake. Weird, but whatever. And I totally agree. ._. Why would I buy what I can go get for free!? Super Attack Pea is, in theory, a really super amazing BD weapon. In reality, though, it's only so-so (or so I've heard). I'm pretty sure there's a review on TDN's Battlepedia if you go look it up.

lovedwallflower Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 well it makes sense that people would buy something that they missed from the advent calendar. not everyone can stay online everyday.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent&Sullen Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Yeah, I know, I'm one of those people (it's by sheer luck that I've been able to log in everyday). My point is the items aren't exactly worth over $10,000. Maybe I'm just super cheap. :P I don't like paying for things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane for Wax Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 The whole of Neopia decides how much something is worth though. How do you know how much they 'exactly' are? How does anyone? It's perceived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent&Sullen Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 True. Something I could find at around 1 NP could be my most prized possession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhao Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 with the neopet population to be so big, the distribution of likes should be about normal. but i dont know what that distribution is =(. I was thinking of the looking cool thing too haha that changes the price.. Other than advent, Anyone know why EO codestone price is shooting up so much? it was 7k a week ago, now its 9k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoeRan Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Is there something special about the first one? Yes, there is. It was released on the first day, the day quite a lot of people probably forgot that the advent calendar started again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
