Bitten green apples, a perfect investment
First starve your pets. Then buy a lot of Bitten Green Apples. Then feed them all to your pets and sometimes you get Wriggling Grubs which can cost up to 2,000 NP each. I got thousands like this and I recommend it to everyone.
Update - I purchased 7 bitten apples, each costing 200nps. A total of 1400nps. And I found 1 Wriggling Grub. Which now sells for 900nps. You make the conclusion.
Re sell scratch cards
Submitted by Lady Gemini
What I do to make extra money is I resell scratch cards. Unless you scratch them, you can get money from all of them. Race to Riches - I resell for 900, but they can go for more
Race to Riches Scratchcard - 900+
Terror Trove Scratchcard - 900+
Faeries Fortune Scratchcard - 1,490+
Peak O Plenty Scratchcard - 11,100+
Icetravaganza Scratchcard - 80,000+
You can only buy one every 2 hours, but if you do it often, you have a huge chance at getting some of the better scratch cards that are worth a lot! I've gotten 2 Icetravaganzas so far!
Chocolate
When There is a restock time go to the Chocolate shop a but any milk chocolate or any other chocolate in there that is shaped likes a pet then sell it. Most Chocolate is worth 1000+ np.
Update - Restocks are now random. So what I would suggest is going into a chat board and just chat there and every 20 - 30 seconds just alt tab to the chocolate factory and hit F5 (refreshes the page) then go back to the chat board and continue chatting J. As soon as you see the shop restocked purchase any of the chocolate items which look like neopets. Most of then sell for roughly 30 - 400 nps in the main shops and can be resold for 100-5000 nps in the users shops. Watch out though, some items are more profitable than others and some you will lose nps on. I feel ashia and korbat chocolate items are the best because there are always 10+ in the restocks and they sell for over 1000nps.
Money making for newbies
Submitted by Steve
I know this may sound like common sense, but for any newbies this is a great money making scheme. First go to the news page to see which products are new to Neopia. These are usually great for HUGE profits. The key to getting these items is to do a couple of things 1. Know restock times 2. Have a program that alarms you to these times (i.e. Alarm ++ for Windows) 3. Turn off load pictures on your browser (this wastes precious seconds you'll need to grab the new stuff) 4. Only use Ctrl-R to refresh the page 5. Use the tab button to put the cursor in the wagering box once the "Haggling for.." window opens (Internet Explorer is better for this, it allows you to overwrite the zero first found in the wagering box) 6. If you do manage to get great new stuff, undersell the competition by about 15%. It may seem like you are losing a lot of money, but you make your profit by selling in quantity while their stock rots on the shelves.
Update - as is previously mentioned restocks are now random.
Use codestones
What I do is go to the Shop Wizard and search for codestones. I only buy the ones that are under 4,000NP, even if they're just 1NP under. Then I put them in my shop and sell them for 4,000NP. At that price, mine sell within 10 minutes. If you're lucky, you'll sometimes find ones for free, or buy them for as low as 50NP. If you do this a couple times a day, you can earn thousands of NP every single day.
Update - codestones now sell for a little under 3000nps. In order to make a profit with this method you will need to purchase codestones under 2500nps and resell them for 2990 (or thereabouts). The Lu Codestone is the exception to the rule, it sells for 1800. So you will need to buy it under 1400 to make a reasonable profit. -
Times when things are cheap
Go to the scratch card game every 20 min. and buy a scratch. When you collect 10 of any kind sell them at the post for way mor the you bought them for I got 90k with one lot
If you have 40K or so to start with, It's good. At around 2-4 PM Eastern Time, everything is cheaper than any other time and there are also a flood of newbies on at this time. During this period, you buy Maps. I can complete Original Treasure Maps for about 35K-40K and sometimes even less if I can get a piece for like 200 from a newbie. After you complete the Map, bring it to the Trading Post. There, I've gotten offers up to 65K-70K in items or NP. If NP, it's great cause you've made your money back right there. If it's items, you simply sell those in you're shop for a low shop wizard price. This can amount up to 30K per map. If you're making a Lab Map, try completing one under 90K. You can get up to 140K or so in trade value for those and you just follow the procedures for the other map. Later in the night, when you have the money, you can buy and sell expensive items. (about 50K-60K per item). Preferably a Lost Desert p/b, or a Fire p/b. Those sell the quickest. Normally the lowest on the wizard is a couple of thousand below any others. You buy those and sell it in your shop for more. This is how I made my all my NPs. It adds up quick and they don't take long to do.
