keithp Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Well, when I first began Neopets they were giving out the Ice Bori's. I got one, and pounded it so someone had a chance to get it, only to see it turn blue. Then when I got the lab ray for the first time I got a red lutari, tried pounding it, and it said it ran away. After that I never got any ultra rare pets again, yet. Now I know not to do that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAV of Gang Green Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I didn't know how to reach my inventory for the first 3 months in which I had a Neopets account. I was living off the Soup Kitchen for that whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luciana Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Remember those chain letters people would attach to the 'Wishlist' part of their trades in the trading post? I just wanted to see if I would get a free faerie paintbrush! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to see if I would get a free faerie paintbrush! 10 Poison Lollipops :P Go to faerieland, get the PB. XD Fell for that and got some...advice....from neopets to stop :P That was...6 years ago :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali Cat Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Ooh man, this is tough. I'd probably say my MOST noobish action was falling for a beyond obvious scam. It ranks up there with trying so hard to get negative neopoints before I realized it only happened through random events . . . Lets see, I've also seriously talked in chatspeak before I realized . . . it's annoying. I did those chain letters in the TP as well, but on a different account than the one I have now ;P I can't even access that account anymore. I also didn't realize for the longest time that when you're haggling in a shop, you're racing other players o_O I kept wondering why stuff was sold so quickly. Not to mention that I sold a Skunk Paint Brush from the fruit machine for 60k or so xD Didn't bother checking the prices, just picked a random amount. Uhm . . . yeah xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Score in Blue Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I managed to spend 10k on Coconut Shy until realising that it was rigged... I did the same for Test Your Strength... I'm such a noob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vampire_girl Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 For first three months on my frozen account, I never knew how to save money. I didn't know how to use bank, so I never could have more than 20k. I always managed somehow to spend all money on junk :rolleyes_anim: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I have sold a prize item from the Altador Cup II for like 9k instead of 90k (missing a 0 can be a killer when you price your shop...) Also, I lent an item to a friend... who accidentally donated it. =_= I don't remember what the item was, though. Nothing really expensive. But she kept saying she was sorry.

Secre Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Until a year or two ago I didn't know how to work the TP or the Auction House. And had never tryed... Very early on I got a Xweetok Morphing Potion out of a RE and sold it for 50k as I couldn't find a price on SW. Never had another one! I always used to just ignore Faerie Quests without looking so I may have had a FFQ without realising!! Ummm there's probably tons more but I can't think of them atm.

jumpingbeans Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Like Secre, I'm almost sure I missed a FFQ, thinking it was a Water Faerie quest. I also accidentally gave my Lenny a Bori Transmogrification potion that I got from Dr. Sloth, without knowing what it was. Luckily, I never posted any 'Post this into seven other trades and get a free PB' in the TP, only because I couldn't post a wishlist, because I wasn't old enough.

This must be a new feature, because I've always been able to put wishlists. I was 10 whenever I posted the SPAM on the TP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Hm... Selling items for the "suggested" price. That price is TOTALLY not related to the actual value of an item. I did that for something that was really valuable without knowing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think COPPA is new then, because I've never been able too. Did your parent/guardian sign the COPPA form? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopus Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Don't know if this counts but...about two years ago I thought I was going to quit Neopets permanently so I spent all my hard-earned NP on junk. If I hadn't done that I would've been able to upgrade my bank account by now :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domino Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 When I was on the TP, I always used to wonder what a "K" was. I would go around neopets, searching for an item, the letter K. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyM Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Oh BOY! When I first started playing like 6 or 7 years ago. My little sister also started playing, I bought her a snowbunny back when they were cheap. I had just started playing and didn't know I could send it to her, or about the trading post. I put it in my shop for 1np. When I told her to go buy it from me, It was long gone. Now they have inflated so much since then. Your welcome to whoever got that snowbunny :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovedwallflower Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 i got a lab map from a RE and voluntarily donated cos i thought it was worthless :S heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course :P Printed it out, my parents signed it, and we sent that thing to neopets THROUGH THE MAIL :P This was classic neopets :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drosophilius Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I didn't know once that you needed the Secret Laboratory Map to use the petpet one, so i bought all 9 petpet pieces at much more than they were worth because I didn't bother to check the shop wiz. When i couldn't do anything with them, I got angry and threw them away. :< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fableheart Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I probably turned down maybe 2 FFQs, thinking they were water faerie quests. That was like back then when I first started neopets. Never got another FFQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuroida Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 When I was on the TP, I always used to wonder what a "K" was. I would go around neopets, searching for an item, the letter K. :D OMG!! The same thing happened to me when I was a kid! XD I never knew what it was so I had to look it up on google and I kept getting "kelvin" (as in the unit of temperature). I had no clue what temperature had to do with neopets so I was forced to ignore everythng at the TP whose whichlist was "[insert number here] K" Now, years later after losing my old account I finally realzed how dumb I was :P Hm... Selling items for the "suggested" price. That price is TOTALLY not related to the actual value of an item. I did that for something that was really valuable without knowing it. Yup, did that too. Wasn't too valuable though. I've never gotten any paintbrushes or treasure maps or anything in my life so it couldn't have been those.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeachesAndCream Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I remember selling several items for a random amount of NP when I first started, not knowing what they were worth or how to check. Random event items automatically went into my shop for whatever. Makes me wonder how much that stuff was actually worth...
