I was thinking the same thing! My computer isn't the fastest computer, but I'm missing the bags in shops that have them for 3 k and have about 15 in stock, it's crazy.

last year I got scammed while buying one. they were selling for just under 10k. I clicked on one for 9,999 and he added a 9 so I paid 99,999. I was dumb enough to have that much np on hand. I have had the bag in my SDB ever since. Guess I should check to see how much they are now. I am very happy they added the message about the seller changing prices because it would have happened again this year.

Yeah, same here. I would have lost quite a few neopoints like that. ._.

most pages on the wiz are selling last year's bags for what I got scammed for. I am hoping that the cheaper ones will sell today because it is Halloween and I can get my money back. I will wait another year if I have to. I am pretty stubborn lol

I missed this last year, and I used the links this years, thanks for the links :P I would save them, because, if I am not mistaken, last year's goodie bags are unbuyable.


I missed it last year too, I didn't realize you had to search around the site for them. I thought you had to buy them from shops or something like that. Anyways, I got all 4 this year, and I'll probably save 2 or 3, and open one. Well, if you ever can that is.

Score! Got three @ 250, 1 at 100, 1 at 10 np!

The cheapest I got was 2300. I sense someone using bots...because I'm really fast and then they're gone! I mean sometimes when I go into te shop, the 4 of them are gone or something! Oh well..wait for a while. What are last years goodie bags called? xD

There are bots. Persistence is the key. Don't be discouraged!

I have 16 that I got all for less than 3k :)

Trick Or Treat Bag

I'm not going on the neoboards anymore. People are being more annoying than usual spreading the silliest rumors.

"OMG I HAVE 70945 GOODIE BAGS1!!"
"wOw WhErE d1d u find them?!?!!"
"Where is the 5 goodie bag?!?"
"u can open them at 6 pm nst even though i have absolutely no proof to back that up but everyone is saying it so it must be true!!!"
"how do u open them?!?!"
"wuts a good bag?"

Somebody kill me.

I was thinking the same thing. There's no way they can be going as fast as they are. Hopefully, if someone is, they'll get caught soon..


Hmm, well I know I'm paranoid and these days tend to think the worst - and am proven wrong at least as much as right. In this case? I never even considered a bot for something like this. Now I'm on dial up, right now I'm using a lender crummy super slow computer from the shop as mine's being repaired, but even I thought it was weird that I couldn't get even 1 goodie bag for under at least 3500 - the price I've been paying is more like 4k.

I'm seeing shops with like 20 bags for around 3k, immediately go there and they're all gone! It doesn't take that long for the page to load.

I'm also getting alot of the price change to 0 and the price change to 30,000. What the devil is wrong with people?! It just makes me so :x that people feel the need to try to cheat and scam on a game site for virtual things and virtual "money". It's not like they can withdraw the np and go to a real life store to buy anything.

Still can't open the bags! Please activate!! I LOVE opening those bags! And yes, I am going to keep trying and buy a few more. Last year I think I opened at least 20 of them :oops: - they were addicting! And I did get a Halloween pb out of one - painted my lenny instead of selling it, that was more fun for me.

And I honestly think its impossible to buy a goodie bag for less than 3500 np. You need to be some kind of super human on some alien space technology computer or something. Or cheat.

Sun Oct 31, 2004 6:40 pm

Managed to snag one for 2900 NP. I'm going to wait a while for more - it's still relatively early in the day, I'm sure they'll be next to nothing in a few hours.

Where are you at? BD chat is SO darn off topic with these bags that if it was a real MB with a search bar...I'm sure over 90% of the topics are on these darn bags!
Great, I'm reliving the first 12 hours of White Onas. I HATED that! This one is even worse cause they're still coming out.

Who even knows if these bags are worth it. Unless another Halloween PB comes out of them....they won't rise much and just be like an Advent Calendar prize.
