Emily Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Overall, from experience or otherwise, do people think it's better to open the treat bags/goodie bags and hope for a prize that they need/want, or to sell them off (right away or after waiting until they inflate) for money to get something they want?

Octopus Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Don't open the bags, the bag is usually worth more than the contents (from experience, I've never gotten anything of worth from a bag). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I always sell them. I've sold all my Trick-Or-Treat bags for 10-50k. And that's more than covered the cost of me just flat out buying all the Silhouette Backgrounds that I wanted. Even if I'd opened them, chanced were I wouldn't have gotten them.

Shadaw the Rampage Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Ive opened three of the four ive gotten and got junk items. Trust me when i say keep it or sell it do not open it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I never open them anymore, haven't in years. I just put them in my gallery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wembly Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Do the trick or treat bags all have the same thing in them or is it a random chance thing and do we have a link on TDN for what's possibly inside them? AKA I haven't opened mine yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viridian Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I always sell mine.. That is because I've never had a good price from them before & I prefer money over chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmyjohn Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 i usually sell them but this year i tried opening them. on my first bag, i got a background. sold the bg and bought 4 more bags, 3/4 had more bgs so id say it is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAV of Gang Green Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I never remember if I get anything good or not from these. So I'd say sell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Now that the price of the backgrounds are so inflated (it was 30k the other day), I'm sooo tempted to open mine (Am after the Moltara background). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Item Search: trick-or-treat | Items: 1 | Qty: 8 Current value: 2.9k See, I haven't sold them, but I really don't think now is the moment to do so either. So I'm still undecided about opening or solding last year's bags... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopus Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 i usually sell them but this year i tried opening them. on my first bag, i got a background. sold the bg and bought 4 more bags, 3/4 had more bgs so id say it is worth it. You're lucky. I opened four and all of them had junk items. I've decided that this is the last time I'm ever opening a mystery bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goonza Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 don't open the bags. They usually bring junk to your inventory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arliona Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Basically, there are two possibilities: A ) open the bags, hoping for a Halloween Paint brush, or some items you like. Usually, you only get junk. You then throw these items into your SDB (they are somewhat limited edition, after all...), and go on your merry way. B ) you throw the bags into your SDB. Several years later, their value has inflated to a significant amount of NP. By that time you will either have forgotten about the bags, quit playing Neopets completely, or become such a good player that you can make that amount of NP in one day, so it's still better to wait for the price to inflate more, right? So, two choices, same outcome. Except in case B, you will always have the doubt of "what if the paint brush is there?" at the back of your head.

Rae Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I should have just sold them, but one time I got a really good prize and my curiosity is always too much for me to not open them :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitti Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I've spent a lot of NP (and I mean A LLOOTT of NP!) on goodie bags, mystery bags, and other items that give out items. Ironically it was one of the free bags I received that gave me Mystery Island Silhouette Background (which is worth about 95k) It's like the lottery - you hope you win, you bank on winning, you sweat bullets thinking *this* time will pay out... but deep down you know "I'm NOT going to win." and that's the one that's usually right.

Guest Yoshinho Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Sell the bag. All you get from them is junky food and wearables and some toys maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Featherstar Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I usually check to see what others have been getting from their bags, then decide whether or not to open it or to SDB it. x3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parry Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Nah, I always sell them when they're hot (i.e. immediately after I've acquired them). They fetch a good fortune =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 last year i kept them all in my SDB , and they are still there ... this year i got 4 bags and I opened them all. i got one BG (lost desert silhouette) and the rest was junk. i'm glad i opened them though .. i would have sold them all for like 80k and the bg alone will bring me more than that in just a few months. besides if i wanted a bag just for keeps i'll just buy one from the wiz. they're not that expensive and they deflate quickly and inflate very,very slowly over time, contrary to popular belief. I'd say open 2 and keep 2 .. he he he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammygdog_! Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I normally open one goodie bag and sell the rest right away. Then after they deflate I buy a few :yes: Usually I don't get anything of value *lol* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jubinator Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I used to promise myself: "I'll only open one this year" 2 minutes later, they have all been opened, and they were all filled with 2-3 items worth 10 neopoints each (if I was lucky). This was like 6 years ago though, so maybe there's better stuff in these bags. I just sell them now, I don't even tempt myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
century_gothic Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I agree, its better to wait till they worth something decent and sell them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxi Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I always open bags. I put the items in my safety deposit box so the prices will go up after a little time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fever Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I would never open mine, I'd sell the next year or so. You can sell them for quite a hefty amount, and often you'll just get cheap stuff.. Yet you can sell for a hundred times the price you'd get for the items you got.
