What Are The Neopies?
The Neopies are a yearly voting competition to find the best items in select categories. Categories can include anything that has been introduced since the last Neopies ended. It is hosted by Ellsworth. What you vote for has no effect on your daily prize or final prizes. Pick what you genuinely want to see win.
Voting is open February 1 - February 28. Be sure to vote each day for the nomination you want to win! If you miss a day you can still vote in that category for the next two days. Voting for the first day runs for 1.5 days to give everyone extra time to notice the event has started.
Since voting for the first category runs for 1.5 days it might not start right at Neopets midnight. Whenever it does start remember that voting for the first category is both February 1st and February 2nd. The next category will not be available until February 3rd.
If multiple options are available for you to vote for that means you did not vote on a previous day. Make sure to double check you have submitted your votes! There is a bonus prize for voting on the first day for every category!!
Each vote gives you one random prize from a prize pool. TNT has said this prize will not repeat for users. So once you get an item for voting you will not receive the same item again. Jellyneo keeps track of prizes in the guide linked above. If you get a prize not on their list please submit it to them.
Avatar
The avatar is called Neopies - Know It All and was first awarded to some users on the 5th. This was the day the 4th category was released to vote in and one category had voted closed.
It is awarded the first time an entry you voted for wins.
Premium Prizes
If you have a Premium account you will get a second prize for voting from a Premium prize pool. There is also an extra bonus prize for all Premium users who vote for every category on the day it is released.
If you sign up for Premium after voting you can still get the prize as long as the voting period is open for that category. On the Neopies page look for a button near the top that says, "Collect Premium Prizes" and click it. Once voting for a category has closed you will not be able to go back and collect the Premium prize for it.
If the button does not appear after a few hours submit a ticket to TNT.
You are able to collect the Premium bonus prize even if you did not have Premium at the start of the event. As long as you did vote on every release day and have Premium by the last day of the event you will get the extra bonus prize.
Selling, Buying, Saving For Later
If you're looking to find the worth of an item we suggest first using Jellyneo's Item Database to get a general idea of the price. Make sure to look at the "Price History" and "Trading Post History" tabs. It is always important to double check the worth by checking out the actual Trading Post and Auction House or Shop Wizard on Neopets to see current prices. If you want more information on selling high priced items this post could be of help!
Remember, shops only go up to 999,999 neopoints. Anything above that needs to be sold at the Trading Post or Auction House. No matter where you sell an item you should double check the price typed before you list it.
TNT does repeat items in prize pools and releases them in other areas/events from time to time. Investing in a currently highly priced item may or may not pay off big later on.
All buying, selling, and trading in this community goes in our Daily Trading Thread. A new one is made each day and it is always pinned.
