agreff Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Is anyone else holding out for the Lab map? I would just barely have enough to afford the outstanding 1050k-ish price, but according to another neo-related site (sorry, I don't know how you guys/the mods feel about posting other sites) sunnyneo, they claim that about a month ago it was in the 860-875k range. I think TNT definitely needs to start throwing some more pieces out in the wild because this is getting ridiculous! EDIT: you can PM me here or contact on neo Quote
Envy Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 I got my map mid October and I paid under 700k for it (which was my entire bank). I had one of the 100k+ pieces already so that helped with the price a bit. It's just typical supply and demand.. Quote
zhao Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 im pretty sure its not at the 1050k range... thats 100k+ per piece.. Quote
kacheek.love Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 hmm, the lowest i saw was 750k ^^ im waiting for the price to fall to that range before getting the full set. ^^ good luck!! Quote
goldmoogletron Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Is it really up to 1m+? About a week and a half ago I payed ~850k. Quote
losorlaugh Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Uhh.. I guess I'm never gunna get that set.. Quote
Shadaw the Rampage Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 yikes glad i only paid 800k for mine. Quote
Ubbles Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Really? Pfft, its amazing that with pieces of the map being handed out in KQ that the price is still inflating~ I'm laughing at markets blow up. This makes me wanna pursue a career in economics! ;D Quote
Nad Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Really? Interesting. But inflation happens in everything, not just in map pieces. I haven't invested that much on my pieces and I'm like just missing one and it's actually one of the more common pieces, just don't have enough atm. xP Quote
hannibala Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 I dont understand why neopets prices now a days are over the top!!!! 3 years ago things were more reasonable, i bought my secret lab map for no more than 250k...i also bought a draik transmogrification(750k) potion and a plushie paint brush(1.6mill) and a mystery island paint brush(for 1.2mill) and I aldo had the CHOKATO TCG which i had bought for 250k (i wish i had saved it in my SDB...grr hahah)...I dont understand.

Batman Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 I bet the reason why it inflated so badly was because of the release of the manga pets. Everyone wanted them. Quote

It's just typical supply and demand.. Especially when there are way more players than before... (Maybe, I doubt older players would've stayed for this long.) And theres more NPs in the neopian market now than before. More money means more inflation. ;D @theknowledge02;; I don't really know, but I thought you could transform your pet into magma by catching the fireflies or whatever. IMO, I really don't understand why anyone would want magma pets, they're ugly. ._.' Quote
Envy Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 IMO, I really don't understand why anyone would want magma pets, they're ugly. ._.' Part of it is wanting something new.. I'm sure this will end up being no more than a passing fad since it's so easy to get your pet painted Magma (well, easy compared to other means). I think the pets look great, though. Quote
AhMunnaEatChoo10 Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 the price is up?!?! oh noo...I've got the complete set for the petpet laboratory map...But I haven't completed the original lab map yet...I'm only after the petpet lab...for now...CX Quote
agreff Posted December 16, 2009 Author Posted December 16, 2009 im pretty sure its not at the 1050k range... thats 100k+ per piece.. What? I just went through every page at the TP and not one person was offering it for under 1 million. In fact, people are now trying to get 1.1 million from it! :| :| Quote
twistedgalaxy Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 NO need to buy the full set through the trading post! It's inflated because they are banking on your laziness. Quote
Gasol61 Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 I bought mine around summer time for only about 800k I guess I lucked out ^_^ Quote
nyckennyjai Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Most of it is probably due to the 10x score sendings until the end of the year. Much more money is going out to the public, i mean... have you looked at the prices of codestones? Eo codestones have officially hit 10k lmao ;x Quote
Nemo Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 I bought mine last spring for about 700-750k after the huge deflation. I was actually planning of buying another one, but it looks as I will have to wait until the price goes down Dx Quote

That is plain ridiculous! Quote
Midookami Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Are you guys serious?! Time to sell all my hoarded codestones and map pieces! XD (I've just recently helped my friend get a lab set, too!) Quote
Vixensykerd Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 I got mine for around 700k a few weeks ago :P hahaha! It'll probably go down soon, just a good chance to sell I guess :) Thingy-m-bob (can't remember who you are sorry!) has a good point though, they really are banking on your laziness to sell you it at that price - get them all individually, its so much cheaper no matter what the inflation. Quote
May. Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Wow, the price has inflated. o_O I'm sure it'll drop soon enough, though. c: Quote
agreff Posted December 17, 2009 Author Posted December 17, 2009 OP here again, so I've managed to get every piece but #8 for around 750k which is fine with me, but I've neomailed about 5 people so far asking how much they want for piece #8 and I get no response. Since no one is selling them individually on the TP I really have no clue how much the last piece is going for. Can anyone fill me in? Possibly someone wanting to sell the piece? :D Quote

Since no one is selling them individually on the TP I really have no clue how much the last piece is going for. Can anyone fill me in? Possibly someone wanting to sell the piece? :D I was stuck on piece #8 as well. Recently, I bought my piece for around 200-230k. Last month or so, I think they were selling for around 190k so if you wait a bit, I'm pretty sure the price will drop. ^^ I check SunnyNeo since their prices are almost always accurate. http://www.sunnyneo.com/lab_map_prices.php Quote
