What would you do if...

Let's pretend for a second that neopets sent out a neomail to 10 lucky users to receive a whopping 50 million neopoints, but only gave them 2 hours to spend it, and whatever was left would vanish. If you were one of these lucky users, what would your plans be? Would you be hanging out in the trading post or auctions trying to acquire your dream pet or dream battledome items, or would you be on the shop wizard buying everything you possibly could?

I would probably buy paintbrushes so I could have my dream neopet, buy some plushies for my gallery and some expensive wearables. With whatever was remaining I would buy some things for my neofriends and some other lucky people.

I already have my dream pet, and battledome is not my priority. I would buy all the books from the faerie tower (I think it is 100.000NP+1.000.000NP+10.000.000NP), then I would probably upgrade my shop, buy some items to sell in my shop. And then... I would have to decided between petpet paintbrushes and petpets for my gallery, or books to read to my pet... I would probably choose the first option and/or some of the second.

I would probably upgrade my gallery as much as I could and then mass buy red codestones to train my pet. I'd also buy the items for my gallery, but I feel that could take more than 2 hours, so the red codestones will have to do.

 

ideally, I'd just throw it all in my bank, so I can get anothe 10k+ per day in interest to get a codestone a day, but that goes against the 'rule' of the question.

After squealing like a maniac, I would sit down at my computer, crack my knuckles and go on a paintbrush buying spree. Probably codestones for training, and some pretty wearables.

 

Then I would see if I can buy ETS items to use as collateral for avatar lending. :P (Unless I can find a lender and complete the lend in less than two hours.)

I would try to buy a Thyora's Tear. If I couldn't find one, then I'd do the following (and I'd probably start while I was waiting to hear about the TT -- I wouldn't tell the seller about my time limit, and I'd have enough NP to cover the difference in the TT price even if I did some of these other things):

  • I would upgrade my gallery (it costs nearly 70k per upgrade, so I'd probably do 40 upgrades, for an extra 200 slots): ~3M
  • I would buy armoured neggs, bubbling healing funguses, red codestones, and neggs (to turn into armoured neggs), but only until I had bought up all the cheapest priced ones around (no sense in overpaying): ~5M
  • I would buy 1 item from the hidden tower (I think you can only buy 1 per day): 10-15M (I can't find my list of weapons I'd like to buy, but I think it'd be one of the ones in this range, or at the least the most expensive avatar book)
  • Try to buy a Leaded Elemental Vial
  • Make a lot of offers on new, easy-to-sell trading post lots with seemingly desperate sellers. Withdraw offers after 15-30 minutes and place on other things.
  • Spin the Wheel of Extravagance.
  • Start buying ETS items from user shops and official shops (probably quest items, in anticipation of the next Faerie Festival, though I'd try not to overpay).
  • Try to snag a few ETS (but expensive) things off the auctions once I was SW-banned.
  • Try for the button-pushing avatar until I got it (I once dropped over 200k trying to get it and failed, so this could easily be half a million NP or so... and I'd do this while waiting on trade offers, etc.).
  • While I was shopping, I'd snag presents for various friends (neggs for the one with a negg gallery, mugs/Lupe items/beverages for the one with the Lupe and potent potable gallery...)

I wouldn't donate to the Money Tree because the people who get the NP there are those with fast connections, and they already have an advantage over other players. I might give items to people who are trying to save for them (e.g., a lab map piece or two to someone who doesn't quite have enough)...

1. Buy the last stamp I need for the BD Stamp avatar (around 35 million)

2. Buy 1000 of the most expensive stocks

3. Buy items for my gallery

 

Would none of you donate to the Money Tree?!

Nope.

If you wanted to, you could.

I would buy the Faerie Tower book needed for my final item avie.

 

I would then buy a Golden Dubloon Stamp for my Sand Gallery.

 

Then I would buy a Golden Shell for my gal so she could complete her Shell Gallery.

 

With the rest I would hunt around User Shops and the TP for some good bargains and splurge on gifts for friends.

 

I would make that 50m disappear with a quickness!

 

:P

Definitely time to go to the shop wizard if that happened! I'd buy out all of the dubloons - as they are cheap at the moment, so I'd know I could make a profit on them - and anything left over would be spent on foods such as omelettes, jellies etc for my pets.

 

edit: Oh, and I'd give the Extravagant Wheel a spin to see if I could get that avatar!