Update - scratchcards can only be bought every 2 HOURS now. The Lab map can now be completed for under 80k if you shop around. I am not sure as to how much you could now sell it for. However, I would presume that you would not get more than 100k for it.
Space maps
A good way to make some profits is to invest in space maps!! Just make good use of the shop wizard. Keep refreshing until you see a map piece for 2799np or under. Then you can sell them for 2950np!! If you can get the whole map for 2799np a piece or less you can trade it in the trading post for even more profits! Don't turn the complete space map into the map game, it is usually a rip off.
Update - The space map is now retired and now sells for roughly 6000nps. However, there are still people who sell it for 2799nps, so if you purchase these you can resell them for 6000nps and make a profit of 4000nps. Also, you can no longer get a space map piece from the treasure hunt game because it has been removed.
The hard way
You play deckswabber 3 times a day and you get 3 "Two Dubblon" coins, if you play so you get over 500 points, each coin you can sell for 3,400, that's 10,200 Np and you get 1,500 for just playing.
Play "Kiko Match" 3 times and get 500 Np each time.
Play "Chute" and if you score over 3000 points you get 1000 Np.
Play "Ice Cream Factory" and get over 3000 points and you'll get 1000 Np each time.
Play "Meerca Chase" and score over 600 points, and you'll get a "Magical Meerca Plushie" and 600 Np.
Spin The "Wheel of Mediocrity" and "The Wheel of Excitement".
Play the "Fruit Machine" and go to the "Shrine".
Play "Tombola" and grab some "Omelette".
Sell all your " Items ".
Buy 1000 Stocks on the "Neopian Stockmarket".
Do this everyday and you have at least 20000 Np. I had a little luck so I won a codestone at " Tombola " and I have found pieces of treasure maps, codestones and faeries. I made 50K on 2 days.
Update - Deckswabber: you can no longer earn Dubloons from deckswabber L. I am not sure about the other games listed. The "Neopian Stockmarket" has been altered so that you can only purchase shares which are trading at 15 NP or above!
Good items
1.) Look for a Nova in the battle magic store. It's about 500 np. Then look for it in the shop wizard. It's about 2,175 np. Hmm...
2.) Look for an Organic Red Apple in the health food store. It can be lowered to 7 np. Then look for it in the shop wizard. It's about 50 np. Hmm...
3.) Omelettes. You get them for free and are selling from 20-200 np.
Update - Some omelettes sell for over 2000nps so before you price anything in your shop check the shop wiz to see what they are selling for. Make sure you refresh it at least 5 times to get the real value of the item.
Quest items
A good tip is to see what quest items are needed by the snow faerie, kitchen and brain tree. Try to buy these items, then sell them for way more then they are worth :)
Update - Try and find those items which are needed to complete the faerie quests (exluding the snow faerie quest) because these are by far the most popular quests on Neopia. In my experience it is never a good idea to actually do any of the quests other than the Faerie quests. The other quests are normally a waste of time and nps.
Timing is everything
I have a lot of luck finding very cheap items between 1 A.M. and 4 A.M. CST. It seems that is when Asia is most busy with neopets. Also, if you can shop then you beat out the people getting up for school and feeding their neopets first :) Mostly cheap food is even cheaper. I often search for churros, tomatoes and donuts. Many times if you hold them they will sell for a lot more later in the day.
Effective use of the bank
Whenever you come into possesion of a sum of Neopoints, that is to say, 4,000 NP or more, deposit at least half of it in your Neopian Bank account. As you go along doing this keep upgrading your account as well. Leave the money in there for a while to earn extra NP on interest. Soon you will have a handy sum of NP in your account. That way if you want an expensive item you shall be able to afford it. WARNING: ALWAYS KEEP NP IN YOUR ACCOUNT NO MATTER WHAT. This is because in case you go broke and need some quick cash.
