Thank You for my Skates
You're really generous and amazing

Today's October 9th, and you know what that means? It's Leif Erikson Day! Hinga Dinga Durgen!
Quick info from TimeandDate.com:


Here's a relevant clip from the SpongeBob SquarePants episode Bubble Buddy, where most people have heard of Leif Erikson Day in the first place. It's not a made up holiday contrary to what the narrator said from the start of that very episode, but it isn't a federal holiday either sadly.
 

Hopefully I'm all caught up now! I've done my best to take requests in the order they were made, and to ensure that everyone got at least one of their requested items. The list has been updated to show just the remaining items - I still have plenty of gift boxes, so leave a comment if you'd like something (even if you've already requested, everything must go!). 🙂

The dress has gone, but the staff is yours!

Don't worry about making a trade, I just want to clear out my SDB! I won't use these items now, so I wanted them to go to someone who'd appreciate them. Thank you for the offer, though!
 
Nothing in particular, I'm just not really using NC items any more, and wanted to clear my SDB out (inspired by CC). Your item should be with you now!

It's simple - I have an assortment of NC items to give away, and 89 70 gift boxes galore!. Reply in the comments if you'd like an item (or two, or three!). I'll check back regularly, and cross items off the list as they go.

Thank you! I’ve been after the Merridel background in particular for quite a while, but every time I’ve spotted it on a trade list it either gets grabbed by someone quicker than me or they aren’t going for custom and my trade list doesn’t interest them.
Thank you again!!

Hello all, I have another school project I am doing. I have a small survey. There are 10 questions. It will take less than 1 minute to complete, and it is completely anonymous. 
This time it is a few questions focused toward being online. 
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7PQ7V97
 
Last time you all did so great with helping me. I really appreciated it! 
Thanks so much ?
 
❤️

Thanks for the help, guys! It's still throwing a tantrum in Chrome, but is now working in Edge. I can update my lists, hoorah!

Try https://items.jellyneo.net/ and see what happens.   It is working fine for me. 

It's working fine for me too, hopefully it was just throwing a strop for you and it's ok now.

Hey, TNT, do none of you knit?????
The Xweetok granny is knitting *sideways* according to the way the stitches are drawn.
Just had to get that off my neurotic chest . . .

18 new Altador Cup team avatars have been released today! It appears your avatar will be unlocked randomly after reaching Rank 1 for your respective team.
These avatars are temporary and only available during the duration of the Altador Cup.


 
 

I chose Roo Island because I liked the team colours, and because Blumaroos are one of my favourite pets. I'm not concerned with my team's ultimate ranking, since prize points are only determined by the number of games I play personally. 
It's all about having fun and sticking by my team for me. ?

Well, if you've already bought NC items from the mall and used gift boxes to send them to friends, then you know the absolute basics. Still, here is TDN's very introductory guide to the NC world: http://thedailyneopets.com/customization-wearables/trading/. Particularly useful is the "commonly used trading lingo" section. 
For a guide more specifically about NC trading, check out this petpage: http://www.neopets.com/~luculla. That should tell you pretty much anything you need to know. Of course, you can only learn so much from reading. Once you've familiarized yourself with the general idea and most of the terms, then go ahead and try making a trade. It'll become clearer once you've actually done it. 
To answer your other specific questions...
Is it all just a long process of contacting people one by one to see what they want for each item or is there a site comparing asking prices?
Check out http://www.neopets.com/~rheet and http://www.neopets.com/~waka, which are both NC value guides. These pages give the value of all (or most) NC items in terms of GBCs. Most trades are for items worth roughly equal amounts of GBCs. Of course, the value can differ from person to person depending on if they are particularly attached to a certain item and reluctant to trade it, or really want an item you have and willing to offer higher than its actual value to get it. If you have a trade in mind, you can suggest it to the other person, and they'll either accept or decline. If you don't have a trade in mind, you can just say what you're looking for or what you're willing to offer, and have the other person tell you what they want to get or give in exchange. 
I'm also wondering if anyone has had good luck using NC to get an item they thought would be worth more later and then successfully trading for something of higher value than the NC they spent for the original item.
Personally I don't have experience with this, although obviously some items do end up being worth much more than the original NC they were purchased for. An example of this is Armin's Collectors Contacts, which seem to have become very popular immediately after they were released. However, my advice would be not to spend NC on anything unless you actually want it for yourself. Since you are spending real money, I wouldn't recommend trying to 'invest' in something that may or may not increase in value. 
Also, is it possible to use Neocash to get an NC item in a trade, such as offering 100 NC in a gift box? I'd like to get NC back for some items that I don't want, if possible.
Unfortunately, no. The closest thing to this is offering a 'custom' as part of a trade, which means that the person offering the custom will buy specific items currently available in the mall in exchange for an item that the other trader has. So you couldn't give someone an item in exchange for actual NC, but you could ask them to buy you something from the mall that you want, instead of asking for an item they already have. But be sure to only do this if they've already offered to do a custom trade. It would be pretty rude of you to ask them to spend real money if they didn't offer first. 
Like I said, the fastest way is to learn by doing. It can be nerve-racking, especially when you first dip your toe into those fast-moving NCC boards. But be brave, and you'll figure it out. Most traders are very nice. And I'm sure other TDNers will have more advice for you too! 

We have a new club!! You guys are freaking amazing!! <3

Once again, I'm finding myself needing to replace our Club for lending. A notice will be posted when it's available to be requested again.

Dear TDNF family 
i entered darkinvention in the Beauty Contest as a Green Kiko ... 
this is my first time drawing a neopet and first time drawing anything other than doodles and page corner decorations in a long , long , long , time ...
when i was a kid i used to love drawing dinosaurs and dragons , and sometimes caricatures (with a funny caption) but no one encouraged me to draw , they all said i can't draw and i better move on to other things , like writing and sports , which i eventually did ...
anyway , if you like him , and i hope you do , and you'd like to help me out ... i'd love to get some votes from you to beat the other Kiko for a Gold Trophy  i'll be so ever grateful
