xSummer Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I finally found a person lending BGC but he said I need more trophies and collat. Problem is I will be 40 by the time I have collat and I am working on the trophies. He lent to people with less stuff than me however. Ever want to just give up something you want? I go on the board everyday and ask and nothing. He takes friend that vouch but my friends are like me. Is there good secret lenders out there who actually lend to people and aren't illegit?

Batman Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Honestly, I find that to find a lender it is all just luck. When I had a BGC I was all over the place with people I would lend. Sometimes I would only lend people in the 300+ avi range, sometimes it would be the number of stamps or trophies. But the only one thing that I was really consitent with was account age. I wouldn't lend to anyone under like 70+ months. I have no idea why i picked that but it seemed to work. The other side of it is that you have to actually be on when they are. I was always told that my account was trustworthy and was never on at the same time. So don't give up, you will find a lender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngrace Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 did their username start with a "m"? if so, he's a nf and i can try and put in a good word for you. ^_^ if it's the other guy i'm thinking of then he's a toughie, he only lends friends or people with semi-full collat unfortunately D: don't give up though, just keep chugging at it. in the meantime you can work on getting some of the easier trophies and maybe finish getting your pet avs? i have a snicklebeast for lending if you still need that avatar. good luck! @ batman: i'm still jealous of that massive stroke of luck you had during trillionftw. i never thought someone from tdn would win a bgc!

leedom111 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Awww, bummer :( I hope you find someone to lend to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 @ batman: i'm still jealous of that massive stroke of luck you had during trillionftw. i never thought someone from tdn would win a bgc! Yeah it really was just luck. I wasn't even really trying for that. I was trying for the MSPP before it. I think I only got two bids in on the BGC but hey i guess it worked. I wish i lent more people though before I got rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetdang Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I think most lenders only lend to those with huge amount of trophies or avatars, or account ages. If you can get someone with all that to vouch for you, it might make it slightly more possible, maybe! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxen Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 You could maybe ask a staff member from here that you're friends with to vouch for you? I would but I'm new so I don't think it would count for much :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSummer Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Well any staff that is viewing this are any kind neopian that wants to vouch I will be your friend forever haha and he could probably send to you too for the avatar is you still need it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Well, you could start working on your trophies I guess. http://www.neopets.com/~Old_reset_scores Check on that page, that will give you an idea of what score you need to achieve for a bronze trophy on the first of the month. :) Also, I'm not convinced anyone on TDN's staff would be interested to vouch for you. It's not that we don't like our members, or anything like that... but what if someone accepted to help you. And then a bunch of people said "well you vouched for Summer, so why not for me..." and we ended up vouching for someone who steals the item for instance. We wouldn't only risk our personal reputation, but TDN's too. And that's not something I can see anyone here wanting to do. And i doubt anyone on staff is rich enough to back up even just half of the BGC cost :P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSummer Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Well I would never out them and say of so and so vouched for me but I understand just thought I would put it out there haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Other than your trophies, your biggest obstacle is your account age. As Batman mentioned, the account age is normally a major factor in lending the big ticket items. I would also advise against vouching. In the very unlikely event that something happened to the item (RE, Grarrl eats it, etc), your neofriends who vouched are now out a significant amount of collat. Personally, I would never feel comfortable accepting vouches for that amount, even if there's a 99.9% chance nothing will happen. Are you a premium member? I've often found much more luck when borrowing on the premium boards. I even got lent BGC for free from a very nice lender. A lot of it is luck and timing too. I'm currently looking for an MSPP lend and, though most lenders say my account would be easily lent, I always tend to miss lenders when they're on the boards. Make sure you keep a tab/window open to the boards when you're online so you can catch lenders. I'd also say work on stamps. There are many you can get for under 5k and a good collection also helps to show a well-established account. Keep working on other avvies and a couple trophies (Neoquest 1 and 2 are a good way to get avvies AND trophies and a nice amount of np). You're account will age up a little and you should have more luck when borrowing. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
