HUm, I think that it's really, really expensive, and the stuff is really rare, unbuyable.

There isn't any secret.

That shop randomly has very very expensive items in it from time to time. I don't think there are currently any items out. They range in cost from 50 dubloon coins to several hundread, depending on the item. Very often they will stock green apples in there for outrageous amounts of dubloons, they're just green apples, heh.

Usually when something new gets released it's on neopets news and announced on here.

No one knows. But I heard somewhere that it is 3 minutes past the hour when it restocks. Also 150 Dubloons for the best.

That's good to know. Whenever I go there isn't anything there, so I thought the cove only restocked when something new was released. So, the cove restocks once every hour and the highest price is 150 dubloons?

Well...I think the cove does restock in the days following after something new releases, or it'd be years before someone gets the last remaining item if they release, say, 10 of them. But now that they don't set limits on how many are released, I guess it just randomly restocks anytime...?

The maximum price is actually over 200 dubloons. Try 250 or something if you don't care which item you're getting. I once saw a Sponge Shield in there, only 5 dubloons...but I had none on me. -_-

whao, i checked out the sponge shield it's realli expensive.. hmm r u sure it was only 5dubloon? haha.. think i should try to catch a glimpse of something rsing there.. lol

The max price is actually somewhere around 550, the price of the Alien Aisha Sceptre. Most, if not all, of the items that cost more than 200 dubloons are older and probably won't be seen in the cove again though(unless someone is iced or something). Therefore, carrying at least 200 would be fine. Add another 50 dubloons if you want to have a chance at the Hammer of DEATH (250).

Once every hour? That sounds a bit too frequent. :roll:

Plus, if you go there to often, they wont let you in anymore. I've only seen green apples in there, nothing else.

An umbrella shield cost 3 dubloons and you can sell it for 1 mil nps. I must say the cheap items there are really profitable.

It's really tough to RS there, the people there will chase you away. YOu can only check the page once every 10-30 minutes I think.

Now my question: What if people get frozen when they have possession of the item? Does it return to the cove sooner or later, or will it disappear forever?

It disappears forever - when an account is frozen, the pets and items are frozen along with it.

Hm, I heard rumours that the Cove items (at least the one in limited supply, ie. 10 or 25) return to the Cove when someone's frozen. Kinda like what Senja said.

It's REALLY hard to restock there, I went tehre, and after about 5mins I refreshed, and the page came up that i cant restock there anymore because im attracting attention!
