On March 20th, for Gadgadsbogen TNT introduced some new fruits. They also usually retire some fruits when they introduce new ones, but this year they forgot to retire some of the older fruits. However, recently they finally got around to retiring them. This year 7 new fruits were introduced and 7 of the older fruits were retired. I will list them here with some important information regarding the fruits so you can determine whether you want to invest in them or not. They usually aren't that great of an investment, but if you have extra neopoints lying around might as well throw a couple thousand neopoints into these fruits and see what happens. Hope this helps!


The format will be as follows:

Item name (old rarity before retirement) - Price before retirement -> Price as of original post -> Current price

Stramberry (r89) - 4500 NP -> 10000 NP -> 75000 NP
Tangleberry (r87) - 3300 NP -> 10000 NP -> 50000 NP
Vinberry (r85) - 2000 NP -> Unchanged -> 2600 NP
Grunion (r79) - 2300 NP -> 8000 NP -> 10000 NP
Puchini (r75) - 1400 NP -> Unchanged -> 1500 NP
Grondik Root (r69) - 100 NP -> Unchanged -> 200 NP
Slugroot (r47) - 1300 NP -> 1500 NP -> 1600 NP

I have 1 of every tropical fruit in my safety deposit box since I know there is a chance they will retire on Gadgadsbogen. So I kept checking back on them to see which ones retired. After I found out which ones retired I used the Neocodex + Jellyneo databases/price histories to figure out the rest of the info

[NaMasTe]

thanks alot for the info and the time you put in

lol stocked 230+ Grondik Root xD raised the price only upto 130 LOL.. 30nps increased.. the Super Shop Wiz is bugged.. it kept taking me back to 100 when I thought 100 was done.. for a longgggg time :\

[Spirited]

Thanks, I bought one of each fruit. xD

Stramberry (r89) - 4500 NP -> 10000 NP
Tangleberry (r87) - 3300 NP -> 10000 NP
These have doubled in prices

The rest have also increased slightly.

Thanks for the heads up. I updated the original post with current prices on the shop wizard so you all can see how much the prices have changed in the past 13 hours

[Icey Defeat]

Investing in some that I'm finding cheaper than they should be. Thanks

[cornymikey]

just bought a bunch of fruits. Thanks for the info! : D

[Obit]

brought quite a few vinberries so thanks for the info

[Icey Defeat]

If only one of these was rarity 90. Ugh.

[Steve]

Well, hopefully buying 2 Grunions @ 20k/ea pays off.
I'm buying Puchini for 1800 - 2000 right now...
Then again I don't have SSW

[Icey Defeat]

Grunions are up to 10k? Sweet.

I can't believe they retired the stramberry, is one of the most known! They should retire the meals containing stramberry aswell, there's no point on keeping them.

Thanks for the update, seems like they've gone up quite a bit since the original post. Hopefully you all made some profit

[shrouded]

4.5k each to 99k each in a matter of 3 days. Someone out there made a lot of NP if they bought 300k or so of them at around 6k.

[Nonexistent]

Yes, now it's a question of whether other people would want to buy the retired fruits that really have no purpose

People like to have galleries of retired items.
I bought 3 grunions for 20k, 20k, 25k.
Keeping one in my SDB, and have the rest set @ 95k. I'm worried about what will happen after they become UB.. whether people are gonna start mass selling them or not.

Gunions are up to 75k
Puchini are 3k
Slugroots are 2k

[zryii]

Shit I'm glad I invested in these when I did. Possibly made 1.5+ mill in 4 days

[Icey Defeat]

The bubble is going to burst, fast. No one is going to sit on impossible to sell unbuyables. Sell yours at 99k while you can. They will go back down in price again.

[Steve]

Does anyone know what happened to previous retired fruits?

[Yung]

Yeah, they were retired.

[Icey Defeat]

Yeah, they were retired.

Sergeant Richard over here.

[Steve]

Yeah, they were retired.

Ahh yah good one. I was thinking more on topic, price wise, you know.
Don't gotta be a smart ass about it

[Strategist]

I love how Yung seems to think he's being funny......


Honestly, why would you guys even bother with retired fruits. I guess if you're a patient enough reseller then go for it, but being very HTS shit, I wouldn't bother.
