I have a couple of times, and didn't like it. TDs are (were) much more my thing.

I wouldn't count on it. If TNT released other cheap neggs for HP/Str/Maybe Level, then the price would almost certainly rise. At the moment though, things seem to be following the same slow inflation that all neggs have been following.

At the moment (For example), Green Festival Neggs are 9k a piece, and give 4 tokens at the neggery. Armoured Neggs cost 16 tokens, which is 4*9k = 36k. Even if the SW price did rise, they'd be a cheaper alternative and the market would return to equilibrium pretty quickly.

Armoured Neggs will only really go up in price if the majority of other neggs do so at the same time.

Welcome to Neocodex - I would say enjoy your stay, but it sounds like you already are

Auction sniper sounds interesting, but I just had a look now and it's not particularly helpful that the only info they give for time left is "< 30 mins"

That shouldn't be a problem if you make requests regularly enough (But not suspiciously often..). Presuming the Neopets auctions always report the correct time bracket (Eg, "< 30 mins"), you can tell when an auction will end when you catch it switch brackets. For example:

Auction ID 154902135 (Nothing special, just picked it out at random) is in the bracket "30 min - 2 hours" when you checked at 14:48. When you check at 14:49, however, it's in the "< 30 mins" bracket. You can then conclude the auction will end sometime around 15:18.

I've never tested a system like this out, but it'll work in theory. I hope.

Doesn't solve the problem is someone simply asks you a question in a thread without quoting you, so it may be easier to simply check the threads you've posted in recently manually anyway.

But as long as it's a checkbox option (I don't like getting spammed by other users' actions.. I'm looking at you, Facebook), then this sounds like a good enough idea.
