Sounds like it might be time to invest. How much did cloud pbs used to go for? And by the way, what is Tarla? (it's probably something I should know, but :/)
An Ixi that gies out random items at random times. think they WERE 200k. i know theyre deflating though
Copy and paste this into your url bar (without the space): http://www.neopets.c om/winter/shopofmystery.phtml That's the shop of mystery, run by Tarla, which I think is where she gives stuff out. If anyone else knows more, listen to them, because I only learned of Tarla today.
Last time she did this they were buyable for over a month or so if I recall correctly. She showed up 4 times today, so a lot of PBs were given out. There weren't very many on the SW, I had to refresh quite a few times to even snipe a few. I imagine they are going to stay right around the borderline buyable rage. Expect to see a few in shops, and others selling for 105- 115k on the TP. <3
The Tarla event referred to by the OP is actually from downloading the Neopets Toolbar. You receive an alert - flashing yellow icon on toolbar - and a popup will appear once you've clicked the alert. This popup contains a link which takes you to the special Tarla event. As far as the Paint Brushes dropping in price. They were down around 120k last night when I got mine. I'm hoarding it for a while. Kind of interested in seeing how long it takes for them to re-inflate at a reasonable price. I, personally, am not investing in the deflated PB's. I've found that doing so often doesn't result in huge profits for me - I'm rather impatient. Best of luck to those of you hoping for high profits.
I bought 9 the night before last at 180k and thought I was going to make a killing on them and went to sleep...woke up and prices were 140k and went all the way down to 100k :|
