cloudedsunny Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Having gotten the packrat avvie I am now faced with a SDB full of 1189 items, mostly junk!!! I'd love to hear some opinions and experiences from you all about the questions below: Are there any benefits to hoarding a SDB full of random stuff that is worth nothing now but may be worth something some day? Are there any benefits to keeping a nice clean SDB with only the essentials you actually treasure in it? (Apart from the fact that you can find what you want, when you want it!) What is your opinion on getting rid of junk items - sell for 1np (hard to move) or discard? (I don't donate as nobody wants them anyway) Is making a side account REALLY worth it just to store stuff if you're not going to use its other features as well? Isn't the process of moving all the stuff going to take forever anyway? Well I guess that's enough questions, I'm interested to hear your answers now!

webpixie Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 first start taking out all the junk and start putting up lots in teh trading post, i personally would jsut say free on all of them then if someoen dose offer money(trust me allot still do) you can accept the highest. then start selling the itemsworth stuff. theres no point in keeping htingsi n your deposit box to rot, keep it for waiting until the price rises on stuff or stuff you like/dont wanna get rid of. everything else just sell or give away....

Matt Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 The most likely problen you will face with a bursting SDB is deflation. Most people hoard the most useless items for the Packrat avatar, and those aren't going to inflate in price. So sell now. When I got the Packrat avatar, I drove myself crazy switching between the Shop Wizard to price the things up in my shop. So crazy I employed a macro to do it for me. After that failed I tried some other methods... Basically, I started off with a reasonable sized shop. I sold as much as I could in the size it currently was. I priced everything up and left it for the night. From the money I got from that I was able to expand my shop to hold more of my junk! I did this until, eventually, it would've been stupid to get any bigger. Then priced things up in the evening, slept, woke up to see my bursting Shop Till and restocked the shop in the evening again. Simple loop, which stops you getting too bored with the whole process. At the end you'll be cackling with all the money locked up in your SDB that you never knew you had. I donated 20% of mine to the ALP and held an "Everythings 1np" to both save me time and generate some interest into it. Perhaps you could do something similar? Well, that's my story. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfly Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I will take all your items you don't want..o_O I know I must look crazy, but i will take them, if you start putting them in trades, I can take them 10 at a time or something, I know it could take a while, but you said above that nobody wanted them WELL I DO! What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiance Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 You can donate most of ur junky items, cause i've read that if u donate alot you find more things [like haunted wood map pieces, or codestones] well to me it's happen, ive donated alot useless stuff and later on i find things that are worth having. And u can give some of em to me too :) im still collecting items for the packrat avvie. :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfly Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 More like she will take them donate them for more good RE, but that has to be false. I claimed them first. -..- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnj Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Just out bit by bit into your shop and price it at like 2 or 1 nps each, then go to avatar/trading boards and say: "huge packrat sale in my shop everything must go"! And people like yourself who ARE still collecting for pacrat avvie will buy! It adds up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfly Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 or just give them all to me xD *pokes other posts* only if you want to of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiance Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Lol, if she decides to give it to us for free, i'll take most of it lOL jk. It's a race against timee muahaha andd nope im not gonna donate it if i do get it :P i do need items for my packrat avvie hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudedsunny Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 :P Fighting over rotten old shoes heh The trades idea is a good one I hadn't even considered. And the evening/overnight method sounds good too. Is there any confirmation on the donating thing? My whole deal is that when I used to go to the money tree I hated getting junk items, so I decided to trash any junk I had instead of trying to pawn it off onto someone else, but if there really is a benefit... TJ and Radiance, I sent you each some junk, but dude seriously! :eh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfly Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 TNT wouldn't allow the donating thing, it would be against their T&C, or something like that, it was probably just a rumor made up on the neo-boards. Thanks for the items. :D If you ever need to get rid of more, just send um my way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webpixie Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 yea the whole thing about donating giving you more random events is a lie, the only thing that gives you mroe is the birthday sidebar and one of the colors of lutari beads(dont know a site off the top of my head that explains what they do) and i beg everyone to NOT donate junk items to the money tree, somthing like toys or food i can understand but completly useless items no, just discard them instead of filling all neopia up with junk.

buzz Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Once I got the avie, I put everything in it in to the money tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiance Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 i dunno if that donating thing is actually true, but i dunno why, everytime i donate a couple of stuff a day, a couple days later i find things that i usually dont get. But i do remember reading somewhere on neopet fansite that donating stuff do get you more chances at finding random things though. o_O not sure if that been proven true.

Ellie_Penguin Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 What I do is give away those junk items to people who are working for the avvie. I ran a contest here and gave stuff to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Keep the books because they do seem to increase their prices a lot. Don't keep the junk you get from Underwater Fishing and stuff that are now worth less than 100nps. Also sell the Battledome equipment that really don't help you at the battledome. For example, the wooden shield is just for first-timers and I seriously doubt it will ever increase its price, as well as most of the other shields.

buzz Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I say sell everything in your safety deposit box. It is doing you no good in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikaown Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Sell it. Most things don't increase in price that dramatically (with a few exceptions), and if you just got the packrat, the items are probably close to worthless anyways, which means that it's even less likely to increase.

.Dan. Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Nothing really inflates in Neopets, as it isn't really affected by anything other than upcoming events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy ♥ Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Stuff does inflate! When I started playing there was nothing over 1 million neopoints. It was unheard of. Now? Most of the good stuff is WAY expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King James Blaze Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I heard a rumor that if you deposit items to the money tree, you get better luck with Random Events, if you have that much items you should test out the rumors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
