Buying Rare Items Quickly by Audrey Fix

Here’s a guide submitted by ~*I.M.a.Newbie*~ Guild it has tips on how to get the item you want on the shop wiz before it’s sold out. I’m sure you noticed the shoppe wizard lists items but with different values, like this:

Well tons of people want to sell a yenegg at 100K! Well I wouldn’t go to Sally or ally’s Shoppe if I were you! Why? Because it’s the most likely to sell out of yeneggs first because it’s listed first and therefore is the cheapest store where everyone (except smart little you) would go to get a yenegg! So *most likely* this is what will happen.

How to Distinguish a Newbie From a N00b by captianconspicuious

You’ve probably heard of the terms “N00b” and “Newbie”. But what is the difference?

N00b – A new member who is:
Someone who begs for items;
Someone who is annoying;
Someone who uses chat speak so much that you can not read a single word;
Someone who uses all CAPS SO IT LOOKS LIKE THIS; or
Someone who says things like “GIV3 M3 A P41INT BRSH O 1 W1Ll R3pRt YU!!!!!!”

Newbie – A new member who:
Someone who is nice and considerate;
Someone who asks politely about neopets;
Someone who does not beg for everything; or
Someone who will type legibly.

Trading Post – Hints and Tips to Happy Trading by biggerhips

If you were wondering why I have wrote this article it is because I have been getting fed up with people offering me items on the trade which are no where near that real price. Also when I have been searching the trades I see a lot of trades which have no description so I have no idea what they would like or even if they want anything (some people do store things there). So to sort it out, and to give me a chance to calm down a bit, I have wrote this article to help those on both sides of the trades.

Reverse Inflation Theory by Anonymous

I have a tip for lowering prices on the shop wizard permanently or for a long time. Take into account that this tip is only for the kind soul that would like to lower prices for those of us who are not blessed with riches. Also, this is purely business techniques and not a cheat. So join me, and let us reverse inflation!

First, you acquire many of one item. Next, make about 6-10 extra files. Put at least 4 of the item with each file. What you do is put that item into the extra files’ shops for really low prices (lower than the “norm”). Each account should have a lower price than the next. The more items you have in total, the better this will work, DRAMATICALLY! What this trick will do is make people who are about to put that item into their shop think “Woah! I have to put my price lower than this guy’s price, or else I won’t sell anything!”. When they think that, a humongous department store kind of shop will come along and do the same thing. This will actually be the same trick that you are doing, just you aren’t providing the items. Since it is a big department store, it will restock, and restock, and restock, etc. People will then look and think that it is the actual price and lower their price to lower than it. This process will most likely not repeat itself infinitely, since many department stores do not lower their prices to be able to sell in bulk.
