    Hehe, I like how he doesn't give an explanation why or anything xD
    Topic started with 7 words, has to be a record.


    But anyways, what are you going to do if you buy a crapton of them, and the price goes down, or doesn't change at all?
    Although I know its pretty hard for baby pb prices to go down, unless they go down on the HT too.

    Thats why I dont bother investing personally x_x I never know what to buy, then I worry I might buy the wrong thing, so I just leave investing alone lol

    Whats the most you guys have made of investing before?

    paint brushes are a safe investment thanks to the laws of supply and demand. HT you have to be 4 months old to buy from therefore the resell price is always near the original price for those less than 4 months old that are buying them left and right .. second they are one use items and disappear thus meaning the market can never truly be over saturated with them. thirdly, if they are taken out the HT then because of reason 1 and 2 the price will skyrocket as every HT item that was retired has. Also if the price is lowered before it is removed which is possible as it has been lowered in the past. That is fine .. investors will hold onto what they have until they are removed or their price goes back up. And there is the profit :D

    I just thought about baby pb, since It's the only item that's value is THE closest to ht selling price. And people using It to "whitewash" neopoints.

    TNT probably won't retire anything more from the HT. It's been like 4 years since they last retired something? and that was before viacom bought out the company. they also stated they didn't like retiring things in the HT so i doubt anything else will be retired

    IMO, Kelpbeards Trident.

    the reason being that it is the item that balances out the BD like most BDers have mentioned. and it is not really that expensive.

    i know that it have been out for only a short while but hey, we'll never know right. TNT might just play with us this way.
