    Have you been keeping an eye on them recently? Do they seem to be inflating slowly?

    I honestly cannot picture a PETPET Paint Brush being worth an awful lot. But on the other hand, I remember when they were around 150k... Soo...

    Based on the fact its a petpet paint brush, I'll still say no. It's not a good investment idea.
    I just don't see a huge market for them..?

    I dont see a huge market for them either.. Personally, the only ones id ever really consider buying are the "big" ones like fire. :3 an even then, i find them unappealing to spend several hundred thousand on.

    No. Petpet paint brushes are really hard to sell. So even if they inflate not many people will buy a petpet paintbrush. They will most likely buy a coloured petpet instead. Although you could earn some out of it.

    But my advice would be to invest your np on something else.

    Thanks everybody for advice :)! Could you guys give me some ideas on what to invest on? I know stamps are ok... But i only have about 5 mil nps total so i can't do stuff like meoclops... etc.

    edit: What about the book Anger Management for Navigators? It's only 11k and retired...?

    Do you have any background information on it?

    IMO, any item that you are curious regarding investing in, should have some background information.

    What you're looking for are items that are not/were not released in large amounts, that are more than likely going to be used for a specific reason (stamps that are avatar/album related etc.). A great example is an item released from say, Better Than You, which only have 500, that don't restock in shops that can be used (like a book, stamp for album etc) or an item that may have people WANT it even though it doesn't do anything.

    Once you think you have an item, look it up.

    See where it came from.. Did it restock? Was it released for an event? Is it given out in RE's? etc.

    See how many are in existence already... How many on Shop Wiz? How many on TP/ Galleries etc.

    The item you're talking about, Anger Management for Navigators, was released in Y8 in the Advent calendar. Without actually looking how many are around, I can already tell you that there are going to be... LOTS (being an understatement ;)) of these around. Being that it is a book, and people will read it. Then YES, it will inflate as more vanish, But at the speed it will inflate, its not worth the time and effort.

    I've had a look.. The item seems to have been a normal items restocked that's just retired, causing it to now inflate.
    Now, Thats a better item to want to invent in. It's required to complete the album and get the avatar.

    There would be quite a few hidden in SDB's though, as others would have the same idea in relation to inflating.

    It MAY actually be a good one, but I couldn't tell you how fast it would inflate. I could it would depends on whether or not you were going to inflate it manually, by trying to buy as many as you could etc. Or just buy some and hope for the best...

    Trying to guess never really is an easy thing.. it's got alot to do with chance!
