Auctions

I love the auctions but it’s NOT a good habit, and if you are easily persuaded to buy things and LOVE competition, you would be a great person to bid at the auctions; but I suggest you don’t get into the habit because it’s bad. I once spent 60,000 neopoints at the auctions IN ONE DAY! (In fact, in only a little less than five hours.) If you do choose to bid at the auctions, you should carefully watch that no one bids on your item. If someone bids on your item at the last-minute (or second) there is nothing you can do.

Budgeting Wisely by David

When Ogling a certain item or thinking about buying your pet that toy think hard about how it will affect your budget, here are some wise tips to maintaining a healthy budget and keeping your pets happy and full… Neopets DON’T need toys, to eliminate ever needing to have toys and the such simply save up enough to buy each one (or how many you have) a PetPet. They keep your pets happy and the whole NP wasting toy thing is done, A tip though that is sure to keep your pets very happy every now and then Switch PetPet’s and watch the effect. Now if your Neopet Doesn’t like the PetPet you supply it with that is fine (I take the example from a recent incident with an Angelpuss and a Gelert) just sell that Neopet (Or Trade) and with the money acquire a new one.

Patience and Knowledge is the Answer by 12bonbon62

Almost everyone is always hoping for a get rich quick scheme. There is none and Neopets tells you so.

I have found that with patience and knowledge of using the Shop Wizard and watching the auctions, you can get a great idea of what things are selling. Once armed with the knowledge of the market prices, you are ready to start buying items.

Codestones are great investments with a quick turn around. Remember even if you get it for 25 neopoints more than what you paid for it, you still have made a profit! Every neopoint counts. So watch out for good prices on codestones, dubloons and bottled faeries, they are a fairly cheap investments and codestones are common random gift events.
