Same as spending money on a hobby.

It's a booming business though. I've seen people pay like $600-900 for a super attack pea. That is some seriously nice cash for a clump of pixels!

The one time I bought np, I bought from a trusted seller here and got frozen a week later. Being largely legit, I was really pissed because I had tons of hard to find gallery items and a bunch of pets named after actual neopian characters. I trusted them to tell me what was the safest way to transfer the money, etc. and informed them this was the first non-legit thing I would be doing and really don't want to get frozen. So, needless to say, I've been deterred from ever buying np again but I guess I have no one to blame but myself.
Just giving details of my personal experience, not trying to bad mouth anyone or NC.

Problem is, once they flag your account you are as good as frozen xD
Just be careful who you buy from.

Maybe if I'm ever in a financial pinch I'll try selling.

I would if I trusted it.

If you buy NP you should get it sent to a shell first to avoid this situation.

Its about knowing WHAT kind of items are safe to buy. Many of the common ets items you see people selling trigger automatic flags when sold irregularly. For example, the fact people still buy and sell HT Swords and GBombs is mind numbing, but those are only a few of the various items that should never be transfered illegitimately.
Oh how I've missed you.

This is something I've been largely unaware of, since most of our current NP laundering guides recommend ETS such as the HT swords for transferring. Does this only apply if you sell NPs to a large number of accounts? I can see how it'd be suspicious if you're constantly sending HT items to different accounts, but it seems the occasional gift here and there between two "legit looking" accounts wouldn't raise as many red flags. I am, of course, not an expert in these things.

And for people with 5 accounts who are 99.9% legit and don't have shells?
I also asked the seller this sort of stuff and they told me it wasn't necessary.
As I said, I trusted them since they had a high trader rating. Live and learn, still doesn't make me any less angry. Lol
