Black Friday NC sale!

Could I ask a slightly dumb question please, as I'm new to NC trading but am interested in getting into customizations.

They are legitimate
Hopefully someone could explain better but it has to do with the exchange rate making them cheaper in other countries

I appreciate your help! I think I decided on 20 of the GBMC and 20 of the archive cookies. Does this seem like a good idea? I feel the cookies give me a little added value without having to send quite so many items lol. I do need a few cherry blossom branches for various customs, so I do need to high-value type things, but I also realize boxes trade quick for my small stuff. Most items I'm wanting are 1~4 cap value, tbh.

It's your call! The Cherry Blossom Branches are buyables - is that what you're talking about? I've got 3 on hand that I would be happy to just send you if you're comfortable with that idea, LOL. But if you're talking about Cherry Blossom Garlands, yeah, that'll be a different story, as those will be tougher to get and probably easier/cheaper to just buy on here.

I personally don't find the appeal of the archive cookies, but it seems a lot of other people do, so maybe someone else who routinely trades for these would be willing to chime in? I think people will probably be stocking up & not seeking those as much, personally, versus the GBCs. But you could always open some archive cookies & see what goodies you get, too, if that's something you'd be interested in!

You can very rarely get pops that would trade for a lot of GBCs, such as the Big Doll Eyes. I'd say people just enjoy the gamble lol

I feel so bad for this user. Customer service should have made this right imo. Totally their fault but easy to do if your not savvy with the mall or half asleep

OMG... noooooo. Were they trying to buy the GBCs??
I feel like TNT should just refund them so they can purchase the GBCs.
Still kinda a punishment to that user considering... it takes ages to add that many caps to your cart one at a time, lol.
But they should do SOMETHING for sure. Damn.

Considering the mall is DUMB AS HELL and you have to click 200 times to add all these to your cart...

Yeah, I mean, TNT is a bunch of dicks and should have just swapped the items because customer service is a thing, but still, this was a pretty dumb mistake. lol

They are legitimate.

The cards sold on CK and other sites for less than retail are cheaper because the conversion rate between USD and Brazilian Real is awful. Accordingly, JumpStart sells the cards for less than face value in their country, because if they tried to sell at the US dollar value, it would be much more difficult because a lot less people would have the disposable income to purchase them.
If JS wanted to sell a $20 USD card for the USD equivalent in Brazilian Real (R$), it would cost more than R$ 105.

Theoretically TNT could probably conduct a thorough analysis and look at cards destined for sale in Brazil and compare to where they were redeemed, but the odds of them doing this are astronomically low. As long as they get their money -- and once a retailer orders physical cards from them, they already have their money -- they don't care.

Is this saying GBCs bought today will continue to have a higher box drop rate even if opened later?

My uneducated guess is that tomorrow's GBC will be a different item #. That would be the easiest for TNT?

Question.

So the GBCs bought today. Do they only give out the 4-7 boxes just for today? Or it will still give 4-7 boxes for the following days?

I think they can give the extra boxes whenever they are opened, as long as they're bought today. That's how I interpreted what they put on their New Features Page:

Nov 27 - 30: The new Kaleidoscope Dreams GBMC will be 50% off. All Kaleidoscope Dreams GBMCs purchased on Nov 27 will have a higher chance of granting extra boxes (up to 6)! From Nov 28-30, they'll still be on sale, but at the regular box-per-purchase chance rate of 2-4 boxes.

Oh I just caught up to all the other posts about this issue. I agree that there is a possibility that TNT might not implement it correctly.

Thank you for clarifying. I really hope that's the case. I thought it was just today.
Don't want to miss the opportunity of getting minimum of 4 boxes in 1 gbc.
