Angeló Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 I hunted down the secret lab map today .. I wanted a second set Sellers of Full sets were asking for 535K minimum ... one even wanted 650-700k .. I was like , fat chance dude! <_< I started buying them piece by piece .. I got a couple good prices at the shopwiz (the cheapest ones) then hit the TP .. I must have offered on tens of pieces :D I know that on the TP , most people want a quicksale , so I offered lower-than-TP prices ... I managed to save at least 20k off the shopwiz price on each piece ... end result : 435,300 NP total paid :D I think it's a very snazzy price compared to the outrageous prices the SLM was going for until a few days ago .. we're almost back to 2005 he he he ... of course it'll never be for 200k again ... but hey ... it's still awesome :D so .. I'm gonna send the map to my side , and zap "randomsilliness" the Yurble .. I think the name fits for a lab rat :) I also got the petpet lab map to compliment it ... EDIT: my first lab zap : The ray is fired at randomsilliness ... and he gains 4 maximum hit points my first petpet lab zap : The ray has increased its level to: 2 Quote
Kwa Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Wow, what a fantastic bargin!! I paid almost 1.1 mil for my lab map about 3 months ago! If only I knew this was gonna happen, could of saved myself a bundle! Congrats Angelo!!! Quote
Khelddar Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 I paid 1 million for mine a few months ago. Congratz on the 100K profit, if you are selling it that is Quote
Guinness Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 3 years ago, whole set of lab map just cost you about 450k i take my pet to the lab (almost) everyday, his health point is 592 now although he remains level 1 :whistle: Quote
Dcoolb Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Congrats! You've had a lot more luck at zapping than I have! XD But I'm still seeing people putting the full map on the TP for 900k still! I'm glad I spent a lot less! Quote
Scarlet Fever Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Congrats on the great deals! I feel like kind of a clod for spending 1mil on the map the morning of the day the code went out. lol..Oh well, I met a pretty cool person by buying the set. I'm thinking about buying my missing pieces for my other two sides. Quote
Manta Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Gratz Angelo!! :D The low prices are making me want a second lab...even though i know how terrible my luck is with it. xD Quote
Syrin of Neopia Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Congrats! I just bought my second full lab set yesterday, also just buying individuals. I think I spent closer 500k. I did manage to snag all but one piece from shops alone and got piece #5 for about 110k. My first zap on my new set? Gender change for my side Cybunny <_< Quote
Tank Girl Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 POO!! I wish I'd read this like... 30 seconds ago I just bought another map for 570K :O I'm debating what to do with it... I don't know whether to put it on a side or give to my friend Josh who doesn't have one yet. I traded my Pirate Chomby for a RG Shoy for him recently as well, reckon if I give him the map as well I'll just be spoiling him haha. I dunno o_O Quote
Mandipi Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Nice! I didn't even consider using the map for a side... I might now. I bought it in hopes that it'll rise again some day and I'll make a nice profit. Or maybe I'll buy another one... 2 map sets for a price less than what 1 cost a few days ago. Sheeesh. Quote
Angeló Posted June 23, 2011 Author Posted June 23, 2011 Nice! I didn't even consider using the map for a side... I might now. yeah , me neither ... but then I said .. why not!!? I just bought another map for 570K :O well that IS the going price .. even if you buy them individually from the wiz + the UB "mountain" one (number 5) ... you'd still spend that amount .. I just happen to like to bargain and i'm very patient , i stayed for more than 2 hrs on the TP last night bidding on the "newest" pieces that kept showing up ... and eventually someone would accept my offer .... I did manage to snag all but one piece from shops alone and got piece #5 for about 110k. I was going to buy them from the shops .. but still the pieces that go for 80k on the shop, I bought for 60 or 65k ... I didn't pay more than 65k for any piece except 80k for the bubbles one (shopwiz 99k) and 103k for #5 :) even though i know how terrible my luck is with it. xD you should go for it .. you never know . my luck is terrible too (today my yurble didn't change at all and i lost 2 lvls on my main) .. i think i have double the chance of annoyance now ... but it's still fun I'm still seeing people putting the full map on the TP for 900k IKR?!!! they need a reality check !! someone neomailed me asking for 475k for ONE PIECE only ... and when I told her I got it for 80k she said "I don't care" .. haha jerk ! Congratz on the 100K profit, if you are selling it that is Thanks , but I'm using it on my side If only I knew this was gonna happen, could of saved myself a bundle! yeah , no one knew that ... and the only reason I actually got it is because it deflated and I took a chance ... and I decided that if it were to cost me more than 450k , I won't get it ... there was no way I was going to buy it at the old prices ... 3 years ago, whole set of lab map just cost you about 450k yeah !! and 3 yrs before that , it was for 200k only ... it seems to keep doubling and doubling !!

MELioristic Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 I just started using the lab ray, I mostly traded items for peices so I really don't know how much I payed. So far my pet has changed gender and gained two strength points. Quote
Nika Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Congrats on the great deal! But I must be out of the loop. Why did the prices drop so dramatically? I have a map on my main and my side... I got both so long ago that I don't know what I paid, but I'm sure it wasn't anywhere near a million. I don't think I'll be collecting another but with a price that good, who knows! Quote
MELioristic Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 actually that's true, I never thought Id purchase the full map, what with all the peices I found randomly, but now with the awesome prices now might be the time! Quote
Angeló Posted June 23, 2011 Author Posted June 23, 2011 Congrats on the great deal! But I must be out of the loop. Why did the prices drop so dramatically? TNT gave out a code in celebration of their 1 Trillion Views the code gave you a random lab map piece .. so all of them dropped in price ... i think you can still use it ... go to Grundo warehouse and submit this code NEO1TRILHPRZCDE Quote
MELioristic Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 I got a cheap peice, but anyway I've gotten the full map since then so that's okay, still awesome to get a freebie! Quote
Nika Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Thanks Angelo for giving me the link and the code! I never would have known about this otherwise. Thank goodness for TDN! Quote
Cornflakes Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Hrm, tempted to buy a full set and wait for them to inflate again... Quote
Angeló Posted June 23, 2011 Author Posted June 23, 2011 Hrm, tempted to buy a full set and wait for them to inflate again... that may take a while ... I think but I'm bad with investments so .. I don't know :mellow: Quote
daisy08 Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Congrats! That's a real bargin. I think I might have paid about 700k to get mine with a few pieces from REs aswell. Quote
