Debtcollector Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Charity Corner event 12/24/2014. Thought it would be a good idea to merchant today right when the items are stabalizing like 12:00am nst, but I guess the demand is very low now? Maybe most everyone already completed their minimum of 8/17 adoptions? Maybe because the items are trash decorations and not toys? Not so sure as the items previously were pretty trashy too. Prices dropped dramatically within the first 20-30 mins, I should have sold when I saw it started dropping atleast 25% of my money I could have got back. Oh well, lesson learned. Don't merchant early, wait for the prices to stabalize... What a big risk I took lol. Come share how much you lost, if you took a chance today :P Well if anyone is feeling generous this Christmas... hint hint... XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTimeMarr Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I give away my spare items. I really don't get why people ask enormous amounts for useless crap. Pardon my French.

Debtcollector Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Well it's all about supply and demand that fluctuate the prices of these Charity corner items, the reason people "ask enormous amounts for useless crap" is because they are trying to make a profit...

Hert123 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I know a better way to losing 500k in 20 minutes! Spinning the wheel of extravagance xD Yeah, I've given up on the charity corner event. spotify95 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, then let's just say I cannot feel sorry for you. Though yeah, it is totally up to everyone to either sell and make extreme profits out of junk, but I still don't like the idea :-P chknlimbosthe1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfisher2 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I was on at midnight too, but everything UB was sold before I figured out what the items were. Luckily I had a lot of spares in my SDB. I sold them, most this morning at a 20k or so and make a 260k profit :) I was proud of myself making something off the event.

pulpfreeoj Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 the reason people "ask enormous amounts for useless crap" is because they are trying to make a profit... When the profit comes from artificially inflating junk so no one can have a chance at an exclusive item or avatar, I am gonna have to agree with everything AllTimeMarr has said. It's the risk you took and you have to live with that. I had copies of at least one of everything in my SDB today, probably sell off my extras cheaply. I'm up to 6 adopted neopians. ranga_muffin and chknlimbosthe1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfisher2 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Don't worry, the backgrounds were only UB for like a half hour or so lol. The most I sold an ink frame for was 50k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTimeMarr Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Oh, I recognize your name (or at least your brothers' name with the 1337) from UB trades on the Wocky Shirt few days ago HAHA. Your name sounded so familiar xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrtbrk Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I say good because I saw you try to extremely upsell a few times ;) Ruto and Mouseykins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brit Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 tbh I didn't lose anything. If anything I've earned about 2mil from this thing. So, I'm happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decchild Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I've lost about 101K, but I have a bunch of things for backup. I personally don't like inflating and selling things, so I try to donate extras I have to people in need. I've made the loss up in stocks and wheels, so eh. I'm not a very good capitalist.

Debtcollector Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 Yeah, I most likely made a total of around 2mill-3millnp profit during this event so far, so I'm fairly pleased with reselling. I say good because I saw you try to extremely upsell a few times ;) Hey, us poor neopians got to make money some how! =/ Seeing how keyquest is down as well as habitarium making easy money is hard when you don't got alot of np to start off...

pinkmanwhite Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I rejoined neopets just a month ago and because of this event my bank account is hurting :( pretty much lost 100k in a day! ugh, as soon as I finish the 8 days (one more tag and i'm out) I'll try to sell things to gain what i lost.
