ive been saving up for the lap maps for about 2 monthes and ive managed to buy 5 of the 9, would it be more cost effective for me to buy the remaining 4 as a trade lot of just look for them seperately as i have been so far? all the lots i see seem to be super highly priced 800k plus baby pb for example, theres no way i can afford that is that normal price of sumone just bein greedy?

It's always cheaper to buy the pieces individually

But people (like me) are lazy

A whole set averages about 1.1-1.2 mil (it's usually cheaper to pay in pure then ETS)

If you already have 5 of the 9 pieces, then it's definitely easier just to pick off the pieces one by one.
If you're patient (unlike me), just try scrounging the TB/Auction for a cheap one.

I find that this site is pretty helpful:
http://sunnyneo.com/lab_map_prices.php

It has individual prices - so you can figure out what you have/what you need/what prices you should be paying

Good luck!

[Gee]

If you're patient, buy them individually.
Unfortunately people are greedy but what can you do? If you're impatient you could buy the whole set for what, 1.2 mil now? Back then it was 800k a few months ago lol.

Just scroll through the trade until you see individual lots of the piece you want and pay them the price they ask.

It's about 1.4-1.5m for whole set now. Greedy people. I got my set by purchasing them individually for 800k.

as said above definetly buy all together.. but personally i dont use mine anymore, its not as good as its made out to be. the un even stats just werent working

[Chase]

darn. i always thought that the lab ray was useless.

sold away all my maps a few months back, including the more expensive ones. lol.

oh well.

[Milodar]

I remember a year or two ago it used to be so much cheaper... Every single piece was buyable, the total had to come out to like 300k-500k. Not sure how it inflated this much.

To answer your question, just buy them individually. It's not hard, and won't take long if you have the money.

I don't remember how much it was when I started playing, but you would probably be very jealous lol. I remember Rainbow PBs and Hypno Helmets (changed to H4000 Helmets) were both like 20k

[jc690]

^ this.
try sniping them on tp and auctions. if you're good it'll be atleast 500k-600k+ for whole.
if you wait long enough should take ~week. You'll get it by then.

[Scot]

not so secret anymore now is it?

[Mishelle]

It's crazy that they cost so much now. When I bought mine it was only $500k. It's not even worth 1.5 mil.

[flashraven]

Normally I will wait for RE to get one of the expensive map pieces i.e. #5 or #1, and then open a trade in TP to exchange them for a few cheaper ones. Wouldn't really go all out to get them. They aren't that great to begin with.

[dfoaiu]

Does anyone have any idea why the price inflated so much?

[Ozonewolf]

I bought mine when the price was at its max but for about 300k cheaper. Now the price has gone down to like 1.1 - 950k