Update - It is not worth keeping nps in the bank simply to collect interest. I have about 1,000,000nps in the bank and don't get much more than 200nps a day from interest. I store my nps in the bank only so that the monsters which lurk around Neopets cannot steal them.
Update - In your Interesting Tips section, there's a part called 'Effective use of the bank', and someone put an update under it, stating that the only reason they put np in the bank was to keep ghosts from getting to it. Actually, this isn't true, as ghosts can steal np from you when you have none, leaving you with a negative amount! I speak from experience, it happened to me today, and has happened before. I just wanted to say this, because people may think their np is safe in the bank, but really, it's not, because when you go to take some np out of your account, you don't get however much was stolen from you. (Hope you understood that, for example, today, 40 np was stolen from me, so I had -40 np. I went to the bank and withdrew 100 np, but then I only had 60, so in reality, the ghosts were stealing from my bank account.) Hope you got that, and I just wanted to mention it! Thanks :) - Ldfrostbite
Buy and sell books
Submitted by Wanda
My roommate told me that a way to get rich, is to buy and sell books. At first I was doubtful, but then I put it into work, and, let me tell you it does work. But you must be careful not to buy books that people are selling cheaper then the store. You can buy books 400/less and sell them for 600/+.
Buying and selling books works because people want to make their pets smarter. Also because of faerie quests and jobs.
Update - Any item which has a good use, and is sold in the main shops, is good to resell. If an item is useful then people will want to pay good nps for it. However, if an item has no use, like clothing, then no one will be willing to pay for it. -
Lower dubloon denominations
Submitted by butterflygurl_14
I've got an idea for np making. You have to have at least 13,000np for this one, but you'll make about 5000 or 6000 np in profit. What you've got to do is buy a big domination dubloon coin such as a ten dubloon coin which last time I checked cost about 12500np, then go to the golden dubloon, you've got to be patient as many other people crowd it up, go to the first menu and buy something that only costs one dubloon then go to the eat section and eat the item. You will then have all those leftover one dubloon coins to sell, and as one dubloon coins cost about 2500np, you'll make a hefty profit! Enjoy!
Update - This trick does not work. For example, if you obtain a 10 dubloon coin and purchase an item of food at the Golden dubloon for 1 dubloon you will get back a 5 dubloon and two x 2 dubloon coins. This method is not very effective.
50k the easy way
Once you get to something near 50k, it's just gets easier and easier to make neopoints. One trick that I have (oh so original)~ is buying and selling; but there is much more to it than that. Often people talk of making 100 nps, but big whoop right?! Once you have a lot of nps, buy big ticket items like Frost Healing and Grand Lightning Beam, and make sure you are buying the cheapest ones on the wizard. Then sell them for a closer price to the lowest one on the wizard. For example, if you bought Frost Healing for 35k, and most sell for 40k, then sell the Frost Healing in your shop for 39k, making 4k nps. Often you can get even better deals than that~ the trick is that more expensive items get you more profit!
Save save save!
I've been on Neopets for only 5 months, and yet I have over 80,000,000NP. How? Well, it's easy. I was walking around the Catacombs when I stumbled upon an Electric Blue Paint Brush. I looked on the Shop Wizard and saw it was only worth 4,000NP. None of my pets could be painted with it, so I put it in my Safety Deposit Box. 3 months later it was announced retired. The prices on the Shop Wizard were outrageous, ranging from 160,000 to 300,000, so I sold it for 80,000NP.One day later it was sold. Seeing the effect of supply and demand, I quickly lowered all of my prices to half the price of those on the Shop Wizard. Soon enough, all 270 of my items were sold. Feeding my pets with omelet and any winnings from Tombola or The Fruit Machine, I shot up through the top 10 shops. Playing games and collecting interest also helped. I had 1 green, 2 yellows, 1 stone and a Christmas paintbrush. Selling them all for 900-4000NP. I sold all of my Battledome things, seeing as I don't battle. Those went for about 5000 each. Playing for under 1 hour a day, the bottom line is: Save things of no use, you never know :)
Lower dubloons and keeping your pet fed
Go to the Golden Dubloon on Krawk Island with a stack of two dubloon coins. Buy a starter which costs one dubloon (like the caesar salad) and you'll get one dubloon back in change. Result - a happy pet with a full belly AND a one dubloon coin (worth 2800np) which is actually worth MORE than your two dubloon coin (2600np) It also helps solve that little problem with the dubloonomatic thingy only giving out larger denomination coins Just be sure to put your change away before your pets eat their next meal!
