Lamppost Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Anyone else here a stamp collector? I figured we could get together and celebrate/commiserate while we're collecting. I've filled out all of my Lost Desert page except for the un-buyables. Right now I'm working on The Battledome, and I'm not sure what I want to do next. Any suggestions? I wish stamps weren't so expensive. Correction: I wish certain stamps weren't so expensive or hard to find. I'd like to finish at least one page in my album!

Spritzie Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I haven't really gotten into collecting much. I think I have 61 stamps. The Mystery Island page is the page I have the most complete. (44% complete) I would love to get the stamp collecting avatars, but I'm hording NP to get a Draik... so I'm unwilling, at least at the moment, to spend much on stamps.

Viridian Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I like stamps, and I'm sad that they are quite so expensive. I think in the end stamps are quite a big things of me on neopets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stamp collecting avatars are pretty sweet. I'd also love to get one, but with the current prices and how bad I am at restocking, I think the only way that'll happen is if I complete a page and then it becomes an avatar. Here's hoping... I admire your resolve to get a Draik! Good luck! I like stamps, and I'm sad that they are quite so expensive. I think in the end stamps are quite a big things of me on neopets. Agreed! Me too!

Spritzie Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Thank you. :laughingsmiley: I'm pretty much half the way to a Draik, if I spend all my NP. I love the Winter page avatar the best. I need to find out what stamps I need/have. I've ended up doubling up on stamp purchases, because I didn't realize I had it already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've ended up doubling up on stamp purchases, because I didn't realize I had it already. Oops! That's too bad. I too like that avatar the best, though I think my favorite stamp page is Neopia Central. In some ways, I wish they'd make an avatar of that one, but since it's near impossible to find most of those stamps, I kind of hope they don't!

Spritzie Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I think my favorite stamp page, is going to be the new Faerieland page. If they made an avatar for that one, I would definitely like that the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamppost Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 That sounds good! Anything Faerieland is usually pretty, so I agree! Perhaps I'll actually be able to finish that one, since I'm working on getting the stamps as soon as they come out. That way, they won't be impossible to find!

Spritzie Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 That's a good thought. Did you get the first Faerieland stamp, the Wheel of Excitement one from the Save the Wheels event? EDIT: In the news today, 4 Faerieland stamps were released. And with this one: So there's 5 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamppost Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 Oh, neat! I did get the Wheel of Excitement stamp. I'll have to check out the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bears54fan Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Yeah, I would like more stamps too, but not sure I want to shell out all that NP to complete the albums. TNT needs to put more of them out there! Some of us don't have millions and millions of NP, no matter how hard we try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamppost Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 True! I know I don't, even though I've been playing for 8 years! I'm no good at restocking, so that makes it tough to make lots of NPs. Does anyone know where to find a guide about the new Faerieland stamps? They aren't on any of my guide pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishLiz Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I would like to collect stamps, but I feel like it would get sad because of how expensive some of the stamps are. I would love the avatars, but they seem totally unobtainable, unless I turn into a totally awesome restocker. :laughingsmiley: Maybe I should collect some of the non-avatar collections in hopes that there's an avatar later. Do you think it's cheaper to buy the Faerieland stamps as they come out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it's cheaper to buy the Faerieland stamps as they come out? It's my plan also to hope for a later avatar, although I haven't been able to finish a page yet. I'm guessing it's not cheaper to buy them as they come out because the price will fluctuate wildly at the beginning, but it'd definitely be easier to find the rare ones, so you don't have a situation like the Coltzan Stamp that is virtually unattainable regardless of the price because you can't find a seller. I haven't decided what I'm going to do about it yet. I'll at least consider the going prices when they first come out. Does anyone else have an opinion on this? I'd love to get some advice from more seasoned collectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secre Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I like collecting stamps but I'm more into plushies! Stamps are too expensive in the long run I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverus Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I`m desperately saving for those last three Snowy Vally stamps. I want that avatar so bad! It`s going to take a year or two to save up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone found out more information about the new Faerieland stamps, like their name or their going price? I've been looking for it on all my stamp guides, but to no avail...

Ashbash Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I love stamp collecting but right now I don't have many neopoints to spare. I've spent them all on avatars. But I always buy new stamps when I'm able to! I'd love to finish one of my pages. I'm close on one of them, not sure which one though. Edit: I believe it's snowy valley.

Divya Bean Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I love the avatars, but there is no way I have enough NP to finish any one of those pages! Good luck to anyone who is trying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverus Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Haha, I thought my friend's math was a little wonky. He lost a zero. It will take me eight and a half years if I make 50,000 everyday...which I don't. Ah well, it'll be fun once I've gotten there. Maybe prices will deflate a little as I save. :laughingsmiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riverus Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 A challenge is nice though. I do have plans to spend a bit every time I make it to 11m, 21m, and 31m. After that, who knows. I just keep piling it up in the bank. Now if only the things in my trades would sell and my stocks would get back into the green... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamppost Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 In case anyone is wondering, I found out about the two new Faerieland stamps. They are called the Faerie City Stamp and the Healing Springs Stamp. The prices seem to be fluctuating for both, although the Healing Springs Stamp is quite affordable at about 30k. Faerie City is going for around 200k or more, from what I can tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Thank you for the info. I might have to pick up one, or both. (Probably just the Healing Springs for now.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
