Neggery Worth It?

I'm stocking Neggs.. So I'm wondering if I trade neggs at the neggery if it would be worth it? I've seen screen shots (James :*) of trades totaling well over 200+/500+/1mil+ NP profits.. So in this neo-economy, would it be worth to trade for profits?

[quote=evilbluemunkeyz]I went and did the math for conversions and with the amount it would take to get the points and then if you sold them for 200k which is what TP says right now you'll get an 11k profit for each one. And for me I don't see the time involved just buying all the neggs being worth it, but if they inflated more - maybe. http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=evilbluemunkeyz[/quote] You have an error in your math. You may make the 1st one for 189k, but you sure won't make the 2nd one for that price. Nor the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and by the time you make 10 then it'll cost you 200k to make it. ------------------------------- See my new screenie petpage?

once you buy 126 tokens worth in neggs, the price will be a little higher the next time you go buy. If you made 10 sneggs (1260 tokens).. the 10th snegg will cost more to make than the 1st one since your grabbing from the cheapest up. ------------------------------- See my new screenie petpage?

[quote=Soldier][quote=TKDJamesPakTKD]That truly depends on you. There were sellers that were producing sneggs when they were 230k a few weeks ago. Deflation ate them up and prices now are 200-205k. You have to know who is feeding and what the demand is before you jump into it. But that you need to figure out ;) You also have to consider what the costs are to train stats at the secret ninja school and put it against the cost of stat booster neggs to see if it will be worth it for the customers. blahblahblahblah .. and I guess you may need a bit of luck ;) unless if you have tens of millions of NPs to catch the deflating neggs, because remember neggs can be given out at any moment, advent, tarla(she gave away some negg like a week ago), easter, etc.etc. prizes.. so there are risks involved :D :D --btw i did not proof read this ------------------------------- See my new screenie petpage?

[quote=angel_shortcake]I tried it too, but the profit is too little for the amount of time, so profit from my shop is much better. Also, the neggs deflate and you lose nps, and the demand isn't as high as the supply so you're more likely to lose out. I ended up selling mine for a loss then quit negging.[/quote] But you always negg Kimmie.

It can be worth it, if you have time and NP to invest. You wont be able to make a lot of neggs in the neggery in one day, not if you want to make profit. Sneggs seem the most popular for profit, so I will use them as an example. For the past few week, the average cost of 1 negg token point, has been ranging from 1500NP-1600NP+. For a snegg, that means 189k-200k+ cost to make. The TP price also has been fluctuating, with 200k being the low side, and 210k being average. In a 24 hour period, the price of Negg, Purple/Icy/Cookie Negg, Lime, and Lemon/super icy will vary. I'll leave it up to you, to determine what hours of the day, the cheapest prices can be found. This is where patience is key. To profit, you need to buy the neggs to make the snegg, the cheapest you can find them. Paying more than 1500 per negg token point, is about pointless. On a good day, I can snipe enough to make a snegg, at the cost of about 160-170k. The key, is all of those people that play KeyQuest. So many times, I have found super snipes on neggs, stones, PBs, maps, dubloons and etd, from their shops. 1500 is the max I will pay per negg token point. So I guess basically you need the NP and patience, to slowly make your sneggs @ the cheapest cost. However, you need to watch the prices of the simple neggs (Negg, Purple/Icy/Cookie Negg, Lime, and Lemon/super icy). Sometimes they will jump up to 1600NP per negg token point. Usually at that point, I'll just sell them in my shop. During those times, I make more profit, then I would by making and selling a snegg. Finally, if you have the NP capital to stash away sneggs and wait for when there might be an inflation, thats even better. The 10x game score sending event introduced HUGE inflations. Some other thoughts are your customers. I myself am still green in the world of sniping (started at the beginning of January 2010), but I am sure that for some customers that buy them in big batches, they probably are willing to pay more than the going rate. This is just an educated guess of mine though. Bottom line, is how much work you are willing to do vs profit. If you are looking for bigger faster profits, there are better ways out there. Me, I dont mind taking the time, for small 10k+ profits. I have made over 5 million in 30 days, from all the tiny profits, so no profit is too small for me. The more NP you have, the more profits you will be able to make. A 100NP profit is tiny. A 10k profit is tiny. But if you have enough NP to be able to work towards say, 200 of those profits, or 1000, then thats where the NP grows :D Thats my take and .02 on the topic, I wont guarantee anything, nor if I proof read my post, its just my thoughts :D

For the record - A good snegg maker should be able to make 30+ sneggs an hour ------------------------------- See my new screenie petpage? (: http://www.neopets.com/~TKDChampion www.youtube.com/TKDJamesPakTKD Check out my Martial Arts samplers =)
