    You would be manufacturing a freezing...

    Snowbunnies are already deflated a lot, Ive seen several go through auctions unbid at under 350k. I had about 10 in my SDB before they inflated, sold them all at inflated prices, then got iced :(

    They do not like people taking advantage of the market. :\

    Although that makes me wonder how a group of people (About four) can kick the prices of Secret Lab Map pieces up to just under a million for a set. Very discouraging.

    one day people were panicking and started selling their snowbunnies for 300k, but then the prices went back up to 400-500k...i think over time they will still keep inflating

    The bunnies have been deflating and frankly they're probably pretty hts. There's a lot of people out there with hoardes of them. Probably better investments out there.

    Lab map prices have risen a lot over the past few weeks. I wonder if that trend will continue.

    How can they retire a stamp? :|

    Retiring those means that particular stamp collection can not be completed.

    I hate how over the course of a week, lab map sets have almost doubled in price. I only had 3 more pieces to get and they were going to total out to 400k, but now it's 800k and they're probably going to inflate even more.

    Is that something to safe to bank on? I'd like to think that it's the case, but the chances of that are... low.

    She may just end up tossing out more of the one that already goes for only like 20k, and make it useless.

    I thought the toolbar selected the items by a random list.

    You -do- know that there are people with no lives that stalk the TP and search out people purposfully manipulating inflation, right? :\

    How high are you wanting to get the items up? I could assist.

    there on the wiz
    they were 33k yesterday ive taken them to around 40k so far and i have 98 of them
    so thats roughly 700k proffit.
    im thinking of keeping them buyable
    so selling between 90k - 95k

    Im hoping to have around 200 of them which would cost me 8m as there inflating as im buying them.

    and if i sell them for an average of 92.5k ill get 18.5m which makes me a 10.5m proffit xD

    alot of people who have over 100-200 of items that are inflating usually get iced, just so u know. TNT doesnt like people making millions of profit just from items being inflated, thats why i usually get around 50 of each item and hold onto it.

    but now im working on snowbunnies :D

    I don't think Ring of sloth stamps are profitable anymore, they went down from 48 to 44k in two days, I've bought 20 of them and now I'm sorry I did. :(

    Well, I don't have the funds to buy that many, but I did manage to buy one. And one of the biggest things you have to keep in mind if you are investing in items like this, is that it will almost always go up. The only way that it could go down, would be if TNT decided to release the items out and thus introducing more stock of the item into the economy.