Half Price Day
1.First of all you have to know that on the 3rd of every month it is half-price day.
2.You have to have at least 15,000np (you'll be haggling for some pretty expensive items)
3.When it's half-price day, go to the magic shop and buy a morphing potion. If you can't find one keep refreshing the page every 5 seconds or so until you find one.
4.Use advanced haggling to haggle for the item so you get it really cheap, let's say we're haggling for an 8,000 np red chia morphing potion. If you don't know what "advanced haggling" is than go to: http://www.neopets.com/newnt/index.phtml?section=3427&week=20 (it's the first two tips)
5.After advanced haggling we got the potion for 6,000.
6.After 5 days have past, so the people are used to the normal morphing potion prices, sell it in your shop at the normal price but cheaper, let's say we sold the red chia morphing potion for 10,000np.
7.Most likely in a couple of days someone would buy your potion. Which means you make 4,000 np!
After you have a lot of np, try going for the more expensive morphing potions, you'll make tons more np , but it may take awhile to sell, maybe in a week. Hope these tips worked, and get haggling! I mean ADVANCED haggling!
CONCLUSION
The best way to make loads of nps is purchasing items from the main shops and reselling them in your shop for a great profit. When doing this make sure that you do a little research first to see what items sell for the most profit in users shops. Also see which items sell out the fastest and do not go for them because you most likely won't get them. Chocolate is by far the best item because not many people try and buy it from the main shops and it sells for a great profit in Users shops. Also, when the shops are restocked there are loads of chocolate items in the Chocolate factory. If you have Broadband internet you will get a lot more items than if you are on dial up. When you have say 50,000nps upgrade your shop. A shop size of say 100 is good. Anymore is a waste of nps. When you have over 100,000nps from buying and selling chocolate look to the stock market. On the stock market you can easily triple your nps with little risk. At the moment there is no comprehensive stock market guide. However, I am currently working on a guide which will take the risk out of the Neopian Stock Market and inform you on how to best manipulate it for your our Financial Benefit. Unfortunately I am still in the research phase of it and it will not be read for some time :)
Treasure Map
This game has two parts to it. Theres Treasure Hunt and Treasure Map. You play Treasure Hunt to get the pieces for Treasure Map. So this is strictly for Treasure Map. All you have to do is collect 9 pieces of each map, just like a puzzle. Ive gotta admit that the pieces are worth some serious dough in the shop wizard, but you can get them totally free in the Treasure Hunt game. It takes just 10 minutes, and youre on your way to a very rich future. Now, there are nine pieces to each map. Say you collect all nine pieces of a map. Turn them in or sell as a full set? You make the choice.
Last time I collected all nine, I turned them in. I got 6,500 np and two items worth 1,500 each. If you can do the math, thats 9,500 in total for 10 minutes a day. Of course you can always sell them. Original map pieces cost about 4,000 each. 4,ooo times 9 is? Anybody? Thats right. 36,000. Now you can buy that paintbrush youve always wanted. Of course, if you turn them in, youre liable to get that paintbrush without paying.
Now if you do decide to sell them, do it wisely. First, try to collect the full set. People will be more willing to buy if youve got all nine. Now if youve got all nine, you can sell them for a slightly higher price. Say 4,500. Now youre even richer. Of course, this will take you nine days to complete since you can only play Treasure Hunt once a day.
