    Is it odd that I don't sell neopoints for real money nor buy neopoints for real money?

    Commy, I think it is a little odd, that is, if you still play neo. And to answer the thread, a few hundred dollars, probably 300 or so

    I've got a good account I'm not willing to give up yet. Based on neopoints alone it's worth several hundred.
    $300! How long did it take to sell that much? Do you think it has been worth your time and effort compared to a job elsewhere? If it's not the same, there must be some other reason in using neopets to make money.

    haha fair enough, and yeah it has been. Essentially, I would buy an account with some age and something i liked about it, i would get it to like 240 avatars in a couple of hours, then resell it for more haha.

    but yeah haha, you do have a good point, for most people it really isnt worth spending the time to make the money on neo.

    Probably 300+, but I spent a good portion of that trying to get an advantage, only to get my accounts frozen =[

    Haha, who knows. From what I hear though, some people make a lucrative business out of it.

    You don't really need to be a skilled hacker to make big bucks.
    Just a good ABer (AU) and buyers, and time.

    I've made around 1500USD.
    If I were to sell everything right now, I'm looking at 500$ more.

    It's not enough for a living but it pays the little things I like to order on the internet.

    I cashed out only 1 time to pay for a trip to see my father in new-brunswick.

    It's not like I can't afford a trip there, but hey, it was free XD

    I'm saving up for a car. I don't really need money desperately, but anything from neopets really helps me. $1000 isn't bad for a 16 year old kid :p
