I hit a big restock of starry green backgrounds last night in Mystical Surroundings. Out of curiosity, I bought a couple of them (heck, they were under 230 NP), and now I'm stuck with them because they are still no trade. I can't even donate them! :lol:


That stinks! Sorry about that! Why are they selling/giving away items that we aren't capable of getting rid of? That makes no sense whatsoever.

Dunno, I've always liked the starry backgrounds but been annoyed that I couldn't give my pets matching ones. So I'd be really happy to get my hands on some more Blue Starry Backgrounds. Or even green ones. All I've been snagging at the Second-Hand Shoppe is red ones, though -- not my favorite, but I'll take them.

If this is a glitch I hope it keeps up until I get a set of blue backgrounds. :-)

All the Starry backgrounds are sellable and are going for about 2000nps.

I just grabbed a blue one and have it in my shop.

I'm actually happy that they made them tradeable. I was one of the people who never got the free set. I've sent a report twice, but still they didn't appear. Now I can fix this on my own - after all, 2000 np is not a lot.

Cool! OK, I updated the list to show that.
I'm having a harder time getting what I want now, there's so many bot items that the ones I want don't show up much anymore. Ah well.

I still haven't gotten a thing! Not too good at this, I guess. :x

This is unbelievable. In 10 minutes I have gotten:

    Woolen Scarf
    Heart Shaped Sunglasses
    Censor Bar Glasses
    JubJub Coconut Watch
    Pretty Pink Flower Hat
    Lucky Red Pandaphant Doll

That isn't including the dung and potato sacks.

What's wrong with this picture?
I have NEVER gotten ANYTHING good from click-and-grabs before.
That's an INSANE amount of free, easy NP in my opinion... is this a good thing for the economy? Seems like clothing prices are going to plummet.

Well, it means you must be fast ;)

I'm not complaining about the free NPs, and it's only a short list of items that the bots hand out, so it's not actually hurting it too much. I really think this is a good thing, because it is letting at least some of the wearable items be easily attainable, and thus doesn't make it feel impossible to do anything with your pet, especially with some of the paint brushes having skyrocketed in price.

Well, as long as it's just a few items. :)
And I never thought I was that fast, but I assume it had something to do with signing on at 7 AM EST, which is pretty early in Neopets time. I was getting hits every 30 seconds or so it felt like.

Tell me about it. I started saving for an Island PB when they were 1.8 mil, thinking "dear lord I'll NEVER make a million NP!" Now that I have 1.5 mil... I'm staring at a 4 mil price tag. It will take a lot of Heart-Shaped Sunglasses to make up for inflation.
