I noticed that an item in the database is priced incorrectly - it says that the item, Seaweed Rock Stick, is worth 11k np when it's really worth 1k np. It says it was repriced today. I don't see a way of reporting an incorrect price and couldn't really find anything in a forum search. Maybe I don't get the option because I'm new to this forum, but so is the user that edited the price.

I think that the prices of buyable items (less than 99,999 NP) are automatically corrected, so there's no need to worry about that - just give it some time.

 

If you wanted to report a mispriced unbuyable, however, you could post it on this thread

 

Edit: (someone correct me if I'm wrong?) ONLY Advanced Members can manually reprice items. Non Advanced users contribute through running the Autopricer / posting on that thread?

Yep. Your right. Even advanced cannot change prices in the range of 1 - 99,999 neopoint items. The autopricer does that. It happens.

Give it a couple of days to correct any prices that may be out of whack. It generally catches up quite quickly though.

It's caused by the way Neopets returns shop wizard results, if you trying looking at the shop wizard results for that item yourself you can see that sometimes it shows the lowest prices at around 1k and others it shows them at 90k+. We catch the vast majority of outliers like that but in very rare situations they conspire to get through and cause this. It should fix itself in the next day or so when more information has been collected.

It's actually anyone with 500+ posts that can edit the prices of Unbuyable items. You don't have to be Advanced/+ you just have to be active.

Ah, that's interesting! Thanks for telling me

I just checked and it looks like the price has been fixed automatically in our database . Pretty interesting graph that this item has -- outliers sneak in once in a while .
