Valentine Sidebar Question

[varii]

I have the MVC in my SDB, technically, I know how to get the sidebar.

But I just realized I'm going to be on a plane to Germany late Feb 13, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to access neopets on the 14th. My question is If I give it to someone through trades pre-Vday, and have them send it to me on the 14th ..do I have to ..acknowledge that I recieved it on the actual day, or will I automatically get the sidebar just because someone sent it to me on the correct day?

Hmm, maybe the better question would be whether or not I can access the internet from my plane....*goes off to check*

No, you don't have to acknowledge it in order to get the sidebar. However, you need to make sure that the sender doesn't already have the sidebar and that it is sent on Valentines Day (according to Neopian time). Then, as soon as the sender sends the card to you (as a gift from the drop down menu), the card goes *poof* (meaning that it never shows up in your inventory), and both of you get the sidebar.

On Valentines Day, (February 14) you can send A Mysterious Valentine Card to someone. Both you and the recipient will get the sidebar, although they will not know about it unless they go to change their current sidebar.

Ok, thank you that helped a lot.

This was posted last year around this time. I thought it might be a good idea to post it, since Xena clearly spelled out each scenario.

Just a reminder for people ... on proper use of the V-day Cards.

There are 4 cases.

1) Both people already have the sidebar.

When you send the card to them ... nothing happens. They just receive the card in their inventory.

2) The sender already has the sidebar, but the receiver doesn't have it.

Again ... the receiver will *not* get the sidebar. They will just receive the card in their inventory.

3) The receiver already has the sidebar, but the sender doesn't have it.

In this case ... the sender *will* get the sidebar ... the card never shows up at the receiver ... and the card goes poof and disappears. This is not the general way you should go about getting the sidebar.

4) Neither the sender nor the receiver have the sidebar.

Best case scenario. In this situation ... *both* the sender and the receiver will end up with the sidebar. The card goes poof.

Just a helpful hint to help you maximize your sidebarness.

I'd like to emphasize that the reciever will get no warning of the recieval and will never know who it is from. Good communication and double checking to see if the sender and the reciever both do not have it will save a lot of NP.

As Neopets is currently down right now, so I can't check.. do you know roughly how much one of the cards costs?

On the Trading Post, they're anywhere from 180,000 to 400,000. Most are between 200,000 and 250,000.

Way to much thats for sure, last time I checked they were unbuyable, but last year after they started releasing them the price went down to 50-60k

Don't pay that much though. Last year they were flooding the gift shop on Valentine's Day and prices dropped to around 50k, iirc. They might even have been cheaper.

[stampsyne]

I expect TNT to flood the Gift Shop with them in the days before Valentine's day, like last year, to thwart would-be hoarders.

The Mystery Island gift shop or the neopian gift shop?

Alright. Thanks Kcharles. I now know what shop to watch.
