Artios Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Do you guys ever get in the mood to spend once in awhile? Like just now, I bought an unnecessary large amount of codestones.. which I highly doubt I'll be using anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca~ Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Sometimes, but I normally end up spending it on codestones (just like you did!) but I use codestones daily. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dummydumpty Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Yes. Since half-day of this month (the first time I've massively spent from shops), I've been looking at some shops to see if there's a rare I could get my hands on (to restock), or that I could use/keep for my pets. I always want to buy all the books and gourmet food so the "required" lists get a little smaller, but I have to remind myself I must save all that money for a bigger purchase. While a 1,000 NP book doesn't seem that expensive, it's a little set back from my current goal, especially if you multiply this by 10 every day. I buy dubloons regularly since I train one of my pets, and codestones in the future once she can no longer train at the Swashbuckling Academy.

andaraen Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Occasionally, I realize I made a little more than usual and think spending it wouldn't be bad. Then I smack myself on the hand and say, "Bad andaraen! Bad girl!" x3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazrandus Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 When I first decided to collect avatars, I had a huge spending spree on all the avatar items that were not excessively expensive. Otherwise, I'm a NP miser *greedy kad hiss* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chouchouter Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I usually go on a spending spree for avatars. So if I just bought one item for an avatar I'll usually just go and buy another one and another one.. and then I have no more np :laughingsmiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo_Girl Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Not really. Unless I've set my mind on training my pets, reading them books, or buying them wearables and wrote them down on a "shopping list" I don't tend to spend any NPs out of impulse at all. There's occasional times when I just randomly buy stuffs like MPs or PBs but only one at a time since those tend to be expensive, so it doesn't really count. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koralis Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I'm not a huge spender either. I prefer seeing my bank account grow rather than my SDB. However, sometimes I get a feeling like 'oh, why not, I can afford it' and I'll drop a huge chunk on usually just one item - most likely for an avatar.

Dynohawk Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Yes, but in real life lol I'm buying looooads of Codestones atm though too for training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakabato Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Sometimes, I'd go on a spending spree on furniture and gourmet food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotforgimmick Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I usually end up spending just for the sake of it so I never had a whole lot of np at one time, but I've been really good about it since I came back. I'm saving for a Krawk, so I want to at least get that before I start spending on random things again. Lol it's going to be hard to see my bank account lower than it is now though... I almost don't even want to buy the Krawk MP until I have another mil in the bank. Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha Im also a huge np miser, mostly because i don't have a lot of np haha Also, gotforgimmick, i have a pirate krawk mp that any tdner can have for 700k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwarlen Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I usually spend too much just at one time. Sometimes I spend at the wheel of extravagance or buy an expensive weapon (totally worth it for a greater healing scroll). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn the Human Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I know I do a lot. Most are on codestones and Half Price Day. I also spend on investments, on items that are retired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andaraen Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I know I do a lot. Most are on codestones and Half Price Day. I also spend on investments, on items that are retired. Almost forgot about Half-Price Day. I walked away from this past one with more than 300 items. x3 But I couldn't feel bad about spending on that because it had the possibility of profit.

passiflora Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I used to be really tempted to spend a lot of NP in one go, but for now I'm focusing mainly on saving and it's gotten easier to "resist temptation" haha. The more I save, the easier it will be to drop NP on goals in the future. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I usually blow a bunch on stamps. I'm working on my album, and was trying to buy 1 stamp/day, but I usually end up forgetting. So one day, Ill be like "haven't bought stamps in a month!" then spend 1mil+in like, an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebell_rose Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I spent a lot mainly on stocking stock for my shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainshower Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I go on neopian spending binges from time to time, its usually for gallery items though. I regret the ones I did for avatars in either July or August, and the lab ray (I think I could've waited a bit longer for it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koralis Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 For the most part I don't go on spending sprees, but every once in awhile I get the urge to 'improve' my account by adding to my stamps, collectable cards and gallery (like right now). I always try and buy the cheapest first, but even they start to add up - especially the cost of expanding my gallery to add more items. I would consider that unstoppable spending since every NP I make goes towards buying something new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vyvren Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I go on NC Mystery Capsule sprees :c It's an addiction... I need help :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombiiesque Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I go on spending sprees for spooky items and books. Not that often though - I'm saving for several paint brushes! So that's always in the back of my head. The only thing I really buy daily are codestones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week I did around 20 courses, and I earned like 250k. All were used to buy them. I hate Lu's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Charismatic Enigma Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Whenever I go on a shopping splurge on Neopets, it's during one of two occasions; daily codestones, or when it's Half Price Day. Lately though, I've been buying a lot of 1 NP items to save up for the Rubbish avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
