if you go to bd chat or trade chat right now there are alot of users asking for you to tower something for them and paying 50 to 100k on top of the tower price for certian items! its even better if you already have the item. make sure and neomail them first to see what they need. just a heads up as once the news is posted and the hidden tower is updated im sure this will change. everyones just trying to get ahead before ( and if!) a ht item retires!

I did this for someone actually. Any idea why this is going on? I am never on Neopets so I am never up to date with the happenings of Neopia.

or get the items for yourself and make even more profit if they retire

every year on fyora day, one item that's sold in the hidden tower is supposed to retire. last year it was a snow faerie doll ~ not sure if that's the correct name. 

last year it was a few days later though, so it might be the same this year.

when the item retires, the price skyrockets, generally a lot for the first few days until it settles down at a lower price but still far greater than the original selling price before it retired. people make profit by buying however many HT items they can afford so they can sell them off later and make a lot of profit if any of them retire.

Have they said they will be retiring items or do items always get retired at this time of year or what?

I'm not sure if it's directly stated anywhere but one item is supposed to retire on Fyora Day every year, or around that time as I guess was last year's case.

Thanks for this! 

 

I know if I had enough to cover the baseline to invest as these people are doing I probably would.

Good move for them I guess. I will stick to Abrosia to making NP haha.

some of the items these users want are only 800k like sunshine shield or ilhere doll, and its a pure gamble on what items will retire. some years no items retire! just for the 100k i towered a lord darigan plushie and sold it for asap so... you never know!

[Nikiforov]

woah, i never knew about the retiring thing- thanks for the heads up! this post is a little old but maybe i'll go check and see if anyone is still buying, would love to make some fast profit xD

keep checking the bd chat, until the news comes out and its confirmed that an item has been retired or wont be users will keep trying to buy mass items. most of them that are overpaying are the younger accounts that have tons of np but cant yet tower.

Thanks for this, I forgot that Fyora Day was happening soon. I will probably invest in some HT items.

[pistola]

not a single thing retired and they didnt introduce any new ht items. super lame.

It'll be lame if it doesn't happen by the end of the week. TNT has been known to be late for these kinds of things
