    Ok, so Xmas is coming soon...
    the paint brush seem to be cheap

    should i buy a couple?

    i'm sure TNT wouldn't be releasing free Xmas paint brush this year, its been done...

    what are your thought?

    Invest or Naah

    Why do you think they won't give them out? Haven't they been given out every year?
    I think it's better when they do give them out, because many users throw them in their shop for dirt cheap. This calls for...Usershop AB! B)

    But if they give them out, then we don't want to stock up on them since the price will go down. :(
    But if they don't give them out, and Xmas comes around then we can over price them since, people want to be in season!
    Warlord I have 1 atm just bought it b/c it was cheap and for the collection, but if they don't give them out again I'm going to resell it. :) But idk if it is worth to get a bunch of them yet.

    it's pretty much like tossing a coin...
    50% chance that you'll make BIG profit
    50% chance that you'll lose BIG :lol:

    Agreed which is why I'm fine with 1-2 at the moment. There are plenty of other items you can buy in bulk to try to make a profit off of that doesn't have this much risk factor to it. :|
    If you go for it Warlord, I hope for the best for you!

    I wouldn't do it. I don't think people will paint their pets just because it's cristmas. And if the brushes inflate at that time, they'll just wait.

    If you haven't notice

    everyone is painting their pets on the seasons, and also customize their pets according to it.
    Halloween Items are going up.

    even the spooky donuts, its was like 50Nps before,
    now its about 100+
    last time I check, not much inflated, cus its everywhere...
    but i mean, like wearable items related to Halloween are up up up!

    Yea, ever since the customization came along, pets seem very seasonal.
    If you have one, I would by another, so if you do lose, you wont lose too bad.
    But on the other hand, you could make a comfy profit. :D

    maybe search around and see if their is a pattern to when they hand them out and stuff, maybe years that they hand out xmas paint brushes they dont hand out other items

    Tnt has given out some form of a pb (or pppb) every year that I have been playing. They have never given out the same on though. ;) I'll buy 100 of them and that alone should raise the price a little. We can try to get them at least UB by xmas, then sell around the 20th.

    I think it would be a smart investment, if everyone picked up about 20, TNT probably wont release them again this year since they did last year... but thats my thoughts.

    i am 99.99% sure tnt WON'T release them again this year

    anyway, in the past prices have peaked late nov early dec BEFORE any chance of it being released

    the only question you need to ask is, with so many on the market, will they really increase in price that much?

    That's the fact :(

    I'm sure price will grow but as you thousands people around will sell their XMas PBs... I imagine that many people fulled up their SDB with Xmas PBs lol

    I'm going to stock up on more of them after christmas, when the price goes down. Then sell them off gradually in the next couple months, after xmas. I'll still keep some for later uses though.

    yes exactly.

    tnt can either release a buncha pets with great christmas colors just before christmas. or the pb can be given out by advent, random events and such so its different every year.

    same goes for every "seasonal" paint brush. if i remember correctly about 5 years ago the christmas paint brush was actually given away at advent calender dropping the price to like 10k.
