I decided to make this thread, as I will be looking to create a group of people that work on inflating Snowbunnies ONLY. Snowbunnies were inflated to about 700-800k a couple months ago when there was an inflation craze. A few days after they hit 800k they went down to 300k, then 250k, and hit a low of 200k a couple weeks ago. They are currently at 250k and I plan on buying around 5-10 Snowbunnies a week. In 4-6 weeks I think they will hit 600k again. And 7-9 weeks hopefully around 2mill+ if people help inflate. If I spend 1.5mill a week and the price doubles to 600k from inflation after 5 weeks, that 5 weeks x 1.5mill = 7.5mill spent on Snowbunnies. And If the price is doubled thats 7.5mill PROFIT from those 5 weeks alone. Once the price gets over 800k it will be much easier to inflate them to 2-3 mill each, just as the Meowclops Inflated to 11mill. Some people say snowbunnies are too expensive to inflate or they're are too many in existance. But what they dont realise is that many of the players that hoarded 100's of them when they were 40k are iced. And theyre are MANY others who are currently inflating them as well. 3 Weeks ago there were always around 20-30 snowbunnies in auctions and TONS in the trading post. Right now there are only 5-7 in auctions and yes still quite a bit in the trading post, but not nearly as much as theyre used to be. This process will most likely take 2-3 months, so it's more of a patient inflating with big gain at the end, and not one of your 3 day inflation schemes that generate only a few 100k. Lets say theyre are currently 200 Snowbunnies on the tp (which there aren't). And you used a program to make 300-400k a day(making 300-400k a day with a program is very low freeze rate). That means you can buy 1 snowbunny a day and 7 each week. And lets say 3 people are doing this. in 9 weeks you could buy out every single snowbunny and 9 weeks is just about 2 months. I've done this in the past with some r.99 items that were restocking quite a bit and were at 100k on the tp. I bought nearly every single one (about 14) for 110k-160k and sold them one by one for 500-800k each. Making about 6-7mill in just a week and a halfs worth of inflating. Of course I had to spend about 2.5mill myself to buy them out, but getting 9mill back is worth it. You have to spend money to earn money. Spending a few mill to buy 15 snowbunnies is worth it when you sell them for 1-2mill each later on. Thanks for your time and I can't believe I just wasted 10 minutes typing this out.
Seems like a good idea, but so many people are already hoarding them, As soon as some1 whos got 100 of them decides to show himself, the price is gonna tank.. And considering thers gotta be about 100 people hoarding that many of em, It could be any time... U might just have it up to a mil and then one of those guys comes out and tanks to price. If youve got the nps tho, now would still be a pretty good time to buy, but set a goal that as soon as its reached you sell, otherwise youll keep holding on to them while they deflate.
The price deflated because of the pound reopening. Meaning people couldn't be bothered to wait to age it, and instead borrow of people. Unlike the Meowclops which gets the avatar instantly, the Snowbunny requires a year to "mature". Now that Meowclops has deflated to around 6-7 mil again, I think it will take longer than 10 weeks for Snowbunny to reach 2m+. Like Adam said, as SB was an advent prize and many were given out, and people hoard them. But don't be put off, go for it! I'd like to see how it turns out.
i dont think there is any actual demand for the snowbunny now, as smelly said, the pound reopening caused all the avatar seekers to borrow a pet with attached snowbunny off people, rather than waiting a year. practically all the demand now is from hoarders. i really dont think this is such a good idea.. same with the snicklebeast. i actually think there are MORE out there than what people expect. many many more than the meowclops, at least, which restocked in shops.
meowclops never restocked in shops... many people that hoarded hundreds of snowbunnies when they were 30k are frozen = lost snowbunnies
well you gotta realize there are probably 100,000 of these out there. BUT you also gotta realize that even if someone unloads 100 of them, there will be another hoarder (maybe one just starting) who will buy those 100 because its easier than just buying 1 at a time.
True...I meant to say 100,000 given out. I myself got around ~30 the day it came out (along with every advent calendar item that came out that year...and all years after that). With the sheer number of people that wouldve visited the advent calendar, and the multiple accounts created just to visit the advent calendar, I'd say around 100,000 were handed out. Of that, probably 25,000- 50,000 (most likely 50,000) or more are still floating around. I know a few people with 100+ Snowbunnies stashed. 4 more people with 100+ stashed and that makes 1,000+ snowbunnies accounted for. 10 people accounting for 2-4% of all Snowbunnies in Neopia doesn't sound so wrong to me.
I've spent some time thinking about snowbunnies' potential to re-inflate, and I think this is a great idea. I also think this will work much faster if people do what snowmanny's said - cheat 300k-400k on a side and put the np in snowbunnies. I'd recommend investing legitimately on your main some too. That way, if you get frozen, it's not as bad for you, and getting frozen in general benefits everyone else because it takes snowbunnies out of the market.
Do you know what caused the huge snowbunny craze in the first place? Was it because less of them were turning up in the shops...etc?
No, just runaway inflation and word of mouth. People hear its going up, they want to get in on a quick fix, this happens over and over again. This also explains for the quick drop as everyone unloaded.
Look in your SDB, Gallery, Shop, pet(as a petpet), & invent....if you still can't find it you got hacked, cged, or sold it...or maybe a re got it from your invent.
