[quote=kirsty_to_stay]I'm guessing the pillow very recently changed to being able to be used for neohome v2? That would most likely explain a rise like that[/quote] I thought this too, but I'm pretty sure it was already v2. The classic to v2 has me kicking myself in the butt daily.

This has happened to me lots of times too. I had some sort of chocolate item that was selling for like around 200-300NP. I priced mine at 1k, eventually sold it, checked to re-buy it and they were 99,999NP! I checked every day and eventually it went down, and now it's at around 3k. In the meantime while checking a few times a day I had sniped 3 of them anyways, 2 for 125NP and 1 for 1k :P It also happened to me a number of times with wearables items. I think that randomly people just decide to inflate the price by buying all of them. It always seems to drop soon after.

Yep. Ditto. I sold 3 Cherry Jelly Swords in my shop one day for about 60k each, then the next day there were none on SSW and the trading post prices were 500k. LOL! I figured it was just a couple people deliberately inflating the prices, but they stayed that way for several months. That was like 6 months ago and now they are still mostly UB. I have no idea why. Weird! But the opposite has happened to me, too. Buy items for 40k and a few days later they are 3k. I've learned to stay away from newly released items for this reason, but it happens with old items, too. I think the Neopian shop restock game is kind of like playing the stock market. Most of the time it's at least semi-safe, but you never know! :P ~ Love books? Please visit my bookshop. :) http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=lolooma
