    Illegit = 5-7 ish

    Hmm, I thought you had to be lvl 2 to sell NeoPoints. If I'm wrong, please point me in the right direction via PM. Also, how can anyone tell if an account is legit or not, age..? Or does anyone have the right to say legit, not legit..?

    Btw, I was wondering if there is a price for accounts with rare pets on them like: Hissi, Krawk, Draik etc and there estimated values. Thanks in advance.

    Usually even with legit accounts, you make legit NP's with a side account so you don't risk getting your main frozen.

    I would say not to do anything illegit on your main account or else you risk loosing it.

    So id make a new account or buy a 4month account and do all your ab and anything else on it and then make sure that your main and illegit account doesnt get tied together.

    You know about proxies right?

    I would transfer it all the np you want to sell to a side
    via proxy
    then to another side
    via proxy
    then self freeze your own middle man
    via proxy?

    then be careful.
    you have about 150 bucks worth of np how ever.

    in addition, whenever you use a program to do stuff, or try to do stuff, it too is considered illegit.

    you must click / press everything on your own for it to be considered legit ^_^

    Wow, I'm very delayed on my response this time around. Thanks for the response, I ended up seeing the thread a good few days ago. I also plan on participating in it to get a website award if anything. It's also known to increase your rep on many occasions, either situation is a win.

    On the matter of the topic:

    Legit NP = No Worries about being frozen, iced, banned.

    Unlegit NP = Worries about being frozen, iced, or banned at a later date. However, 90+% of time this isn't something you need to worry about, and saves you alot of money if you plan on investing cash for NeoPoints.

    Basically that's why people pay more.. simply put. This is simply an attempt to further explain in this follow-up topic. Hope it helps. :)

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but as soon as you sell the NP, they become illegit, right? But I suppose that if it was legit to begin with, then that would be the first flag to come up and less of a chance of ban?

    Technically yes, but I doubt sellers would deem it so. So I suppose you have to be careful when buying "legit" NP, but it should be alright. I'm sure most sellers would already have let the NP sit a while already before selling.
