My Neopet Account is worth...

$29.99 according to Neopoint Deals  :o

 

Seriously though, after being away for 4 years from my neopets account, the day I came back I noticed that my gallery and sdb items were in my inventory. That was weird, but I assumed that it was just a neopets glitch that caused items to be moved there since nothing was actually taken from my account. 

 

A week later, as I was browsing that Neopoint Deals, I saw an account being sold as a "Trophy Main" that had all the same items, trophies and neopets as me. *cough cough* not legit trophies *cough*

 

Well it was shocking, so I hastily changed my password and email. Even then, my account remained on sale on the site for over 2 weeks. I just checked again today and it's finally removed.  :lol2:

 

It's oddly relieving and disappointing that no one actually brought my account in the years that I was gone though, its not good enough for people to fork $30 for it.  :(

 

So, I'm just kind of curious if this type of thing happened to any of you guys.

 

 

To clarify: No, I was not the one that placed my own account on sale if that wasn't already completely obvious. It was accessed by a third party that attempted to profit from it.

    Yeah, this has actually been known for some time it seems: Neopoints Deals sells stolen accounts.

    That's partly why I buy only from Codex (well, not that I've bought a lot or anything :p). The sites might not be very reputable, you never know where the items have been even if they don't actually scam you, and in any case the prices are jacked up from what you get on cheating forums.

    Yea, I knew about that they stole accounts, was just surprised to see my own for sale up there. 

    Just an entertaining story I thought I'd share. Wasn't really attached to the acc since I've spent less than 3 months working on it before leaving for 4+ years. 

     

    As you said the prices are pretty insane. $14 for 5 million?!? Who buys this? I would gladly sell 5 million for $5 or less.

    Ah, I seee! And, a lot of people do actually, people rather new to cheating and who have the money, willingness, and lack of knowledge about the cheating scene.

    Indeed, before knowing of the trading forums of the cheating scene, I actually seriously contemplated buying some BD items from sites myself actually. Thank god the prices still seemed too expensive even when on sale, leading me to find alternatives instead. :p
