Individual Shop Tips

Intro

Restocking is a neopian term that refers to buying items from main shops and selling them to other users on the shop wizard for a profit. It is one of the most fun and effective ways to make money on neopets, and I have enjoyed many afternoons of signing on to a full shop till ;). Read on, dear neopians, to find out exactly how to accomplish this.

Preparation

Because neopet restocking is such a competitive task, speed is an important factor in restock success. The following is a list of helpful tips in preparing yourself and your computer for restocking:

• Browser: If you are currently using Internet Explorer, I urge you to switch to Moxilla Firefox. Firefox is a much faster browser on any computer; it is the browser I use and I swear by it. If you don't know what Firefox is or where to download it, information can be found here.
• Applications: Do not use other applications when restocking. Do not. Use. Other. Applications. If you must have music, there are these great obselete things called cd players that work wonders, and don't slow down your computer ;)
• Refreshing Personally, I click the shopkeeper to refresh the shop page. Some people believe the F5 key is faster, but test it on your computer to find which works best.
• Neopoints It is a good idea to keep a good sized amount of neopoints on hand for those unbuyables that restock occasionally. I usually restock with about 70-100k at a time, but whatever your budget allows will do.

Step-by-Step

The first step to restocking is refreshing. Refreshing is probably the least exciting part of restocking, and it is the longest :(. I usually have two shop windows open, but you may want to start out with one. A good shop to begin restocking at is the Book Shop (this is one place I personally restock.) For this example, that is the shop I will be using. Because restocks are now random, I refresh my page every 5 seconds or so, but 10 or even 15 seconds is perfectly fine. Most of the time the shop will be empty, but here is a screen with an item in the shop:



Clicking on the item will make a popup appear. Click ok to move on (remember to be quick!)



Now it's time to haggle! For speed reasons, type in repeating numbers like 333 or round down (300). You may not make as much money reselling this way, but if you haggle for more than a screen the item will probably be out of stock, and then you will make nothing :(. Here is an illustration:



If you took too long, you will get this screen telling you the item is out of stock. Don't worry, there's always another chance!



You probably won't get anything on your first few restocking endeavors, but don't give up! Restocking becomes much easier as you practice!

How Not to Get Frozen

• Do not use/create/link to an autobuyer or autorefresher. This gives you an unfair advantage and will get you iced.
• Do not refresh every second for the rest of your life. Actually, this one is a lie because you won't get frozen, but you will get restock banned, which is the state of not being able to restock for a while because you refreshed too quickly.
• Don't block images of the crappy stuff in shops. I actually don't know how to do this, but you will get frozen if you do it. So... don't.
• Side accounts are for side account things. Restocking is not a side account thing. Thus, you don't restock on your side accounts. Ever.

Ok I'm done...

By now you should know the basics of restocking, and not getting frozen for restocking, and I gave Moxilla free advertising. So you should be set for the real world, eh? Anyway, have fun on all your restocking ventures, and good luck!
