what happened a few hours ago it would show estimated value of the items when you search the database now it's not there?

I believe this is about the conflict going on about the ImproveNeo which is the program that gets these estimations.
So far there is no clear way to now if ImproveNeo is 'legal' in neopets terms, and apparently some people have been frozen for using it.
I'm pretty sure this is gone for safety reasons, but until webbie herself confirms us with why it's gone, we can't tell if it'll be back in the future or not. I hope Neopets gets their facts straight soon, it isnt really a cheat program in my opinion, it just provides you with easy acess links and transmits data from one page to another, it's not doing the work for you, you still have to 'work' for everything.
I'll leave my rant alone for now *breathes*

Its just grabbing info fromt he website, no different then neodaq does with stocks all day long.
I really hope they bring this back, neoitems wont be the same without it!

I don't know if it will ever be coming back. There was no point keeping it online any longer because the prices were getting old and inacurate.

It makes sense it is like the stock market databases, it only reports trends, however, neopets has a habit of changing anything that helps you make more nps! I still think this is a good site, but may not come as often without the feature.

That feature was great, I used it all the time! I used it for my packrat avatar and I use it for finding items in certain price ranges for my guild activities.
How can it be cheating to know the prices of items? It is a shame, people put so much work into that too.

if showing estimated prices is cheating, than being a premium neopet member will soon be forbidden too.

Regardless of the accuracy, the prices at least gave you an idea of the range - low/moderate/high and unbuyable - very, very useful for stocking a shop, determining appropriate gifts, getting some idea of the value of an item, etc. --without having to go look up each individual item on the shop wiz - or super shop wiz -- and, as far as I can tell, this was the ONLY place to get ANY idea for a range of like items. I truly hope it will be returned, since it is only informational - does not give you any other advantage, you still have to go through the same channels to buy the item.
