    Like Halloween Goodie Bags and Ghosty Trick or Treat Bags.

    The past 2 years are only 10k and get you garbage from what I hear....
    But the Halloween and Ghosty supposedly have chances of Meowclops and you can get the booster packs too.


    The Ghostys are 30k and the Halloween are 40k

    The Trick or Treat bags from the year before the halloweens are now worth 600k!

    Can you please clarify what you are asking? Are you wondering why we, the players, don't inflate items, or TNT?

    Anyone with enough money can inflate any item. Simply find something cheap and buy everyone else out consistantly and charge what you want... It may or may not be your downfall. Also, all items besides Christmas genre generally inflate alot around there season.. it seems more people are giving during the holiday seasons.. thats just what I've experienced.

    All in all im not really one for inflating items, I'll leave that upto the determined guilds out there. Alot of times particular items will go down in value, however, I believe the ones you suggested will be going up.

    Valentines material is a great inflation item. :p

    I believe it's a suggestion to the community itself, with a reference to past events.

    There isn't a lot of demand for the bags, since the chance of getting a meowclops is so low. If you inflate the bags, my guess is that they would be fairly HTS.

    new idea!
    Ex: you have 11 million np.... or w/e a meowclops has
    buy 11 million np worth of the goody bags that have a chance of maybe getting a meowclops.
    open them all....
    11 million / 40k equals = about 275 bags.

    You are bound to get atleast one right? And if you buy that many you will have the controlling amount.... and TNT cant bust you for inflating because... well... you are trying to a meowclops. And if you get 3 or 4? PROFIT! Or if you get one and inflate the rest? PROFIT!

    Actually, when the halloween goodie bags first came out I opened over 300 of them, didn't get any Meowclops.. I did get a few Count Von Roo boosters though:)

    Wow, that must've been bad news. Btw, what was the value of the combined items, or an estimate in comparison to what you spent on the goodie bags..? If if was a good sum back in profit, or a little less you could try again possibly. Does anyone know the actually percentage rate for recieving the Meowclops, or other items.

    I could do a simple calculation on your profits possible if needed. The numbers do have to be real and not estimates though.

    i think this may be quite a good idea, since i dont' think TNT will allow tarla to give out items from events past.

    People should start buying and opening hundreds of them!
    (and keep a couple hundred for when the price doubles)

    good to know, but with von roo booster, you can easily off set that. I say buy them and open them and pray a bit and youd be set.

    If I buy a goodie bag and a Von Roo Booster is in it that is worth 5,000,000 np and if i get a meowclops 11,000,000 thats a rediculous payout...

    I'll try to buy some and maybe a couple valentines things for next year. No promises on me not being frozen by then though. Oh well, it'd just be less in circulation for you guys.

    Aint they releasing bags every halloween?
    They basically do the same thing right?
    All have the same chances of grabbing the same prize?

    I know they release different bags each halloween. I do believe you get different prizes in them though, well, not all the prizes are different but some are.

    With the issues about finding out whether there will be bags this halloween then wait until after halloween to see if they release more then inflate away
