Okay, they've somewhat fixed things. It's down to just one item requested, and the request pool is MUCH bigger now. However, as Blue noticed...the original ones that were inflated are still in the pool. Hopefully they'll come down in pricing over the next few days.
JN is trying to get a list of the requested item pool here:
https://items.jellyneo.net/search/?scat[]=337
(You will need to copy/paste the link because the link won't turn into a full URL.) I don't think the list is complete yet, though.

I was able to complete my 5 quests for about 20k.
You are limited to 5 quests per day. Completing 5 unlocks the first level of the deed:
It seems you've been going above and beyond in your efforts!
You've been awarded a total of 10 Plot Points for completing these Fearless Deeds:
Image
Tea-riffic Job! (1/3)
10 pts
I will have very minimal time in the next couple days, so hopefully I'll be able to get posts up on Friday.

My 5 prizes today:
Faerie Aisha Tea
Orange Meerca Tea
Electric Shoyru Tea
Tree Climbing for Beginners
Electric Shoyru Tea

BlueEdit: Ticked "Do not automatically parse URLs" for this post so you don't click on the JN link and get to where you don't want to be...

Well, that's better. Still think they should ask for hospital shift items.

I forgot to do my voidworks earlier, so 7:54pm it is. Laser Energy (book).

And Teatime (not counting the first failed quest):
1) Relaxation Tea (cost 1599 NP, worth 3875)
2) Foodie! (cost 3000 NP, worth 15k)
3) Faerie Aisha Tea (2500 NP)
4) ---- (1M300k for a Cold Raspberry Tea that used to be worth 2k -- nope, not giving the inflators any of my money!)

Well, technically that's 5 for today, but hopefully the two I don't complete won't count. I'll check in at midnight and see if I can get two more, but if I have to wait another 4 hours, I won't get 5 in today. At least you don't have to wait 4 hours after completing one! It's just whether you get a bad roll.

Edit: And a Blumaroo Fire Tail that's unbuyable. This is utter dung. Bah humbug. At least I got three done today. This better last more days than it takes to get the last achievement. It shouldn't come down to luck and being tethered to the computer to get all these achievements. Didn't they say it was designed NOT to do that to us? *sigh* There really should be a cancel button. It would help fight the inflation, too.

Edit: next morning, another 1 million NP item. Stop asking for random teas. Ugh. I'm not spending 5 million NP a day. That's absolutely frigging ridiculous. Come on, TNT. Fix this.

Void essence weekly bonus: Magical Golden Nerkmid
Campfire: ghost toast plushie

And after four hours... Another unbuyable. I'm so over this. Fire drum.

Going to start keeping track...
3/8 completable

I got through three this morning before hitting a 500k+ one. Just got a 400k+ one. Nope. Maybe I'll catch good ones this evening? Maybe?

6/13 reasonably priced

1) cost 4999 NP, won Negg Tea Set and 196 NP
2) 1900 NP, won Tavis Tea and 124 NP
3) Organic Orange Slices (unbuyable) -- but I managed to grab them from the shop for 888 NP (plus a second one, which I'll throw in my shop at a lower price than I saw) for Electric Shoyru Tea and ? NP (page didn't load)
4) 8k, Rose Topped Mini-Cake and 197 NP
5) Blue Kacheek Teapot, unbuyable again

This is just awful. I could watch the restockers inflating the prices in real time. There should be a neopian law against price gouging!

Void works: 7:54 pm electric nachos

Attempted Tavi Tea again...

1st item not bad at 1.8k
2nd item, Jelly Milk... 1 million+. Nope.

ETA: Checked the SW again. Jelly Milk is down to "only" 800k. There appear to be exactly 8 of them on the SW, zero in auctions and zero on the TP. This is stupid.

I just sold my extra organic orange slices for 100k. More than I would pay for them, but substantially less than others were asking (by 90%). Hopefully it went to a quester and not a restocker. It's still more than 100 times what I paid for it, and hopefully it helps to bring prices down.

I snagged a couple teas in the tea shop while waiting for the one I needed, and I threw in what I could find in my SDB (but didn't go through the list -- just searched for teas, and priced them competitively since they weren't mega inflated, keeping one of each in case I need it). Again, figured every little bit more in circulation helps all of us.

7/14 reasonably priced
5) Bagguss(50 NP, but I had several) for Electric Shoyru Tea

Looks like Tavi is all done for the day! Come back tomorrow to help her brew some more tea.

Phew. It only took all day. I got the first achievement and only need 2 more for the second. Hopefully the third isn't too many more.

