Syrin of Neopia Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 if anyone knows if I can get the Secret Lab Map pieces 1, 2, 5, 6 without getting them from the trading post. I haven't seen any of them for sale in the shops & they are the only ones I still need. Any & all answers would be appreciated. Thanks!

Octopus Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 All of them are unbuyable, so you probably won't find them in a shop. You probably have to use the trading post or auctions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arliona Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I won piece 5 by playing Keyquest yesterday. It happens, but very rarely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuroida Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 they're all too expensive to be put in shops. What's wrong with the trading post? o.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloods_Mistress Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 meh, trading post is just difficult and doesnt have the satisfaction of immediate buying. and theres a chance your offer is rejected : ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopus Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Don't avoid the trading post! Not getting the item you want is a risk you always have to take, but there's always the chance of finding a sweet deal. Also, your chance of getting rejected are generally low unless you're underoffering or a lot of people are offering on the same trade (I'm basing this on how I deal with trades). Waiting can be difficult but personally I've been frustrated many times by people withdrawing on my trades because I was inactive for a few hours. I try not to make other traders feel the same :laughingsmiley:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the only reason I've been avoiding the trading post is because it appears that most users are either selling 4 sets or only one piece & I don't know what a fair price would be to offer when most don't have a "wishlist" price listed. Also, as Bloods_Mistress said, it's sometimes easier/more satisfying to just buy & know it's in my possession already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopus Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 My post was directed towards Bloods_Mistress but I agree with both of you about the satisfaction of instant buying. It's just that people seem to be withdrawing from my trades for the same reason so I think such a feeling has its downsides. Sorry, I react towards people withdrawing from my trades the way some people react towards other users quitting Key Quest <_<. Pieces 5 and 6 have a chance of falling below the 100K price since they're kind of borderline though. Maybe you can neomail the people who don't have prices up and ask if they are willing to haggle?

Bloods_Mistress Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 oh my GOD do I hate people withdrawing from keyquest >< almost as much as i hate the guys who OBVIOUSLY arent having the same lag problems as me >.> and i DONT avoid the trading post, im just saying its a small problem with it. as for prices? look at sunnyneo's secret laboratory map piece price list HAHA!! had it bookmarked ^^ http://www.sunnyneo.com/lab_map_prices.php hmm....this has been a bad week for prices v.v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeseStorm Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 as for prices? look at sunnyneo's secret laboratory map piece price list HAHA!! had it bookmarked ^^ http://www.sunnyneo...._map_prices.php hmm....this has been a bad week for prices v.v I was just going to ask what the map is going for now-a-days. I was lucky enough to get the full map back when it was 97k. And to keep this relevant to the OP post, I did get it on the TP then; observingly I don't think you'll find that price, but still....

I ended up getting two of the pieces I needed, ironically off of the TP but for fair prices. The other two I guess I'll just have to wait (mostly bc I have to build back up my NPs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