This helps if you have multiple accounts. This way, you can play Treasure Hunt not once but twice, thrice, and so on, depending on how much accounts you have. Imagine what you can do with 3 accounts? That means 3 map pieces a day and a full set in three days. That means up to 40,000 every three days! Now thats a very cool deal. Also, Treasure Hunt mostly gives out space maps, but if you manage a lab map, theyre worth about 9,000 each. Thats 81,000 every 3 days! Why you can by a millionaire by the end of this month!
Quick Neopoints
Youll never believe this but the best way to being rich is being poor. I know, I know. I sound crazy. But Ive tested it myself, and got over 7,000 in a few minutes. See, You can have as much neopoints as you want in the bank. But only carry a single digit about with you, and youll see the random events popping up. Codestones, potions, why I even got a lottery ticket one (not that I won)! I got a codestone(3,400), a fire potion (600), and a fire faerie (3,400) and approximately 5 minutes. And I was half- broke, carrying around 6 neopoints.
Buy Cheap Paintbrushes
Since there is many paintbrushes that aren't retired and sell for good prices, buying lots of them and putting them into your SDB is a big tip. After a while, at least one will go retired and you can sell it for a big amount that somebody will be willing to pay for! This may take a while, so remember, patience is everything!
One persons opinions
A simple way to be rich is just to follow what I did.
I've been on neopets for about 3 and 1 half months and I already have 270,000. What you need to do is this:
1. Open up your own shop and sell everything that you get except for items that will be worth more in the future.
2. Play free games or cheap games such as tombola, coltzans shrine, fruit machine, wheel of mediocrity, and the wheel of excitement.
3. Buy a scratch card as much as you can, and if you get a faeries fortune or better than that sell it in your shop. If you got lower than that scratch card, then just scratch it, good outcomes are possible. Here is the order: race to riches, terror trove, faeries fortune, icetravaganza, and etc..
4. Check every shop in the marketplace for rare items such as neggs in the food shops, they are always sold chaeaper than in the shop wizard.
5. If there is an item that is cheap such as lipstick look in the shop wizard and not in the marketplace. The marketplace sells for about 118 for a lipstick while the wizard is 10 neopoints.
6. Don't be fooled by people who have so much stock they sell their items overpriced to confuse you. Make sure you find the cheapest price in the shop wizard, and keep refreshing until you find the cheapest.
7. Since neopets is the only website that I get on daily I recommend that if you like Neopets good enough that focus on it than other websites that waste your time.
8. Anytime that a rare item is released at Limited Too GO GET IT a.s.a.p. They have rare item codes on them and you get some much np. I got a code for a magical glowing carrot and sold it for 99,999.
9. Become friends with people who have been on Neopets long that are rich and are friendly to you.Be kind to those who arent as good as you, they might become successful and help you in return.
10. Check the chat area or trading post for good deals made by newbies such as rare items for just some neopoints and then make an offer.
I hope that these instructions have helped you become wealthier and happier on neopets and enjoy your time!
Negg wise
If you get a pink negg, don't give it to the negg faerie! SELL IT! It is worth 5 negg points that means that you can only get a happiness negg which sells for 900np when the pink negg sells for 4500np and the happiness negg only makes your pet happy when you can let play with a fuzzle (usually 40-150np).
Game wise
There are many guids but there are only a few things how you can keep getting rich very fast. The secret is intems! No don't stop playing the games! But i figured out that you get more for rare items and paintbrushes then for npz. What should you do? I typed two guides one for the newbies and one for people who have their account 2 days or longer.
If you have a new account
1. You start of with account. 200np
2. Create pets 1-4 50-100np
3. You can't play the wheel in faerie land, tombola, trading post and chat board now. You have to be signed up for 3 hours to trade and chat, you have to be signed up for 2 days to play the wheel and play tombola.
