Has anyone ever been lucky enough to see the Smuggler's Cove restock, much less snag something?

Obviously it happens, but I'm just curious anyone's seen it happen.

[Sweeney]

Nope.
Not that I ever check.

[Elindoril]

The Cove only restocks when new items are released, other than that, it just sits there doing nothing.

[sealonfire]

When you say new items, you mean Cove specific items?

Yes, every once in a while TNT will release a new item to the cove which will start to restock, and will continue to restock until the item limit has been reached, as only a certain amount of the item can exist at once.

Though, even if a Cove item is destroyed, it doesn't seem to restock at the Cove again, which means that they are very limited, and when one implodes with an account, it's probably lost forever.

I didn't know it restocked like that. I always thought it restocked like once a few days or something. Thanks for the info though.

[sealonfire]

Ah no wonder I haven't seen it restock before.

[ShinaDutchAD]

I caught it once ages ago.

But I was such a nub then I never thought anything of it D:

[Kyuu]

You probably wouldn't have had enough dubloons (or np to buy the dubloons) to pay for the item either then.

Alas is the case.

But it really sucks that the items just disappear for good then.

They did recenelty stock. For that 9 pound coco

Yeah, though that was a few months ago, and that's the only item that stocked there.

The item isn't even that great, it does 13 icons (Mostly water), and isn't worth the price that comes with it.

Now what new items restock there? The new items in the news, or secret new items that restock without being mentioned in the news?

Unless they announce a new item in the news, nothing is restocked in the Cove.

All FAQs indicate that only 120 (or less) of an item can exist. I'm tempted to think that if an account gets frozen that it would lose its "existence" and MIGHT get restocked

It's possible, though, when the account is frozen, the item is still there, until the account is fully deleted does the item lose it's full existence and would (Theoretically) restock at the cove.

But it's rare huh? If I'm able to restock something from there, I'm most likely rich. If that's the case, even when I quit, I would rather pass the account to someone who wants to play.

Yeah, the 9 Pound Coconut sells for ~11-14 million, even though it only does 13 icons of damage, all because it's a cove item and is practically retired.

[yanks]

I stocked 4 meepapults after they were released... And sold them for like 1/4 of what they are worth now

[Tarchy]

it's rumoured that one day Neopets will stock the copyright to Neopets.com in the smugglers cove.

Would it be worth it though? if you had al the np to spend and such. Cause you must make a couple mil on some of those items.

[Elindoril]

It probably would, since the items inflate immensely after some time, so you'd make more than a few mill off of them.

[Boggart]

and how long do items even last once they're in the cove? I'm sure people probably buy it just as an investment whenever they can

[Elindoril]

I'm not certain, but when they randomly restock, they probably sit there until they are bought out, or the limit is reached.

[yanks]

From my experiences, right after a new cove item is announced, for about a week they stock somewhat often... When they do stock, they stock one at a time and are immensely profitable (dubloons cost you a couple hundred thousand, and any cove item can be sold for several million in the first week, and if you hold on to it often reaches 8 figures).. After that, you don't hear much of them stocking.

[Elindoril]

Well, they'll stop completely after their limit has been reached.
