Do people still hoard?

Before they stopped allowing 0 np items in shops and made us buy galleries I used to hoard so many things! Let's see if I can remember some of them:

Lol, and there's so much more that I could list!

 

I know for a fact that I had 3 figure sums of all the jellies and the loveberry, and probably the Illusen stuff too. I find myself wanting to collect things again now, too, even though all they'd do is clutter up my SDB. Do any of you guys give in to hoarding items? Do you have a gallery? I'm tempted to go further through the Jellyneo database and see just how many of my hoard items I can identify :ph34r:

I hoard dailies items. Everything goes straight to SDB. I used to enjoy going around and buying every single item 20np or less from shops that I'd come across. One time I had this idea to go through all of the jellyneo database and buy one of each item. I gave up on that after a week :P

Sometimes I'll look through it and see if anything of value is lost in my SDB, I once found something worth 5MIL that I didn't know I had. So that was a nice find. I think maybe at the end of this year i'll clear it out and try to get my rubbish avvie,

I used to do exactly the same thing! I think 7np was my limit, just because I like that number xD

 

What is this rubbish avatar of which you speak? :ph34r:

On my very first neopest account (I was about 5 or 6 ) I hoarded any baby food items spent over 20,000 a day on just those grub and pea flavors because I thought it was the only food you could feed a baby pet, and to have a baby pet was my dream!
My sister hoarded any gelert items, some costing millions and I remember she came home one day to my brother who was very upset with her, selling them for cheap. He donated all her toys, or sent them to random users. (That was before they had pins on things)

My sister stopped hoarding BUT I sure didn't!
I now hoard anything sparkly, or that i get from dailies. :shiftyeyes_anim:

Protect us all from little brothers >< Though why did he have access to her account D: Lesson learnt there if she'd given him her password, I guess!

 

That rainbow doughnut fruit plush is calling to me again <.< >.> I started coveting them the day we got it from the advent calendar. I like all the doughnut fruit, but rainbow and a plush too? Come on, had to collect them xD

One person's "hoarding" is another person's "saving". I don't keep everything, but I save a lot. It comes in handy for quests and some of these special events that turn cheap items into things worth thousands. A lot of us made a ton this way.

Since I 'came back' to neopets with my current account and found all these lovely dailies exist, I have basically been a hoarder. It's just easier to throw everything in the SDB instead of bothering with pricing things every day and trying to sell 1np junk, especially when its food that you could always just feed to your pets later or items that might be useful if there's an event or something.

 

Made the Charity Corner much easier, I can tell you. I'd probably have made a lot more money off that if I had a battle-ready pet and did the battledome every day. Not that I would support that ridiculous artificial inflation that was going on, mind you, that was completely uncalled-for.

 

I also have a really bad habit of buying cheap things I see that I like and have no use for and throwing it into my SDB, especially toys or particularly pretty food. Once I sought out and bought a Pretty Pink Wocky Tea Set even though I have NO use for it at all.

Since NP is (unfortunately) not real money, (I know, shocking isn't it :laughingsmiley: ) all this site is is a visual experience. You SHOULD like pretty things you see here and try to have at least one to look at. I do the same. "Use" isn't the point. Eye candy is. :icecream:

I still pretty much hoard up everything I get my paws on. Daily items, random events, shop things that catch my eye and I don't have the willpower to keep myself from buying. Yeah, everything goes to my SDB. Then on occasion I get antsy and clear all multiples out.

OH! So that's what the rubbish avatar is, I'd seen people talking about it but I didn't know what it was. What's the point of the obsidian, is there one? Or is it just one of those pointless things that people keep just in case it becomes vitally important one day, and the people who saved it will become Obsidian Magnates and sell their stash for millions xD

You're right, Lake, eye candy totally is the point, pretties just for the sake of being pretty =3 So much of the food looks so yummy, but that's a subject for a whole new thread I think xD

Neon, will power be , buying cute things on Neo is a guilt-free shopping fix, so spend those NP and smile :D

It's part of a quest in Moltara. which you can complete to make certain petpets.

Oh cool, I glad there's a reason for it, I've not looked into so many things on Neo, so I didn't know about that quest, something else to investigate!

After the latest major site event (Charity Corner) I have decided to start hoarding cheap items in my SDB again, just in case there is a similar event and the prices rise beyond all sense again. At least this way I will hopefully have some of the items required and not have to spend too much of my hard earned wealth.

Hoarding? What's that? Is it some sort of food?

 

Yes, yes it is, and very tasty it is too. Also, calorie free!

Now that I completed the SDB pack rat avy I think I'm gonna start hoarding for the rubbish avatar. I remember that in my original account I had SO many items in my SDB :sad02: I miss it.

 

Getting the rubbish avatar isn't as hard as you might think.

It just takes time.

Go for all the 1 Np items you can get, and make sure you get 10 items a day from the Money Tree.

Keep an eye on trades, because some people have trades just for people who are collecting junk for one reason or another.

i only used to hoard for the packrat and rubbish avatar.. completed both and cleaned out my sdb right before the Coincidence, just my luck, right?! i didnt bother to hoard after that, and what a hard lesson learned when you fast forward a little more than a year to Charity Corner.. from now on, i have decided for sure and for certain to hoard!

 

i have a weird amount of mint chocolate kacheeks because i thought the price would go up when they were released as a prize, and its gourmet, but no, the new restocking system changed all that so the price will not rise now.. i just leave them in the sdb in case it retires one day.. same story with The History Of Meridell book..

 

also, i hoard rollerblades and broken rollerblades in honor of my dead boyfriend.. he had been rollerblading for about 20 years..

 

all 1 np items i see in shops now go into my sdb, and sometimes anything 5 nps and below.. i never sell anything in my shop for less than 5 nps as a firm rule from now on.. i even hoard stamps in case one of them retires!

 

Items: 3,500 | Qty: 19,242 this is my current count from the sdb..

Gah- i cleaned out my SDB right before the charity corner. It was so sad.
