Hey. I was just wondering, what do you reckon an icetravaganza scratchcard should be worth, roughly?

They're generally unbuyable. They sell for above 100k the last time I checked. You could probably get away with selling it for 110k if they haven't inflated. ^.^

*nods* Most on the post currently seem to be asking between 110k and 120k. However, the jackpot is pretty low at the moment (164k), and so it'll be hard to sell. You may want to wait until the jackpot is higher to sell, and if you're really strapped for cash it'll usually go very quickly in your shop at 99,999 (and it's only a 10k difference for not having to wait).

If you ask me, I'd just put it up for auction for one hour, or else if you've got HEAPS of time on your hands (e.g about to go to bed), then put it up for trades, as -10k just for quick NP isn't worth it. Hey, if you're going to bed to going out just put in in the TP or the auction for JUST enough time.

If it is retired, then the prices will inevitably get higher, as the supply gets lower. However, petpet paint brushes are, again, hard to sell, so, it would be good to get rid of it sooner. 105k is good for it, if the TP estimates them at 100k-120k.

I opened a Usukicon Y6 Goodie Bag, and it had an eraser and a pen in it.

How much should I try to get for each item?

That's a tough one. The eraser probably won't sell for over 300k (that's about what I sold the one I had for, and people are asking that currently). The pen is trickier, because there's only one on the post and that person isn't actually selling. I'd consider how hard you think it will be to sell a rare school item, and how long you're willing to put up with junk offers for. (And if you do settle on a price for it, drop me a line; I'm in the market for the pen.)