4. Go play games: meerca chase, destruct o match, carnival of terror.
5. Then go look for cheap auctions or cheap codestones in the shop wiz.
6. Sell them for more and have profit!
7. Buy from your profit cheap paintbrushes, electric (not blue, yellow, christmas etc.)
8. Make trades some people give more then they are worth!
If you already started for 2+ days
1. Play almost all the games everyday
2. Play tombola, both wheels, fruit machine and shrine.
3. Go sell your items (if you have those) that aren't worth much.
4. Buy cheap rare items from them like pbs and stuff
5. Trade them on the trading post
I hope this helps it made me 20k in 3 days and a lot of paintbrushes and other rare items!
More game wise
First of all you need to pick a few games your good at here's a list of game I play and the money I get from them.
(Per Day)
Ice Cream Factory 3,000NP
Pterattack 3,000NP
Meerca Chase 650NP
Korbat's Lab 850np
Ice Cream Factory 1,000NP
Bumper Cars 700NP
Cliffhanger 1,250NP
Mummy Maze 750NP
Poogle Solitare 750NP (Can't play everyday)
That already 10,000NP
Take jobs that pay over 4500NP although can give you a profit of 12,000 with the time bonus keep in mind you can only have four or five I make about 20,000
Finally I play Slots and diceroo which can give you items for a shop. Slots can pay up to 100,000NP but you have to do it everyday. Dice-a-roo is good for items to put in your shop which will help make money.
The esophogor
Maybe most of u guys know this but I'm sharing this to those that really dunno and I think that these things should be share to all playing neopets. As u know that the key to solving the brain tree's quest is to help the esophagor find his foods twice but what happened if u didn't accept the brain tree's quest.. u r most likely to be rewarded a junk by the esophagor. Junks worth 10-600nps, so most people didnt really cared about the esophagor but I recently discovered that the junk he gave out turned out to be GOLD.. Not really gold but useful, expensive items. I tested it & in 20 times you helped him, 2-3 times he gave u good items.. I have earned 2 codestones in a row, a white chocolate elephante, expensive furniture & others. Although it's neither profitable nor sure win, it's just a game of luck. Just 1 last reminder, consider his help if it's less than 1k/1000nps.
Combinations
I have found that a lot of combinations can make you a lot of money... for example, you can usually buy a Rainbow Negg for 5000-6000 (sometimes people even sell it for 1000 if you get really lucky) and people sell Vanilla Shakes for a lot less than that. (I cant check right now... neopets is downed...) But when you combine the two, you get Rainbow Vanilla Negg (or something like that...) which sells for around 7500... you gain money slowly, but its easy and efficient. Try to find other combos that work even better! I am!
Here's a great way to raise your NPs!
First, you have to join a guild, the more members, the better.
Second, get a few cheap, but good items from the main shops. Be sure they're not useless! Get cheap food, maybe a book or two. (The best times to do this are around 11:00 PM - 4:00 AM NST. Or on the third of every month, which is half price day.)
Third, go the the trading post and look through the 20 newest trades. Make offers on the trades with over about 8 items that the owner has no wish list on, or the wish list is 'anything'. Do this until you are out of the items you bought for this.
Fourth, play some games to get cash and spend it ALL on making your shop as big as you can. Put the leftovers in the bank, both to collect interest, and to keep it from getting stolen by ghosts.
Fifth, put all the items you don't want to keep for yourself in the shop, and everything you want to keep in your safety deposit box. This will keep your items from getting stolen.
Sixth, go to the shop wizard and look up EVERY item in your shop at least 3 times. Price your items 1NP below the lowest price you find.
Lastly, go to the guild message board and announce that you are having a sale at your shop! This will bring in a LOT more than you think! I gained about 6k from this on my first try.
Another tip for this is to go to the auctions really late and bid on plushies, chocolate, etc. that is about to go off bidding. I usually bit on the 40-60 items, because then I have just enough time to get the last bid. Then, sell them in your shop as well during the sales. Also, you might want to switch guilds every so often to get fresh customers and such. Good luck!
Specific tips for shop owners
Meh.. just thought id add my own specific tips for shop owners, use the shop wizard to your advantage and keep refreshing for cheap prices (newbies are cute like that) and especially buy up as many faeries as you can at cheap prices.
