How long does this avatar take to do legitly?
Do people actually care about / want this avatar?
Would you pay someone to get it for you (NP)? If so how much?

Just interested in seeing what kind of interest if any there is for this avatar. If there is no interest I will focus my time elsewhere.

    o3o

    1) I unintentionally got the avatar over the course of about a month, but it probably doesn't take too long to (intentionally) get, especially with neocodex's Packrat List
    2) I don't really mind, although avatar collectors probably care/want the avatar cx
    3) Not really o3o.. /pokes Packrat List again/
    I suppose people who don't feel like buying all the items themselves and/or are lazy might pay for it though :p ~

    Edit: Hurray for noticing grammar mistakes after posting as usual cX !

    I guess I was thinking of catering to the lazy. The people that dont want to spend hours clicking links (however easy it is).
    But thanks for the input. :)

    Took me 5 months of passive packratting (legitimately) to get it.
    I don't care about it since I don't need to raise my avatar count to prove myself to the big three lenders. / I'm not desperate for the avatar if I hypothetically didn't have it.
    I wouldn't bother paying others to get me this avatar since it's acquirable even to the dirt poor neopian. I'll pay -2.5 million NP for it

    I seriously wouldn't recommend anyone doing packrat services. People can just as easily use the payment for the service to buy their items. Also the site events that give out so many random junk such as the Neopies at this very moment drastically decrease the need to purchase new items and thus demand for someone else to get the avatar. Also in my opinion, this is risky a business without careful planning. Buying more than 200 packrat items in someone else's account without the necessary proxy or even transferring massive amounts of items is something that may put some risk on the both of you and the requester.

    I took less than 1 month from 300 items to 1000 items. Didn't use any list though, I was just randomly visiting 1NP sale shops from the boards.
    I wouldn't pay for something I could easily do myself, even if I'm really lazy. Also, I wouldn't risk my account for the avatar either.

    It would probably be easier if you build up accounts and sell them, if you want profit from it.

    Yeah I think I've heard enough then. Some good points I hadnt really considered here. More input is welcome, but I think I know what I need to know.

    I got it in about a month..
    With only like an hour of conscious effort.

    I'm naturally a bit of a packrat though :p
