Selling HTSs

Sat Jan 22, 2005 4:42 am

I have got a few hard to sell items that I would love to get rid of but I can't seem to sell them becuase, well, they are HTSs. Anyone got any tips?

First, how much do they cost on the TP? If the asking prices for them are quite high, you can use them to bid on someone's lot which is worth a few hundred thousand less. Use the "Newest 20" to help you. You can also go around PMing gallery owners seeing whether they want it or not, if your item is a rare one.

First, you've got to say what HTS it is, and also what do you mean by "what they are worth". Do note that the asking prices for HTS on the TP are normally higher than its normal worth.

I'll buy any HTS at a discounted price, EXCEPT for TCG's or those other cards. PM me the item, the TP price, and your price. Thanks. :3

Some people (like me sort of) are HTS dealers, and appear when you least expect them and will take mostly any HTS's off of your hands if the price is right. Just make sure your HTS is about r87, 98, or 99 and above.

I've gone onto the gallery boards and asked around about specific galleries when I wanted to sell some HTS item like TCGs or certain morphing/transmog potions. That's kind of hit or miss. Something else you can do is, do a search in the shop wiz and see how uncommon the item is. Look in the unbuyable price range for galleries with that item in it. Then do searches for similar items. What you're looking for is a gallery that needs that item, and doesn't have that item in it.

Fer example... I buy HTS Lenny items. Lets say one day I decide I want to cut some of my excessive stock of Lenny Tmog potions. I will go looking for Lenny galleries, Mutant galleries, bird galleries, brown & grey galleries, potion galleries and maybe do a quick search for galleries of bad tasting things. (It's described as having a disgusting taste on the item lookup)

Also, try auctions. figure out how much you will take for the item. Say you've got something that goes for about 150K but is HTS. Put it in auctions for 100k with a 25K minimum bid. The first bid will put the price at 125, still less than the going price in trades, but better than nothing. If you're lucky someone will put a second bid on it and you'll get what its worth.

Just my $.02

Honestly, I sold all my hard to sell items to newbies, and I got great profit too. I'm evil, right. :)

I found some going for 15k.

Most buyable items, even HTS, should sell within 3 days, at most 1 week, so long as you price them the lowest on the wiz. It is a small wonder no one wants to buy yours if you are pricing it at twice the going rate. With the new shop wiz system it'd be wise to check and triple-check for the lowest price on the wiz.

I was selling all 10 codestones on the TP for 50k and someone offered me one of these and 4k. What exactly does it do?

I would try on the TP finding a Transmogrification Potion selling by a newbie-ish person whose account doesn't look too good. :evil:

I got a Draik Transmogrification Potion for a Terask Tooth. :3

Amen! I am so with you there! It's almost like computer in rl! As soon as you leave the shop, it's almost immediattely worth nothing. It does not help that haggle in Neopian shops is terrible (meaning I can't haggle worth beans lately!!!).. who knows what awful things TnT has next in line to battle the ABs only stupid peopple use...
