I'm so annoyed. -.- Just last month it was 8100, now everything is at 8600, with a few 8550s. Are the restockers buying them out to inflate them? I always wondered why Eo was so far from all the other codestones. :/
It is because people inflate codestones once and a while. Its not group inflation, but typically one person buys 100+ of one codestone and other people see that person doing that so they do the same thing--which causes them to inflate alot.
about time they go up. I wish they rest of them would go up. Can't make much NP when they sell for dirt cheap -.o
I dont get it either because codestones are so common but are pretty expensive for how many of them there are!
I would assume that some rich person is buying several hundreds of them each and everyday since key quest lets you get them. Then the person keeps doing that for weeks and sells them all at 8600 to make 500 np profit.
If he buys 500 of them, that's 250,000 net profit for him. Oooh... idea. But then again, with the CGers out, by the time he gets to 10m...
ive wondered why eo codestones are so much more than other codestones :S like i usually by about 80-90 codestones (with a usershop autobyer i made) but i tend to keep away from eo codestones right now bc they seem to fluctuate in prices too much must be just sale and demand =P or as you said so neopets millionare is buying a crap load of them and selling them at higher prices hehe, not a bad idea =P
who knows. i hate it tho. one time they were 4k, next day or two , i needed to buy 4 of them, and they were at 10k. im like.. what?!!
I thought Eo Codestones has been over 8000 nps since the beginning of 2010. Maybe it's because the training school is asking for Eo Codestones more? (But I guess that wouldn't cause the prices to fluctuate so widely.)
Yeah I don't think the training school is asking for more Eo Codestones. And, you're right, it wouldn't cause the prices to fluctuate as much as it currently does. I'm pretty sure it someone/a group of people trying to make a quick buck by inflating it.
Hey, since we're on the topic, has anyone noticed the other codestones seem to be rising in price as well? I remember a few weeks ago, majority of the codestones were at flat thousands (3000, 4000, etc.). Now, whenever I buy there's often a 100 or 200 increment from the previous price. I seriously hope I'm just imagining things. :|
Prices of codestones change alot due to time zone difference... I how ever think codestones will stay low due to the less need for stats
^^What Denied said. Codestones at 3:00 AM NST are going to be 100-500np more expensive than codestones at 3:00 PM NST. Same with dubs and most items.
Oh I see. That's probably it... but I still have this nagging feeling that I've been buying ALL more expensive ones, yet I've been training generally at the same timeframe. Dubs have been consistent at 7600-7800 for me. I even had this wacko theory a few days ago that TNT was intentionally starting to inflate the economy through rogue rich accounts that buy out all the codestones. Then I remembered Save the Wheels... XD
Agh, have you noticed that some shops just have tons of codestones, and only codestones?? I find myself always going to certain shops that have the cheapest on the wiz; they're always chinese accounts and have only dubloons in stock and several dozen of each I can't figure out where they're coming from.
Actually now that you've said that, this happens to me too. I JUST went and trained at the training school and 2 of the 3 cheapest codestone stores had foreign names and stocked a ton of codestones.
See! I think they're snipers, or something :/ Oh well, I'm not complaining lol. It's just a bit puzzling.
In my point of view it is okay, because some users are constantly selling them 2k not knowing shop wiz prize...
