AUCTION Restocking

Sun Jun 13, 2004 6:21 pm

Yep, you read right. Auction Restocking, so how do you do it? In this article you will read how to be a succesfull auction restocker.

Have you ever tried to restock via the Neopian Shops? But find it very hard? There is another way, my friend. Auctions. Heres some requirements.

1) You must know how to use a computer.

2) You must be able to type really fast.

3) You must use Hi-Speed on a Cable Modem, or a fast internet connection. The faster the better.

Now that you've got that. These are some things you must do in order to get a good buy.

1) Start at [41-60] it gives you a good 25 seconds to bid, countdown, and check.

2) Look around, try to find a good buy, for example: Fruity Faerie Easter Negg, starting at 5,000, mininium increment 5 NP, okay the first step is to check, to a quick copy and paste, by using control c and control p, and make sure to make it exact, if you don't it may cost you a good buy. Next, run back by using the back on your browser's toolbar. Refresh until you see a number, preferabely 10, as you get better, this number will get less and less. Count in your head: 10.9.8.7.6.etc. When it gets to about 2,3 or 4, depending on your internet speed, and how good you are. type in a bid considerabley higher than the price at 10 seconds, for a lot of people will want to get it. and push enter when you get to 2,3, or 4, once again depending on your internet speed, and how good you are. If it dosen't load the next page right away, DON'T CLICK IT AGAIN, if you clicked it within the time left, and you don't let it load, you won't count, just be patient, when it does bid, go back, to the auction main page. And see if you won it, if you did, Congratulations! If you didn't, then better luck next time, just remember, SOLD MEANS SOLD!, it gives you a different way to restock.

3) To search for good deals, search for something valuable. Such as paint brush, and it will give you the 20 cheapest paint brushes, bid on some of them, and mark the time when they are over, so you can be there, and access it by going to 'My Bids'

4) Have lots of things you have bidded on. I like to bid on 45 at a time.

5) Try to bid on low profile things, such as beauty bed, but it turns out it is worth 31,000.

Until then, good luck restocking,

Bleh, i generally prefer a bit more than 15 seconds to check... especially if you're refering to checking with the shop wizard..

Hmmm...some pointers, if I may. For one thing, the article's gotta be longer. It has to be a minimun of 1,000 words. Secondly, you should write an introduction (to help fulfill the word requirement and to better convey your point): what's auction restocking? what if you don't have a fast connection? Try to cover some of these topics. Lastly, the grammar is a bit sketchy in some parts. Go over it and spread things out--it seems congested. Other than that, good luck!

Also, you should point out that you need to have a lot of nps on hand--because once you bid, those nps are taken away and held in Neopian limbo somewhere until after the auction closes.

If you want to make a second bid on something b/c someone has outbid you, you have to have enough nps for the second bid on hand--the nps in limbo can't be used.

This completely ties up your capital until the auction closes (which is OK if it closes in 5-10 minutes, but could be a royal pain if it closes in 24-48 hours--as I have seen some do in the recent past).
