You mean gawdawful_books? He has a size 3500 shop, I think. I don't know what you would do with that kind of money, besides save for really good BD weapons, etc. Don't forget, that is probably a tiny fraction of the money he makes. However, in a shop like that, you have to constantly re-invest your profits in order to keep it stocked.
By the way, I edited my equation from above. It turns out that upgrading your shop costs 4 times as much as I thought it did! Silly me. The cost of going from a size 1 to size 437 is 19073000 NP (!) That's a lot of NP. In case you're interested, it took gawdawful_books 1225350000 NP to get a size 3500 shop, not taking into account random events, etc. I'm still wondering if there's a random event that doubles the size of your shop.
To get a shop in the Haunted Marketplace (IMHO the best place because the Shop Wizard is hard to pick out), you need 2146000 NP, a much more reasonable goal.
Yeah I meant him - but he is very efficient at his job. I was once stocking when he was cleaning my shop. He cleaned it nearly as fast as I restocked from my SDB. Very impressive.
About reinvesting back in his shop, I think nowadays at the state he is in, he will very easily double his neopoints.
For example, take out 500 thousand NP. Go to Wiz, search for a particular scratchcard, say race to riches. Whatever list comes up, clear up all the shops on that list which have 50-100 scratchcards on them (there are always 3-4 such in most of the lists). This will take him 4-5 minutes atmost. So he spends 400 * 750 NP average each for Race to Riches = 300,000 NP. Within a week, he sells it for 400 * 2000 NP = 800,000 NP. Or rather 500K profit a week for 4-5 minutes work. Repeat it for the remaining 6 scratchcards, and some petpets, etc. I can see him making 5-10 million a week very easily, maybe by less than 4 hrs work.
I can see myself making around 600K-800K in around 20-25 hrs work a week, that too if my half-price restocking is upto the mark.
