How do I get Role Player items for my Avatar on TeenNick.com?

***NOTE: It seems that The-N/TeenNick occasionally attaches prices to some of these, if not all of the items. They don't always have prices attached to them, but keep an eye on your cred amount and be prepared to spend some creds to get the items. (Possibly a lot of creds.) It seems like 90% of the time the items are free, just beware that sometimes they're not.****


So there's been this thing on the online community of TeenNick.com. Users have appeared to get some of the unreleased items from Role Player for their avatars. Some of the older users claim it was a glitch when the mall changed (Which I can see as legit.) Then lots of other users surfaced that had the items (many with accounts that were created after the glitch) and lots of them were generally total assholes about how they got the items.
(Cause this is a life and death matter and being a jerk always makes you look cool.)

Anyway - the trick to getting the items has.... come into my knowledge.... and since the whole secrecy thing annoyed the hell out of me, I thought, why not make the method available to everyone? (Or at least everyone that finds my blog and reads this particular entry.)so without further ado - (Ha! Ado!)

1) While logged into your TeenNick.com account - go to the Avatar Mall (you don't have to do this every time, but humor me.)

2) Copy this URL : http://www.the-n.com/games/avMall/avMall_buy.php?item=
and put the item number (see list below) after the "=" as in;
http://www.the-n.com/games/avMall/avMall_buy.php?item=1038

3) Click the Enter/Return key. It's going to look like the page just refreshes on you, but if you go to your Avatar Closet, the items will be there. Note that they may show up in different categories - clothing may show up in the Accessories or Tops section.

Here's a photographic list of the items.

* These items are available in the Avatar Mall currently, and they're formatted to work with the full body avatars. But they most likely cost creds. All of the Role Player items are currently free, but other than the backgrounds, they won't show up correctly on the full body avatars.  

This method with the item numbers can be used for items that are marked as "Sold Out!" in the Avatar Mall - but you account will still be charged for the creds the item originally cost.

If something doesn't show up:
Check the URL you used, if that seems OK - it may be that there is a price attached to the item that is higher than the amount of creds you have. Ex. If you have 54 creds and the guitar has a hidden cost of 100 creds - it will not show up in your closet. It will if you have enough creds to buy the item - it will show up and the cost will be subtracted from your total.

This info is current as of 9/2/2009 - I can't say that this will always work or that the items will always be free. Basically, I'm saying this works for now, but my crystal ball is broken (That's what he said!) and if you're looking at this a year from now and it's not working - don't blame me. I don't have all the answers, and I don't control what The-N/Teen Nick does with it's Avatar Mall. If something changes, feel free to leave me a comment and let me know. I'll try to keep the entry updated.
