    Neggs are always a good slow legit investment as is the stock market I would say :)

    Neggs aren't that great
    Everyone recommends them, but they are easy to come by.
    The price *might* go up a little bit if a war comes, but it's still not worth it.
    Neggs are made by buying neggs sold in shops and then going to the neggery - easy to mass produce...

    What happens on the 500th Neopian Times?

    Ahh yes, but not all neggs are in the neggery :) and those are the ones that sell as well as the fact people are too lazy to collect the points and prefer to spend np's on them :) but that is why i said "slow" investment .. not a lot of profit unless you look at the looong run :)

    not to into that idea..with the neggs..i like investments with a big return..like usukicon items for example..have you searched for usukicon y10 gummies?. they are getting rare now they've been retired and are now unbuyable jellyneo sais 225k which i love..i bought them about a year ago for 19k each :) ive got over 20 4million to sell them all and thats nearly all profit cos i paid 400k for them :p but i could hold onto the majority of them and see how much further the price goes up :D

    to a certain extend. depending on where the r101 stamps come from, if it comes from like an real life item that cost like USD$80 then for sure it is worth investing in. if it comes from some easy events then no it is not..

    but stamps are like so commonly known as good investments so much so that there is a huge huge risk that there may come one point that no one new wants to get the stamp trohpy coz there are like 92891284 of a certain stamp in a few user's SDB and buying one of the stamp in the market cost like 10mil. IMO, the r99 ones are the better choice coz it is like what the description puts (super rare). there is no risk that there will be a big amount of them in the market at any one time.

    basically, the best things to invest in are retired things

    since the more people are cheating, the more people getting frozen o_O'

    a short list of a few items that will probably inflate the next months/year

    -Faerie paint brush ( it is usable, will run out once)
    -Meowclops ( many are being sold from illegit accounts, which get frozen in the end)
    -Snowbunnies ( I know that there are a TON of them out, but it will probably rise slowly)


    i was thinking, if they ever retired gourmet cooking for your pet it would inflate like hell asap.

    Anything from the altador cups (full set of yooyus for example) will be worth 1mill+ in a few months when the new AC cup comes out, collectors willing to spend big money for them. Also ususki items are a big hit with people these days

    Heh, and hopefully the top prize won't be like a Christmas Paint Brush or something (a la last year's Cloud Paint Brush -.-).

    you can prob buy a full set for around 600K right now, wait a few months and it will go up to around 800k, my friend has about 10 sets hes waiting till they skyrocket. Sets are also easier to sell to collectors since they are looking for complete item types. I make all my $$$ from Plots and retired items and ABing of course :)

    Oh wow sorry yes you are right, darigan yooyu go for about 4m now :( disregard my last post of 600k that's what they were going for when they first came out.

    Did some research , rough estimate of prices
    Blue, yellow, red - 300k
    fire - 400k
    normal yooyu - 700k
    darigan yooyu - millions :(

    you can still make profit though in the long run
