How to Become a Rich Neopian by Having a Successful Neopets Shop by zephyr2k

It has been said time and time again that the best way to become a NeoMillionaire is through restock and then selling at your shop. True! But not completely. One can only buy a limited quantity of items through restocks. After your shop is size 30, you probably are having a difficult time with fully restocking your shop if you put your items on the shelves right after restocks.

So what do I do? I make my shop sell similar items. I prefer selling plushies. There are many collectors out there and don’t really mind buying plushies which are a little bit overpriced. Just don’t overdo it of course.

Owning and Running a Successful Neopets Shop by sss_brunette_qt_sss

1. Opening Your Shop

Dont rush into opening your shop. You could take all of the time you need. The best time to open a shop is when you have above 5,000 neopoints because then youll have enough to restock at least once in 2 weeks.

2. Greeting Message

Your greeting message should be something welcoming and not commanding. For example, Come in and buy something, or else… is not a good greeting message. Along with messages that beg people to donate and messages that sound cheesy, like, Buy, Buy, Buy! A good greeting message is something like, Welcome, come in and look around. Or just simply, Welcome to my shop Good greeting messages are short and simple.

How to Sell Effectively on Neopets by Alex K

Have you ever had items priced at the same reasonable prices that the ones in the shop wizard are, but it just sits there for weeks with out anyone buying it? Just because you price the item slightly lower than everything on the shop wizard, doesn’t mean people will buy it. Rarely does anyone sell an item worth over 10,000 np. This is because the items worth might be high, but since it costs so much no one will buy it (and few have enough NP to even afford it if they wanted it). So, if you find a paint brush on the floor that’s worth, say, 20,000np, but you didn’t actually pay any Np to get the item. So you might want to sell it for 19,000np, (since the ones in the shop wizard are priced at around 20,000, people will want to buy yours, right? Wrong) but find that it just sits there forever. Since you didn’t pay anything for it in the first place, by selling it for 5np you would still be making more money. The same goes with buying cheap food at the shops. You buy a tomato in the shops for 3 Np. You want to sell it, and look it up in the Wiz for a reasonable price (they sell for 50np). That is outrageous, considering you’re paying around 15 times as much. So how much do you sell your tomato for if you bought it for 3np? You sell it for 5 or 6 np. Take it from us…in our shop we will usually sell food items for around 5 np, or about 2 more np than we got them for in the shop. You may say that that’s stupid because we only make 2 np total profit, but if you but cheap stuff like that and keep selling it like that for a while (I our account we have close to 800 items, 800,000np and 4 extremely strong pet, and we’ve been playing for about 5 months) you’ll get tons of np and your items will go quickly. Trust us, it seems stupid, but it works. The whole point of this: In order to sell an item quickly, sell it much much cheaper than the shop wizard prices 🙂 – Alex K.

Guide to Selling Retired Items by Kompukid10

Recent studies show that now is a time when neopets is introducing a lot of new items when ever neopets creates a new item they must retire an old item, for example red wine used to be a pretty common item now try and find it on the shop wiz. It is hard to find because many people discarded it. After it was retired people sold it for millions.

Now neopets isn’t going to retire an item like fire fire pants on fire that would be a big deal but items like bottle of black sand. So when you think about it the sdumbest items can make you a fortune. But one thing not to do is what many people try to do. Don’t sell it right away take a look at what the current prices are. You have to do this the right way there’s an old saying “milk it for what its worth.” That doesn’t mean keep it in your deposit box for three years. You’ve got to see the prices are the prices going down should I sell it are they going up should I wait?

How to Run a Successful Neopets Shop by Mike

Neopets shop window

As you may know getting neopoints now-a-days isn’t that easy! Sure you can spin the wheels, and play Tombola, or fruit machine, and unless you have extremely good luck that can’t make your rich! One of the best ways to make neopoints is building a shop! It’s cheap to build and it is very quick and effective.

At first I thought this would be a lot of work but I was surprised on how easy it was! In the shop area click on the little shop icon to get started. There you can put in a shop description, shop name, and over 200 different shop owner pictures! The problem is what are you going to sell?
