    There is actually a lot of them, ranging from 20k-50k then it jumps up to about 70-90k. Most people that wanna inflate items, not all but most, look at items that are already close to unbuyable, around 90k or so, at least that is what I look for. I also look for items that are either old or brand new, that item came out a while back. Also books are kinda hard to inflate because not many people are rich enough to try and go for the book trophy, and the ones that are probably already own the book :p

    if you thought it was a bad idea you could have pm'd me..no need to put everyone else off is there?.i personaly think its a good idea..there are about 50 on the wiz if a few of us buy as many as we want..they'll soon shoot up..then when there are none left on the wiz we sell em one at a time..and not to collectors or readers either..sell them to people that want to make profit but really dont know what they do lol..theres enough of them right?.

    Blaz was only giving his opinion.. and that doesn't mean that it will put everyone else off (even though I agree with his point ;) ). I personally wouldn't invest in something that risky since there are more than just a few on the SW. Good Luck though!! :)

    Have you got any background information on the books? When were they released? Any special event attached to them etc? Do they still restock?

    People recognize false inflation pretty easy. All it takes is one person the TC to notice and nobody will buy any. Plus, I'm sure JN's price for the item isn't 300k.

    That's why you use more then one account, also you sell the items for more items, such as baby pbs and such not pure nps, offer them on ets trades and if you're lucky people will think they can get rich off them and accept

    my personal advice on group inflation: don't post it on a board, rather something like irc/an msn chat group is much less susceptible to suspicion. Also, this might be hard but making friends with someone who is a moderator on JN helps alot (they have the power to alter prices anytime as they see fit).

    Not a lot of people follow JN prices anymore simply because of that problem, its been known to follow inflated prices or even falsely inflate an item, I know I don't follow JN anymore unless when Im making an AB list. Also outdated too, they don't take prices changes often.

    usukicon y10 gummies too many on shop wiz, would take too much money to turn them UB and they're really only worth what the bags are worth right now because the bags are still restockable

    Valentine Grundo Gift Box, no because its R.82 which means they could mass restock causing you to lose more money then you put in.

    A good item would be something like Resistance Headquarters Background, although there are a lot around, there is a use for them, and since they are retired as a plot prize they will do nothing but go up in price after becoming unbuyable, this would take a lot of money but would give a higher mark up price over time, and since its a wearable decent looking background its even better.

    The background would be a good idea, but not many people would pay hundreds of thousands for a background.

    Please don't gravedig. Thanks !
