RoboHissi Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Sun Dried Techo Claw, but no avatar! Is it somewhat random then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 It appears to be. I got it with the second item I purchased. I'm glad it didn't take more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboHissi Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Since Neopets is trying to create more NP sinks, is it possible that you have to buy a certain amount of NP worth of items from the shops before you are awarded the avatar? I bought a Sun Dried Techo Claw for only around 200 NP, and I'm curious as to the total amount people spent in the shops before they got the avatar (so if people who bought more expensive things got it on their first try, but those who bought cheaper things needed a few tries).

Spritzie Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I think I spent 299 on the first item and 233 on the second. So I only spent 532. I don't think it's related to the amount of NP spent, considering how little I spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wembly Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Wow, I can't believe what this has done to the stuff in those shops. Empty? Really? They are always filled with junk. I guess now I have to sit around and wait for restocks when say yesterday there was tons of junk in those shops. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 And everything goes very quickly. It took me probably 5 restocks before I got the haggling point. Then 1 or 2 after that to actually get the item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7_rayne_7 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) I haven't hit a single RS...this bites... Edit: I finally hit a RS, made it to the haggle page, paid the full amount and sold out...Grr... Edit 2x: Finally RSed Peanut Butter Spiders, no luck...

Masaryk Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I've RSed 5 items so far, but no avatar for me yet. :( Random avatars don't like me very much. It is taking too much time, lurking in shops that I don't actually care to restock from right now, only to not get the avatar. Well, back to trying for me. EDIT: I got it on my next restock of Peanut Butter Spyders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7_rayne_7 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Grr...I just missed a RS. I refreshed, expecting nothing and continued checking my e-mail on another tab, only to return to find that I missed it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I was going to stalk Neovia for a while, but now that I know it's random too... that's too much trouble on a big site like Neopets. Too bad, it's one of the few good looking avatars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wembly Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 EDIT: I got it on my next restock of Peanut Butter Spyders! So it was you that got the last spyders! :eh: Haha, yeah, I bought a pie but no avatar, went for the spyder next but they were all gone. Here's to hoping it won't take too many items. I usually have rather poor luck with the random avatars. Bah! Still haven't got the graveyard one, so many hours of refreshing.... :sad02: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertoLuongo Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Got it after my third try. The shops were selling out blazingly fast when people first found out about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7_rayne_7 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 FINALLY! After 4 tries of buying different things...TA-DA! Buying : Skeith Juice Cocktail What goes into Skeith juice? You just dont want to know... Something Has Happened! You are now eligible to use 'Dark Lurker' as an avatar on the NeoBoards! The Shopkeeper says 'I accept your offer of 275 Neopoints!'

Vaccinated Jedi Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 The speed at which items are going is insane. I don' think I'll be trying very hard with this one. Edit: I found a codestone! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjschmitt2733 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I've bought a deviled steak, honey crumpet, skeith juice cocktail, and spooky doughnut and haven't gotten it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephé Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Anyone actually got it? I want to see how it looks... The avatar is on the first post! :) So far, I've only restocked three items, no avatar yet... didn't think it'd be that easy. :P EDIT: Fifth time! Something Has Happened!

Vaccinated Jedi Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I have given up for tonight. I cannot stay logged in long enough to do anything. Can't even get away from my inventory page. -_- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englandnz Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Got it on first restock. :) Bought an Octornapie. Tried earlier but it was all going far too fast for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corlee1289 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I got it on my first try as well <3 I bought the "Magic Ghost Marshmallows" But I agree, the rate of the items going out are insane~! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakurabelle Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I've bought three spooky foods items, but I still haven't gotten it. :( On a happier note, I didn't realize that snorkle snouts were sold at spooky foods! I'll have to keep that in mind for later, when the mad dash for the avatar is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to keep that in mind for later, when the mad dash for the avatar is gone. I didn't know that! Not that it is much help to me, considering, as of late, I am broke in the nps department. I was scammed, all of my nps and good items, gone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freesia Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I just bought a Sun Dried Techo Claw for 200NP and I got the avatar!!! I'm so happy that I could get it at the 1st try :laughingsmiley: But I waited for an hour before I managed to buy anything at the Spooky Food shop... Best of luck to those who are still trying!
