Angeló Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 when you clean out your inventory .. do you donate the items to the money tree or discard them ? i personally discard all junk ... and only donate items worth around 200-500 np (some esophagor quest prizes) to the money tree ... junk is hugely reproduced on a daily basis (imagine how many people play tombola and fishing etc) and we don't need anymore of those items cluttering up the money tree and the shops , trading post etc ... what about you ??

Gammarax Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I donate. For myself, I personally go to the MT to get junk when I've run out of items to use for bidding in trades. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lydia Trebond Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 If it's food, I donate it. If it's not, I usually just discard, though I sometimes shove a few things in my shop. I discovered that people do buy 1 np items, and it's 1 np more than I would have if I had just left the shop space empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedhaun Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 For me, I just discard all of my useless prizes I get from the dailies. It just sickens me to see all of that junk cluttering the Money Tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anamainiacks Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I always donate, though I never really clear my inventory like that. Never know when stuff may come in useful. And it was good to chuck it in my SDB en route to getting the avatar (: Like Gammarax said, they're useful for bidding on trades. And part of the fun of the Money Tree is just in getting an item, after all... :P At least for me it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vocaloid Marshmallow Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I do both. Whatever my mouse goes over first will be clicked but I like donating better and I mostly donate. Only when I'm too lazy I do both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Darkest Faerie Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I tend to donate, mainly because it's the first option I see. Mostly though I go to trades and put them up and wait for offers. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noog Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I always donate somewhat useful junk, like KQ prizes that I have 5 of but a newbie might not have. If it's something like a shoe from underwater fishing then it's discarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I generally donate. Some people enjoy getting junk from the tree (like my husband, though I don't know why) or they need items for the Pack Rat or trades. I rarely discard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Fever Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I usually donate everything I don't need that I don't consider worth anything. One person's junk is another's treasure (or perhaps food stock if you have a Grarrl, Skeith or Jetsam. lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I donate, might help someone get pack rat etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piticent Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I rarely discard...I mean, its not like rotting driftwood is gonna inflate b/c everybody is discarding it :) fishing junk is fishing junk :P Though the reason I donate is because I kind of agree with some people that people shouldnt just get awesome items for free. If I was gonna give away a PB, it deeply discount it @ TP, but not give away for free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpinksugarxprincessx Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I tend to discard things like fishing junk just because I tend to wait until I have a lot of it before I do anything about it so I don't want to clutter the Money Tree. I donate anything worth more than a couple np. Or sometimes put it in my shop. While emptying out my SDB from packrat, I made quite a bit of points just selling everything for a few neopoints.

Alberto of Meridell Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Usually I just sell everything.... :P But if I had to choose, I'd probably donate, so the items are kept in circulation (and, therefore, prices down!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrin of Neopia Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I like donating, personally. I have fun just getting stuff from the Money Tree &, as others have said, I'll use junk items for bidding or sell in my shop to help those going for the Packrat avvie. I don't see the point in discarding it because it was given/won by me (virtually) so maybe someone else can win too, even if it is junky or cheaper than other things.

Cornflakes Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I tend to discard things like fishing junk... I don't want to clutter the Money Tree. I donate anything worth more than a couple np. Or sometimes put it in my shop. ^ This. I used to donate all my junk until someone brought it to my attention that it's a really jerky thing to do.

FluffeeBunny Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Most occasions I'll just stuff it in my SDB, but if my whole inventory is filled with junk, I usually donate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Girl Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I'll discard all the crap I get from Underwater Fishing, but other than that I usually donate everything ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcoolb Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I always deposit. It can go towards the Pack Rat Avatar, and it doesn't go to the MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
behati Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 i would donate because when i got my packrat avatar, i wasn't about to discard my items incase someone else wanted to get the packrat avatar too. So i just mass donated about 800 items xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureTXTurkey Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I donate anything that could be even slightly useful. I try to remember that there was a time when I was a beginner and anything I could get my hands on was worth it. I mean now that I am a veteran player I wish the money tree was so cluttered with junk, but I remember how my shop use to mostly sell one point MT junk. You never know when someone is starting a gallery or picking up a new hobby. It may seem like junk to us, but books, food, weapons, stamps, etc. Can really help new players, and of course like other people said, the pack rat avatar is impossible without MT junk. I actually wrote an article in The Neopian Times that is very relevant to this subject, if anyone cares to read it: Secrets of the Money Tree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anime Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I usually discard totally useless items (like fishing junk and the Tombole "gift" items) and gross food, but I donate things that a newbie may find useful- plushies, cheap toys, some food.

rachiee Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I'm one of those people who likes to donate stuff. If I do, I donate things like Petpet lab map pieces, TDMBGPOP prizes and random useful stuff like omelettes. I rarely ever discard stuff unless it's random (and usually useless) crap like obsidian, fishing prizes, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I usually put my stuff in free trade. Minor healing potions, omlettes that I don't use, basic weaponry, even seaweed. I just put "free trade" in the wishlist and accept the first offer I get (or the best offer in cases where people bid at the same time and I end up with 3 offers by the next page refresh). Even if they offer a single junk item, I'd rather have 1 junk item than 10. And some people specifically collect junk. Don't know why, but I've met them :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkie Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I usually donate food items and stamps etc but discard junk items from fishing etc. I like to think someone may be able to use some of the items I donate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
