Tarla Gift Giveaway " This is a tip if you are lucky enough to grab one of those great gifts from Tarla (you can get one if you see the “alert” button flashing yellow in the Neopets toolbar, but you have to be quick – I think you have about five minutes from the time it starts to flash). Don’t price the item for sale in your shop right away, using the lowest price on the Wizard as a guide. Tarla gives out the same variety of gifts each day (I think) so when she first comes on, a lot of people will get the same item you have just received. So, the price goes down – supply and demand don’t you know. Gradually the price will rise as people buy up the cheaper ones (you can be one of those people, if you want to stock up). As the day goes on, the price will rise and you can add the item(s) to your shop. Be warned, however, that there are several of these giveaways each day so the next time, the price will be down again temporarily. Selling at the higher price just takes patience. If I stock up on the cheaper items, I usually place the extras in my SDB. When the first item sells, I can see from the sales history what the market is bearing at that time. I can just use that sale price and avoid spending a lot of time searching the Wizard for the lowest price. On the other hand, you may suspect (or hope) that the low price has risen even further, and you will search the Wizard again. If you have even more patience, you can wait several days, weeks or months to see how much the price has risen. This would hold true for the one-day giveaways such as the better Christmas gifts from the Advent Calendar or the items you can sometimes win in the various plots and contests TNT puts up. Another warning – this tip usually works but not always - sometimes the price will fall and stay down – it's all a gamble in the long run. If you have received your
Tarla gift early in the day, the next times you see the alert flash
yellow, go back to the Wizard to see if you can pick up any cheap versions
of your gift that you can stockpile. |

Wiz Sniping. " Look on the Wiz for items people get as random events. You can find them underpriced if you refresh a long time. This is called "Wiz Sniping" A lot of people spend all their
time doing this. Bottled Faeries,
codestones, map pieces, Dubloons.

Re-stocking Your Shop " About 5-10 minutes or so after a neopian shop re-stock if you search the wiz for things that were in the shop then you can usually find them cheaper because some people want to get rid of them fast! Likewise, be careful when using the wiz to price your items that you just bought in a neopian shop, wait for awhile first! This usually works best in the bookshop. |

A way to make money " You can adopt a pet with a petpet and sell the petpet.Then if you want get rid of it and do it again.Just look at the pets lookup to see if it has a petpet before you adopt it. Be quick though. |

New Items " Beware brand-new items. At first, they're overpriced, until more people get them. Then the value can drop FAST. (Like new Plushies, BD or Quest items) |

Re: Adopting A Pet " I get more items by adopting a weak pet every day, then doing the dailies, (Coltzan’s Shrine, Fruit Machine, Tombola) with him. I get tons of stuff. The weaker your pet, the more you get Then put him back in the pound. This also helps your own
pets. If someone gets into your account, and you’ve already discarded a
pet, they can’t discard yours because you can only discard one pet a
day. Gives you time to get your account back. |

"Multi
Window Tip " Right now I have three windows open: the igloo garage sale, the bookshop, and a third to do whatever I want. I refresh the garage sale and bookshop, so I can try to be the first to get the deals. |

Tippy tippy :) " For those people who don't have a great connection but can restock now or then, or even for the greedy fast connectors (Just joking) The pharmacy is now a real golden egg laying chicken. The cure for the disease given by the Wheel of Excitement skyrockets in price making it a nice investment. Don't try thinking why people would buy them, I don't know either but when you considerably under price the item you can sell it really quick. I think this tip may be efficient even when the disease changes because most of the cures at the pharmacy are REALLY common items. So unless a rare disease is chosen the pharmacy is a nice place to start |

Retired Items Value " I have a gallery going for retired items, and I have some theories about how likely they are to go up in price. Most items take a long time to go up in price after they are retired, especially the common ones. Items that are permanent (gifts and unbreakable toys and permanent battle items, for instance) will go up the slowest. The only things that will cause them to be rarer are more people playing overall on neopets and/or people abandoning or loosing accounts that contain these items. Non-permanent items like food, books and limited use weapons are likely to go up a bit faster because they get used up in addition to the above factors. On the other hand, onion rings are not a gourmet food so I suspect that once they start rising in price people won't bother feeding them to their pets. In this way, books are a better investment. No matter what common items will rise slowly, so unless you are willing to wait a year or two, you aren't likely to see a huge profit... -KittensAndRoses |

Re: Making 100,000 Neopoints " The main idea is to buy items BELOW current market value as dictated by the Shop Wizard. Then sell your item at current market value, and 1-5nps LOWER than the lowest person selling the same item as you for a quick turnover. You can find under-priced items everywhere! The Neopian stocked shops (though not all of them are under-priced), people's shops, people who mis-mark or go but the Neopets estimated values, the Trades and (my personal favorite, Auction Goddess, remember! lol) the AUCTIONS! I have made MILLIONS there, and I still do everything on our Homepage daily(that isn't game playing related) I rarely play games at all. It just takes a little time and research and you're on your way! Rock On! |

Re: tip " You have no idea what a GREAT tip that is! When I first started making my nps, I NEVER used the nps in my bank account! I would play games like, Scorchy Slots, and every time I made 1000 nps, I banked it. I sold the things I got as freebies, random events etc, and kept the nps in my shop. I used THAT to play with. Trust me, it works!! |

tip " I don't know if this will help but if you need like 100np for the wheel of excitement (or any low number of np then play a game instead of taking it out of your account |

Quick NP! " Here's something that works.....buy all 6 faeries at the lowest price that you can get them for...then go to the trading post & list them all as one set....don't sell.until you get a good offer over what you paid, cancel the lot and re-list it every 15 minutes as many times as you can until you get tired of it....you will get a good offer! this works... You can do this with Codestones, and Maps too! |

making np " my shop would have to be my first for making the most np,but i have to say playing slots has helped me win maps and faeries to sell,i have yet to win a jackpot (it would be so cool to win it though) |

Guild Poll " The continuing overwhelming favorite is buying and selling in shops. I have to agree. I just spent a little time buying and selling codestones and made 20,000 Neopoints .. good stuff! |

"NeoPoints" Why should you focus on Neopoints? A lot of peeps write me wanting to know if I'll give them stuff, or trade them for stuff they really need - basically begging for help. Focus on becoming a NEOMILLIONAIRE. Trust me: when you have a million NeoPoints and more, all of that begging stuff goes away. You can buy just about anything you want, whenever you want it. You don't care if it costs a few hundred more in the Wizard - you need it, so you just go buy it. Life at NeoMillionaire is REALLY good! Get there first and everything else becomes a piece of cake :) |
