I'm not trying to buy too many UBs in order to prevent too much suspicion. 5/6 of the unbuyables I've bought in the past few days are listed on the item database as 99,999 or 98,999 nps. These items are going for 400k to 150k on the trading post.

 

Now I have the problem of either selling them on the trading post and possibly arising suspicion or loosing out on alot of profit. I can't even select not to buy unbuyables because the database considers them buyable!

 

Sorry guys, I'm just annoyed :(

    The main reason for pricing them at 99k is in order to sell it easily.

     

    Most items from 100k~300k will sell for that.

    Anything less then 200k on the tp goes into my shop for 99k. I'm too impatient to deal with such trivial items. Chances are you bought a few if my items, I sell a lot if UBS in my shop.

    I'm legit and even I don't waste all that time on the TP for shit under 200K. Straight into my shop it goes!

    I wait a week for things under 200k. I'd rather take some time and make a 50k more than I would otherwise.

    I'm with the others - too annoying to sell via TP.

     

    And my personal experience is that before I even get it sold for >100k on the TP, it already deflated to buyable, anyway, so why waste time on it? :p

    If your TP is full with your trades, move all products that are 150-200k into the shop. Why waste space and time when TnT can just deflate one of those items out of the blue? Most of the items TnT massively deflates linger between UB's that are 100k-300k anyhow :o. Move that stuff, aint no good waiting a week when you can collect your pay out now. And retrieve that interest in the bank!

    Sometimes when I feel greedy and want more than 99k for a UB, I will toss it in auction for 99k with a 5k increment.  90% of the time I end up with 110k for the item.

    The only reason they would be in the database for 99,999 would be because that's what they're regularly selling for on Neopets. Just because people ask for 400k on the TP doesn't mean that they'll actually sell for anywhere near that price.
