    [Discussion] How do you feel about the recent inflation in specific NP items?

    So, Neopets has literally been:

    The Rapture X The Apocolypse X What I imagine it would be like to smoke PCP at a Wiggles concert X Hell 2: Electric Boogaloo

    BUUUUUUUUT

    since we're all so hopelessly co-depentant on this petsite to bring us the calming nostalgic wave of dopamine boosting thru the brain, lets have a roundtable discussion (i almost said pizza, sue me) about the rampant inflation of certain items, namely PB's, Nerkmids, R99's, and a few other thingies i've noticed go higher than I do when I was in my traphouse phase.

    Let's look at some ~*~ prime examples ~*~


    Halloween Paint Brush
    TP Value; 4,000,000+++ NP
    Inflation: 200% +/-


    Faerie Paint Brush
    TP Value: 8,000,000+ NP
    Inflation: 175-225%+


    Candy Paint Brush
    TP Value: 7,000,000 NP
    Inflation: 150%-175%


    Invisible Paint Brush
    TP Value: 4,500,000 NP+
    Inflation: 400%++


    Chaos Giant Plushie
    TP Value: 6,000,000 NP+
    Inflation: 160%-200%


    Faerie Bori Morphing Potion
    TP Vallue 3,500,000-4,000,000 NP+
    Inflation: 130%-160%


    Faerie Ruki Morphing Potion
    TP Value: 6,000,000 NP
    Inflation: 275%-325%+


    Meepit Muffins
    TP Value: 12,000,000 NP+
    Inflation: 300%-400%

    Thats just a Few examples of the massive inflation of random items, not to mention the Nerkmid price spike, going from 65,000 NP-90,000 NP to 125,000 NP (give or take 10,000 NP) as the standard going rate for almost all Nerks, it's insane.

    And don't get me started on Kad Foods...

    Thesea are the prices i've seen/been quoted or asked to pay:

    Tigersquash Custard: 50,000,000 NP
    Glowing Apple: 50,000,000 NP
    Chokato Toffee Apple: 25.000,000-50,000,000 NP
    Raspberry Toffee Apple: 40,000,000 NP

    ..... i mean, that just nauseates me to no end lol.

    So, my question(s) for yall, cK peeps;

    What is causing this inflation? Is it a decrease in these items spawning in restocks, random events, or "items that give items"

    What do you speculate the next group(s) of items are that are gonna take a massive price hike?

    What is there to do? What can anyone of us do? Because this is going to eventually going to break the Neo-Economy. I've seen it before. It starts off smallish than populates like wildfire overnight seemingly!!

    Anyways, share items you've seen inflate like a mothaf... lately... Discuss any possible plans or ideas to deal with it (besides the obvious buy at least 500,000,000-1,000,000,000 NP in items so you can afford all the inflated goods)
