indiechiquegeek Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I disappeared for a few months, and when I came back, I started noticing that dubloons in shops and trades were selling for not even half of what they were when I was last on. Did I miss something? Did the Smuggler's Cove open up while I was gone, or are people just giving up on it ever coming back? Quote
Bodhi Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I noticed dubloons are worth less now, too. I've been getting them quite frequently from Anchor Management and occasionally from Coltzan's Shrine. Perhaps that's something to do with it? mtsparky 1 Quote
charelan Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I think it's exactly what Bodhi said - they're so often prizes now that I think they just depreciated like mad... Quote
teeniem55 Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Yes, I think Anchor Management has a lot to do with the deflation. Also the pirate morphing potions. It doesn't matter to me though. I sell everything I get as a prize. Quote
christmas_tree74 Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I have noticed but I think if I keep saving that Smuggler Cove will come back and I will be able to get that pesky SUAP. lol. Quote
DesertRose Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 I usually save up the smaller dubloons to get a larger one. I'm working on getting a one thousand dubloon coin. Quote
missuninvited Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 I'm in the same boat as all of y'all too. I've been getting them way more frequently than I used to, and I don't even remember when the prices really started to go downhill. I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth, because regardless of how little they sell for it's still a profit! Just weird to see them so cheap now. Quote
mtsparky Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Somewhat related, the cost of training-dublooms, codestones, red codestones-- in general is down too. It might have to do with the battle dome being less than it was before. Quote
rntracy1 Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 I have definitely noticed the red codestones have gone down in price. As far as the dubloons go, 50 and 20 dubloon coins are being given out like candy from anchor management and coltzan's shrine, hence the drop in price. As others said, anything is still profit, but yes, they are much cheaper. Supply and demand, like every else in neopia. Treasure chests are VERY cheap now. I should have sold mine when they were going for 25,000 nps. Now you can get them for 7,000 or less. Quote
missuninvited Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Now that chests are so cheap, I'm always tempted to open mine because it doesn't seem like much of a loss. One bag of Candy Pirate Earrings later and I always regret that decision. I just know that the one day I don't open it will be the day I almost had an MP or similar! Quote
Oquendof Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 I've opened like 10 of them on the last few months, and nothing good ever comes hahahaha, on the dubloon thing, I think is because of the dailies, i find it interesting though because I wanted dubloons for my gallery, and got the 1000,200,100,50 for a very good price :) Quote
Bodhi Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Today I got D2 from Coltzan and D50 from Anchor. Quote
beenblessed40 Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Yes, I have so many 20 and 50 dubloon coins, but somehow I can never get the 5 dubloon coins I need for training. Grr... They had a rapid decrease around December, I believe, but I couldn't say why for sure. Quote
