I know how you feel. I tried so hard to restock- but I just couldn't get the hang of it. Oh well, I guess.
JenesisX's Guide to Becoming A Millionare
^ An excellent guide, including an extensive walkthrough of restocking. A bit long, but very informative.
Oh wow. That's great. I'll have to read through it. Thanks a bunch.
Anytime! I hope it helps. ^_^

I make almost all of my nps by reselling. I am horrible at restocking, but have quite a knack for reselling (which, for anyone who doesn't know, is buying things off of the shop wiz and then reselling in one's shop). It keeps me playing the game.

Restocking is so incredibly easy I almost feel like I'm stealing. I switched from dial-up to cable a couple months ago, but haven't really bothered restocking until a week or so ago. I used to think earning about 100k a week from games was okay, but I've made about 500k in the past 4 days... I play food club, which is also easy money once you learn how to play, bilge dice, and dice-a-roo and pyramids while I restock. Scorchy slots is also good for faeries, map pieces, and random events. Oh, and Black Pawkeet Slots is also my new favorite. I made 20k yesterday and another 20k day. You just have to know when to quit. I myself don't like stocks as I spend ALL of my np about every week or so and mine have never risen much if any during that time. I can't be bothered with diligently saving my np anymore considering how the site's been going.

I pratically do Quests.. Snow Faerie, Edna, Kitchen..etc
The problem is that Snow Faerie Prizes are getting from bad to worse. Few years ago she even gives out Dark Battle Ducks. Now... At most you get a rare negg. :/
Edna: I do it relatively cause it is easy at times and for the sake of the avatar. That avatar... One day i will get it. argh.
Kitchen: Gives stats improvement at times.
Other then that, i dun restock as much as i do last time. I suck at stocks. All i can do is do Quests ^ and play Featured Games.
Another thing is take note could be Sponser Games. They are easy to play and worth lots of $$$.

I really don't know where my money comes from, I rarely play games and absolutely refuse to restock. *is impatient* 
The only thing I can think of is my little things that I do daily add up.
I do the Faerie Crossword daily (mostly with the hope of increasing my pets' intelligence), do quests one after the other (if over 3k for Taelia, 1k for Esophagor, 300 for edna, or 2k for kitchen, I skip it and come back as soon as the time runs out), and buy/resell scratchcards every 6 hours (I auction Race to Riches for 799, and sell the others in my shop for whatever the going price is). Also, when pricing my items in my shop, I always refresh until I find my wiz line so I can price accordingly, and in doing so I usually come across really cheap stuff so I resell it, even if I only get a 300np profit. (that was a really long sentence o.O)
Anyway, that plus random events really adds up after a while!

I usually do it first off. When you get to 4990, you can win one more time to make it a score of 7990. Highly profitable with a whee bit more effort

You're welcome. I bookmarked that because it helped me get 100k or so a day because it had links to a lot of sponsor games.

There are many easy sponsor games that get you 1k or more after 3 plays. 0.0

You can have faith in the guy that runs that page as he has played more games than anyone else...
And he's better than average at every game.

After being frozen multiple times in my early days, earning NP was a difficult process. Until I got a little better at my favourite games
It took me 2 and a half years (on and off on Neopets) to earn 1.7 million NP ~ to which PPTers benefitted from after my fiance and I called it quits for a while. More recently after returning to the site, it took me a little under two weeks flat to hit 1 million NP.
My ways to earn NP are simple:
Games
Find your niche (favourites) and play them everyday.
I manage 10 - 15k a day alone from my faves.
RSing
Believe it or not, I didn't do ANY RSing before I left Neopets - that entire stockage was from Quest items, Games and Rare Item Codes over a 5-month period. A couple of rare Shop Wiz finds put me over 1.5 million NP within days.
I do restocking every fourth or fifth day now, when I manage to accumulate some spare time. What put me over the million NP mark was a Bludberry, restocked from the Tropical Fruit Shop. Bought at 10k and resold for 120k. 110k profit isn't bad for a beginner
Haven't been able to get very many UB's for a while now since the competition for them went up, but I manage. I usually restock within the wee hours of Saturday/Sunday morning (1am - 4am AEST) when my insomnia refuses to let me get any sleep - I do manage some rare pizzas and plushies during that time.
Shop Wiz/Auctions
As Morningstar pointed out, Shop Wiz finds are surprisingly common. My fiance picked up a Jetsam Transmogrification Potion the other evening for 45k, resold for 215k the same night (putting him over the 750k mark). Enter random things like negg, a random colour, omelette, potion etc - you're bound to find someone selling something for WAY cheaper than everyone else. Codestones, Dubloons and Faeries are also found through this method.
Auctions are a little harder, but I've found at around midday and early evening, you can snipe just about anything of value. I've managed two r87 stamps, 3 petpet beds and various rare books from the Auctions. I don't do this often, though. I do it when I get slightly bored by RSing/Shop Wiz hunting, and I never hold more than 10k on hand - as RE's of varying degrees often strike me unawares (like today with that blasted Kadoatie RE ><)
That's how I earn my lot ^^
Oh and Rare Item Codes - those are fun if you want to take a solid gamble at something. I once sold a Queen Fyora (TCG) when it had just appeared onsite and made 500k out of it. Which reminds me...I need to get some of those booster packs today...*goes to gamble away her soul XD*
