kikaown Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 On a spur of the moment decision, I bought a full lab map set from the TP for 670k, which I think is a pretty good price. However, its a lot of money, and its more than I've ever spent at one time before. I could resell it easily, get my money back. It cost about a fourth of everything I own on Neopets, including items, shop upgrades, etc. (not counting what I lost about a year ago). So my question is, should I put the map together now, because prices will probably rise in the future? Or should I resell it and wait for a while? Also, did I horribly overpay for the map (that's what I'm afraid of)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zac Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Ive seen map sets go for about 500K at the least...I think you got it at about the average price if not a littel more. Definately use it!....its so fun! *runs in circles* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzz Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 You got a moderate price for it. It is up to you to decide how much having painted pets means to you. It is the definetly the cheapest way to paint pets. I would keep it but once again its up tp you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ne0pets22 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 wait, store it in your sdb, forget about it, then, when you decide to look in you sdb, you find an incredibly high priced map. i should know, the full set only cost a couple thousand when i started playing (6 years ago) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikaown Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 Unfortunately, I'm not going to forget about my SDB for a while, at least until I get the avatar. In another 300 items, I will clear the whole thing out, find it, and then want to do something with it. I can't stand to have items just lying around there. I'm finding lots of people who are interested to buy for more than what I paid, but I'm still hesitant to sell. I don't want to have to buy it in a few years when it costs 200k-300k per piece.

Xepha Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Personally, I don't like the map. It is very random and lower your pet defense... If you collect avatar, you can add one to your collection (and an other one if you get the petpet lab)... But I still belive the map is a big waste of nps XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy ♥ Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Well, its certainly gone up a lot in the last year or so! I paid 470k for mine just over 12 months ago lol You said you've got people who will pay more than you did for it now so... why don't you sell it to them at a profit and then just slowly get the pieces for your own set cheaper individually?

kikaown Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 Well, its summer, and I have time to earn back the money. I have seen prices rise dramatically in the past few days, and I didn't really get cheated. I think I'll go use it. I have to do something with the money I earn. And its only a slight profit, maybe a day or two's work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzz Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 There we go. Using the ray is really fun. You wont be sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ne0pets22 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 i know, it has a higher chance of being good than bad. ok... you need a method of storing it away for long enough to let the map prices multiply... how about sticking them in your gallery?

Yixzy Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Well, I think 670K is good, when I got mine about a month ago, I got it for 690K, which was the cheapest I could find... I think you should use it, yeah, it can do bad things (like change a kougra into a buzz :O) but it also can give you colors that would have to save up loads for or something (like changing that buzz into Island :O) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uber Computer Geek Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I've had my Lab Map a little over a month now, my pet still hasn't changed colors but It will definetly be worth it, You could have your pet painted fire, then silver, then grey; and if you payed 670k then you just saved a lot of money. But some people don't like it because of the randomness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Me doesn't like the randomness... I only use it for my guild adoption agency, and it takes ages to get a good change that people are interested in... I had grundo changed into quiggle... or other specie changed in skeith or grarrl... how sexy? Actually, I kept the grarrl because he turned darigan, and they are the only cool looking grarrl XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ne0pets22 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 its more likely going to stat change you, and your bank manager will love you for waiting and selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met a user who had a lab pet ( a pet only for the ray) and every time she the pet changed she put that change on the pets page the user name is _light2pink_.

RukarioBomb Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I've had the Lab Ray for over a year now, and I log all my changes. It definitely shows gain. And, like Buzz said, it's a heck a lot of fun. :woot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeseStorm Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 wait, store it in your sdb, forget about it, then, when you decide to look in you sdb, you find an incredibly high priced map. i should know, the full set only cost a couple thousand when i started playing (6 years ago) I, too, have been playing for 6 years (on my current account.. technically next month, but my first one was hacked and that was made about 2 months previous to the one I use now). I remember when I thought it was expensive to get the few map for about 10K. lol. (I bought mine for 97K before it jumped in price-lucky me) I'd say to use it... /shrug I mean, what else would you get with all the nps you'd have? I've been saving my nps for forever and I never buy anything, lol. It really doesn't make sense. Have fun, take a chance. You can always find new ways to get nps.
