Just on the page. I thought I had collected all 6 and not gotten the free NC, but I went back and checked each location again, and it seemed that I had gotten the "bag notification" option a few times but not had that work properly in the system.

Glad to know I'm not the only other person who does this. I checked my SBD... I have over 7000 items in there... 2000 unique. I never sell anything. Instead, it sits in my box and collects virtual dust. Even when I have quests, I don't use my SDB item - I'll buy a new one. One day, it needs to end... but I love just... hoarding... items. Never know when I might need them in the future... but since I'll buy new and keep the old anyway... kinda pointless.

I'm pretty sure there was a Dr. Phil show on hoarding :P

I seem to do the same thing. I just checked my SDB and found "only" ~5,300 items, ~2,300 unique. I buy new items for quests, too. Sometimes I'll even buy multiples if I find them cheap enough... Then I put the extras in my SDB. Maybe we could start a support group for us NeoHorders :)

:roflol:
Actually, I've discovered that hoarding on Neopets keeps me from hoarding as much in real life. :P

Back on topic: I did go ahead and buy at least one of each of the masks, since I only got one of them from opening extra purchased bags. Wish I'd bought a pretty flower mask last year, as last I checked, they had gotten close to unbuyable, if they haven't gone that route yet.

I just did the same, though I found myself wincing just paying some of the prices for them even now.

*tilts head and rolls over*

Just a question in general to these 6 bags that you could collect, whats better to do? Opening them or keeping them closed?

I wasn't online for Halloween to collect the last 3 bags. Does anyone know, if I buy the bags, can I still get the neocash? I bet I can't :(

The regular trick-or-treat bags don't give you neocash. It was the bags from the ncmall that gave you neocash... :)

Actually, the 50NC came from collecting all 6 of the regular trick-or-treat bags - you received it at the last location.

The NCMall bags gave you a free NCMall item.

Unfortunately, unless you collected all 6 bags on Halloween, you cannot get the free NC.

Hi ***,Thank you for participating in the Halloween fun at Neopets, and congratulations on collecting all 6 Halloween Goodie Bags! Unfortunately, there was a glitch which resulted in a small handful of users not receiving their free 50 NC prize. We have since rectified this issue and you'll be happy to know the 50 NC has been added to your Neocash Balance.We appologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Please enjoy your free Neocash and have fun shopping at the NC Mall!Regards,TNT


Woo-hoo! I was disappointed at not receiving my 50 NC. Thanks TNT!!!

I wish I had gotten them, but unfortunately I only just got back into neopets with my 6 and a half year old account.

So was there a chance of actually getting a Halloween paint brush from opening the bags, or was that just a possibility when you were trick-or-treating?
