    =P I'm really not sure.


    Though, to paint my dream pets, the way I want them... it's going to cost me 33.4 mil. (16 pets-4 accounts) @___@

    debate.

    Nah they aren't that expensive. The only real expensive ones are maraquan, grey, and faerie. The rest are under 2 mill. You could always try and zap the pet, that's what the lab ray is for. But the luck of the draw tends to not go my way...but it might for you.

    But like I said, I don't think they are that high, they are just priced based on supply and demand. Popular colors are higher than unpopular colors, also some have stable prices because of the HT. Just my thought :D

    Personally I don't buy them unless I'm collecting them...

    The lab ray has done everything I wanted to get done

    I don't think they're too high. Personally, I want the prices to increase even more, so I can sell all of my hoarded pbs for a ridiculous amount :twisted:

    When people AB then they will say those PBs were cheap. But the others won't. Personally i think they are expensive because i cant really afford many of them. So now i am saving up for AB.

    I remember when Faerie PBs were about 800k and I longed for one! Now 800k seems like nothing to me, and I still don't have a faerie pet! Life is so cruel :(

    It is far too high. Painting your pets should be an easy thing anyone can do to customize their account. Alot of the pricing bothers me in neopets. Unlike other people I buy things because I like them, not because of their net worth. (for instance although I have plenty of neopoints I bought three petpets each for under 10k because I prefered them over others)

    I think their getting high simply because Neopets is meant to be fun, certain people want a cool looking pet without having to play for days because ultimately if you let everyone have what they want everyones happier and people all get tired of looking the same so they seek out less popular colorations until the games fairly varied..

    with the lab ray you just keep playing till you get what you get (like I do) or if you're lucky... you can use the faerie fountain (which I've had 2) and you can change your pet.

    I haven't tried ab'ing PB's yet so I don't know how available they are, but they are ridiculously expensively.

    The more people use, the less there are, the demand increases. Simple economics people.
