persephoniekali Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Do you ever feel bad spending your hard-earned points? I have been hoarding them and now I'm trying to get avatars, but I find myself balking at buying items that are 100k (or more, obviously). I keep telling myself, once I get "x" amount of points, THEN I'll buy the item to get the avatar.....its not working... "x" is never enough!! :sad02: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 YES! I get buyers remorse with everything I buy LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Yes, especially since I mostly buy backgrounds and clothes. It wipes out my hard earned NP so quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopus Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I'm so frugal on Neopets that I feel bad if I have to buy anything over 5K (the Bonju avatar totally wrecked my balance)! Nevertheless, I'm still planning on getting a Halloween PB so we'll see how that goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephoniekali Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 Good Luck. I want a draik or krawk but I cant even fathom spending that much! :sad01_anim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto of Meridell Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I'm so frugal on Neopets that I feel bad if I have to buy anything over 5K (the Bonju avatar totally wrecked my balance)! Nevertheless, I'm still planning on getting a Halloween PB so we'll see how that goes. I think I spent under 2K for the avvie... I had a friend find me the Orange Juice and the Blumaroo Steak with the SSW. I then bought 'Gourmet Cooking For Your Pet' for about 600 NP at the Book Store in Neopia Central. Overall, I have TONS of guilt when I spend my neopoints... though after 4.5 years on Neopets, you'd think that I'd have more than just 1.6 million neopoints! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I hoard NPs. I can't stand to buy anything. I think it's just because I like numbers. :P My goal is to get my account up to... whatever the highest one is. Ultimate Riches or something like that. Once I've done that, I'll totally drain it for avatars. Assuming I can't get them here, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fableheart Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I never spend my points, unless its for an avvie ^^ I'm cheap that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I'm pretty much the opposite of frugal, and I really don't care much about spending massive amounts of NP. xD So it's fortunate for my finances that I really don't have much I want to buy, and that most of my assets end up locked up in the stock market anyway. Although I would feel a bit better if I managed to top a million NP worth of liquid assets sometime... (: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have over 3 million neopoints but whittled most of it away on purchases I now regret. Bonju's the most I've ever paid for an avatar and will be the most I ever pay.

jumpingbeans Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Yeah, most of my Neopoints are in the Stock Market, so I can't spend them. The only things I buy are PBs that I sniped to re-sell, a few chance games(I know they can't get me anything) and some Stocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I'm huge on saving NP like crazy. I will not spend any more NP than is needed. I usually don't even browse shops, except sometimes the Post Office... but if I buy any, it's from the NP I've made that day from games. I don't withdraw NP for it. I spend most of my time on Neopets, playing games. I'm saving for a Draik, and I'm just barely below 8 million. I'll probably hit it in the next day or two. But then again, I do spend NP on my husband. Right after the AC ended, I bought him a Darigan PB. Then I bought him a Darigan petpet, and a couple other petpets. So I'm not as big as spending money on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaraquanEyrie Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I know exactly what you mean, but I have a plan :D ok so I figure is I save enough for the 'number six' avatar Today: 10,949,645 NP Then I think I'll be able to part with my np (hopefully) edit: Thanks for the advice, though I knew it changed I didnt know it did so every day so thanks,but like most people I'm aiming for the "low" 5 million (I just checked and it was at 7,926,030 NP) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I managed to get the Number Six avatar when it was just over 5.4 million. I don't know what your balance is, but I recommend checking daily. It's bound to go back into the 5-6 million range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, does he still work at Neopets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuroida Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I love to browse and if there's a petpet I really want *coughyellowwerhond* then I have no regrets buying it (unfortunatly, there's always the problem of I never have enough money) -_- I'm not an avatar collector though so if I were to spend the same amount of money on avatars as petpets then I would definitely get buyer's remorse.

Secre Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I'm fairly good at saving my neopoints, and I only get buyers remorse if it was an impulse buy that I know I'm going to regret later! I had no issues with the royal PB because I'd been desperate for one for ages, same with the fire PB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
