I have about 20m to invest on my storage account and was wondering if it's be worth it to buy up the advent books and wait a year or so to sell off. I really wouldn't touch them for a year cuz I only touch my storage account probably every 6 months or when there's something interesting to stock up on.
you can always check jellyneo or something for last year's books, then check SW (I'd guess there only around 7-10k)
Seasonal Zen for the Angry Petpet - the 7th - 2.4k Neopian Carol Book - the 17th - 2.2k Classic Neopian Holiday Tales - the 24th - 2k Holiday Fashion - the 28th - 2.2k Got item names and dates from thedailyneopets.com Averages for previous years: 2007 - 4 books - 2.8k average 2006 - 5 books - 7.8k average 2005 - 1 book - 6.2k 2004 - 4 books - 10.8k average 2003 - 1 book - 18k 2002 - 2 books - 35k average 2001 - No books 2000 - No books These are just prices for books of course... and more and more people are getting the idea to 'invest' in Advent Calendar items
5k is way overpriced for an advent book. it should drop to around 2-3k. anyways, the list of old books may be a bit misleading. the 2002 books stayed around 9k until like 2006, then jumped up to 30-40k in a year and hasnt really moved since. these books take a VVEEERRRRY long time to age, not really worth it. your best bet would be to buy them, wait 2-3 years, then sell them at double the price. this will be the quickest price increase (2x in 2-3 years) and it wont really be worth it to wait any longer as you can get a better return elsewhere at that point. advent calendar items havnt been appreciating in price much lately because this whole hoarding sensation that swept neopets in 2006 really killed it. too many hoarders now.
i don't think u'll be able to sell them, a lot of old advent prizes come up in FREE trades. soooo yeah.
