I used to do the "price check" here when searching for items. Maybe I am blind, but does it says anywere why that option is gone? I love that if I search for a petpet fx. i can make the search from 2000np to 8000np and see estimated prices.

Same! I think this site and improveneo.com cant do price checks anymore because TNT has a problem with it. i dont't know why.

I also just noticed that the Price Listing option is gone and I'm really bummed about it. I used it to help me buy things in a certain price range and really miss it. Is there any possibility that it the option will be brought back?

It was due to the software used for the updates or something. TNT banned it and thus we had to rid ourselves of the outdated numbers.

Me too!
Even if they were outdated, I still found the prices incredibly useful. They were almost always close enough to give me an idea whether an item was fairly cheap, expensive but buyable, or unbuyable.
And when the price shown was way off (like it used to sell for 50K, and now I can't find it on the shop wiz) that was useful information too. It might be retired and going up, or it might be that someone bought them all up and is running a scam and offering them on expensive trade lots.

since the main reason I use the site was to check prices this is really a pain. Neoitems did this once before and I was amazed by how much less I used the site, but was realy happy when they brought it back. We use it to look up items by price for daily auctions, random events, game gifts which we purchase several hundred K in each month, plus when we are looking for gifts or gallery items in a certain price range. I hope TNT and Neoitems can come to some agreement on using it. Considering how glitched neo has been lately, and being hard on guilds without cause, I guess I wouldn't hold my breath though.

Luckily, I saved the search I needed under favorites, so I can still look at the pricing order.

Bring back the old prices, I dont mind a bit. It was very helpful in searching for my items. Just put something up that the prices are outdated.

They might have been a little outdated, but it was a good guide as to the 'correct' price of an item. I will miss that feature too.

I am very new to posting... but just needed to add my comment; I also use NeoItems.net's NeoPets Item Database several times a week to find gallery and gift items and although the prices were not exactly perfect, they gave a very good idea on the costs.
I will miss this feature and am very sorry it is no longer available here.

For everyone here who didn't mind the out dated prices, there were probably ten people complaining about them still being up if they were no longer right. It was just best to let them go.

Don't blame Neoitems -- Neopets is the one that blocked the add-on that made it possible.

I don't think anyone is blaming Neoitems. We are just sharing our general feelings for losing the feature.

I sooooooo miss this feature and i agree that it didnt matter if it was just a little inaccurate, it was an awesome base guide.
Could the price check have been rephrased to "Approx worth" or maybe even items under 1k 5k 10k... etc

The inaccuracies in price would only have gotten worse. It would be like pricing something that still had the price from 3 years ago, or more. I found it very frustrating myself.

Or, if you're really completely insane you could build an Access database of all 24,000 or so items (back when I did this there were "only" 15,000 items), painstakingly query prices off of the normal shop wizard, enter them into Access, then have neoitems change an item index number which suddenly breaks your entire database.
Then again, perhaps that wouldn't be a good way to spend your time. Yup, I was totally jazzed when I saw neoitems using the improveneo prices. *sigh* Now it's gone. I guess it's back to the Access database for me. Phew. Much work. But it is quicker and far more reliable than the wiz--it just takes a couple full-time data entry people to keep it updated. Yeah I was really bored that summer and have four hands. :P
Wow, this is an old thread. Sorry. I can't believe it took me that long from noticing the prices were gone to finally getting curious enough to look up the answer.
And, lest you get the wrong idea, Webmaster, neoitems still rocks! Sorry to complain. Now perhaps I can move on with my neolife.

I just checked out improveneo and the forum there appears to have been taken down. Furthermore, it says "0 items updated today" and there is some sort of script error preventing graphs from loading. Does this mean improveneo is dead? Did TNT do something to break it? Grrr. If so, no wonder you took the price info down. Now I get it.