#4 Jar of Crushed Palm Leaves - 75k-- 5 Points, 151 Neopoints and Rosemary Mushroom Tea :/
#5 Strawberry Jam Sandwich Cookie 1k (or pull one of 8 from my SDB)... 5 points, 106 Neopoints, Island Bruce Hot Tea

1) X
2) Confident Kyrii, 110 NP (spent 2.5k)
3) X (this one's an r96 bakery item, so I'm not even going to try to restock it... Just setting the timer)
4) Electric Cybunny Tea, 134 NP (I had 8 in my SDB, so didn't price)
5) X (but at least this one is r79, so maybe I can restock it)

9/19 reasonably priced

I did a 90% undercut, Blue. Probably too much... (But that was for something others were asking for 1 million when it was easily stockable in the shop for less than 1k, so it was still a 10,000% mark up. If others are asking 100k, I'm asking around there. Same for anything less.)

I am going through JN's list sorted by price. So far I don't have any of the super expensive ones on hand. I'll stop when I get bored. And maybe I'll manage to recognize something in a shop while I'm trying for my item, and make at least some of my NP back.

The most expensive quest item right now is a 20M NP stamp. Are you okay, TNT? You don't put stamps in tea. You put stamp (taxes) ON tea, and then we riot (i.e., dump all the tea in TNT harbor).

Edit: just found a million NP item in my SDB (a WoK prize). Selling it for 50% off. We'll see if people are actually paying, or just waiting it out. I can always lower the price more. (Or a restocker will grab it and try to sell for more. I won't know.)

Edit: that sold fast! Found another one listed on JN for close to a million, but SW has them as low as 300k, so it seems maybe the resellers are realizing people aren't buying that high. I hope the speculators who overbought to drive up prices end up losing NP in the end as the market comes down. Happy to help!

Edit: third strike of the day. At least I should have achievement two now... Yep! And the third one is only 15. Hopefully we'll have plenty of days, assuming the chapter is as long as previous ones and it goes until the end.

...oops. 90% undercut. I read that as 10%. Whups. But... it sold really fast, so there's that. I should have priced it lower, maybe 30% undercut ;) Next time.

I stayed up late last night (after our company was in bed) going through my SDB and pulling out items that were expensive. I had a bunch of the food items for kitchen quests (which I suspect will be out for a while, because they're probably too expensive) and a lot of random ones that I've gotten as prizes for kitchen quests over the last however long I've been doing them. At some point, I'll need to update my kitchen quest sheet to include any of those that I sold that were prizes...but later. Anyways, I helped bring prices down one some of these items by purposefully undercutting people by anywhere from 5k-50k (depending on how expensive the items were), and then repricing when I could. If I cut the price down too much, I was afraid resellers would buy them instead. Hopefully, the more of us that pull stuff out of our SDBs and do this, the lower prices will get. Also, I expect that demand will drop drastically once people start hitting their 15 completed quests.

First two attempts today were stupid expensive and I didn't have them so I passed. (One was an item that had sold overnight when I'd tried to help bring the prices down. Guess if I'd not done so, I could've used it.)
First one I completed was cheap and I had. Second was expensive (750k) but I had it so I completed it. 3rd one was expensive....but had dropped 100k since I sold my one last night...so I bought it (still net 100k positive on it). 4th one was cheap. 5th one...is 500k and I don't have it. I'll try again later for #5.

Maybe I'll go through my SDB again tonight. Maybe. Might wait until tomorrow after company is gone. We'll see?

Items so far:
Island Bruce Hot Tea
Tree Climbing for Beginners
Faerie Aisha Tea

6) Elegant Tea Service, 187 NP (cost 1k)
7) X
Edit (midnight) 8) X

10/22 reasonably priced

Guess I can try again at midnight for my last two. Ugh.

Voidworks: 8:20pm and Void Dew Energy Drink

Edit midnight: another bust, so only 3 completed today. I'm having awful luck. Ugh. I'm not going to bother with this much past 15. It's consuming way too much head space, and this stuff is my least favorite part of the site.

When doing a quest, you cannot have more than 60 items in your inventory.

Last quest I had the item in my SDB already. Got an Electric Shoyru Tea for it and this...
Well Done!

Whew. Done with that.


ETA: Shoot. I just realized that the images for each of the different ones are different, and I totally blanked on getting the 2/3 one. If anyone hasn't gotten there yet and can get the second image address, I'd appreciate it for when I update the main post with info.
