5 out of 50, and TOSO has number 6. So where are the other 44? Even with half of the owners getting frozen/quitting, there should be more floating around. Are you sure the Super Wiz hits all the Galleries? When normal users search for Galleries we turn up less than we would for a Shop Wizard result (not just the thirteen areas, but Galleries are further divided).

Though hopefully that's a good sign for TOSO.

Only a very small fraction returned back to activeness to put into Galleries (remember, when you could put an item at >99,999 and it would be unbuyable). Also, do you see all of Munster's I-Staffs/WODF/SuAP in his gallery? He definitely has more than 1 of each. Many choose to simply put stuff in SDB rather than galleries.

I think the answers pretty obviously, and you yourself already know the answer. Sell it, and spend the np to upgrade set/train pet Wink

Did Galleries not exist during the Mystery Island Plot?

Fruit Bomb is a far cry from the weapons that determine the ceiling cost in Neo. It's more something I'd expect to see in a Gallery, much like retired HT items. Sure, a few of the people who got them probably used them for a bomb the way TOSO did, but it's like a mini-G-Bomb, and most people are bound to upgrade.

I know of someone on this forum who has number 7. If PPT hadn't blown up a few years ago, I would be able to look at their plot thread and find out who else had been bragging about winning. IIRC, most of the people who won were from there.

TOSO, clean your your PM Inbox.

Another seller made a thread in BD Chat tonight (or is it this morning by now? I'm up way too late), and is asking for Jade just like the person on the Post. You might be in for a very nice wad of cash if you can manage to sell the Fruit Bomb.

Remind me to ask Forte what happened to staff members having extra PM space Dry

I doubt anyone would trade a Jade for one, though. Those are just as collectible. Perhaps an LEV?

Er, I think I misworded that last night. He was asking a price around whatever Jade's worth (which I can't remember off-hand).

Asking =/= getting. However, if everyone who owns these is asking an insane price like that, there must at least be some movement.

I think Jade is worth in the tens of millions. 40-50 maybe.

I'm betting there's less than 20 of these things left.... I used to own a Greater Tiki Amulet almost 3 years ago. There were only 40 of those ever released, but it was from the same plot. Anyway, the point is, at the time I had people who I was in contact with from the TP tell me that there were probably only about 25 or less of them left... Now I'm assuming that the GTA and Fruit Bomb probably disappeared at roughly the same rate, so by now, 3 years on, there's probably very, very few Fruit Bombs left indeed.

Could somebody take a peek at those for me (no ssw) and post the names here? I'd like to see what themes they are

I could only find 3 (I don't have SSW either). One was an island-themed gallery, one was rare weapons, and one was completely random.

TNT really needs to fix the Gallery version of the Shop Wizard: right now it's not even returning the full results for a given section (which makes a lot less sense with Galleries than with Shops).

Any luck yet, TOSO?