Buy light faeries up to 2850np and sell for 2890ish
Air faeries up 2800np and sell for 2876
Dark " up to 2900np and sell for around 2999
Water " up to 2900 and sell for 2999
Fire " up to 2950 and sell for around 3020
Also battle items are very popular, esp. sword of domar, buy it at 600 or less and sell it at 650+ buy in bulk and a huge profit can be made
Buy most of the battle potions on shop wizard, and again find the cheapest prices and increase them in your shop (not too much or they wont sell...compare to the average prices in other shops)
You don't always have to use the shop wizard, sometimes things are increased in price too much, you can also sometimes get faeries, swords, good battle equipment at very cheap prices. its better to have a fast connection though as they go quickly.
That may not seem like a huge profit gain, but there are some very cheap faeries and you can sell them for a lot more...after awhile you can start making up to 10K profit a day if you buy them in bulk.
Check the auctions regularly as there are people clearing their accounts out and have cheap items.
And also check the price change list, keeping up to date with what people want to buy and what's no longer being sold.
ta da.. hehe.. .hoped it helped :P

This is how I get all my petpets. Go to the adoption center look at the petpets copy and paste the name then click on the name to look at don't click on picture because that's to buy then scroll down and check if there is a petpet. Every 5 pets I find a petpet then I look in the wiz to see how much they sell for and I buy then and you can make around 5000np per petpet get four and that's around 20,000nps minus how much u paid to get rid of and to get the pets.
Paintbrush is the way to go
This is what I do, and I have made up to 200k in a day this way. Depending on what you buy, you will need above 30k or so. Not a totally original idea, but it works- Buying & Reselling Paint Brushes. :) First, go to the Shop Wizard and type in "Paint brush." This way, it will look for every paint brush. Then, keep refreshing until you find a good deal. One time I got a Starry P/b for 8500nps (later sold for 77,000) and a Tyrannian P/b for 55,000 (later traded for a lost desert p/b, which sold for 113,500nps). Now that you've got all that np, put all but 100k or so if you are continuing looking for Deals, but leave at least 20k with you at all times so that you can still buy items. Then at the end of the day, put all your np in the bank and write down somewhere your total NP to see how much you make in a day. Tomorrow morning, collect interest BEFORE you withdraw 20k or so, and repeat the process (if you want, of course)!
Lot's of points with little
Ok to start this off all you really need is around 20k as a good starter and a good connection to further help your cause as well as some patience. First off, this is mainly done by the auctions which is why you need the patience. What you have to do is go to your bank and withdraw all your neopoints or if you have some more then 20 or 30k will do just fine. Then go to the auctions and search for Secret Laboratory Map. When you get there, check out the prices and you will see a lot of low prices for the maps. the trick is the bid on the ones with like 1 hour or less left to bid and like under 2000np starting price. When you bid once, dont worry about matching someone else's price until like the final 5 or 10 seconds and make sure your the last bidder. See, when you bid for something like that, it goes a lot less than what the actual price is on shop wiz so you sell it off there and you make a bundle of neopoints for really not doing that much! u can grab pieces for as little as 4000 neopoints and sell it for as much as like 11.5k it's that simple! The reason why Secret Lab map is chosen is because it has such a huge price range that people start it off too low and it never climbs high enough to match the shop wiz price so you make a good profit off of it. Also, to further help your cause I suggest going at late hours so that most Americans aren't on which will really help u achieve your goal. I have not tested it with other items but I'm sure it can work for others so you try your own and see what happens.
Neggery insurance?
Recently, my NP was dwindling (because I had made a very bad move in playing Treasure Hunt and getting almost nothing out of it). I was down to my last dollars. I was considered legally poor (having under 2000 NP)! Well, what's someone to do when you are broke, a war is coming up, and you have no money to invest in codestones, weapons, etc?
Well, about 3 months ago, I had gone on a shopping spree for Pink Neggs. Yes, Pink Neggs. I took an awful lot of them into the Neggery, exchanged them for tokens, and along the line, I forgot I had those tokens in there. When I remembered that I had them, and came back to look, it turned out that I had 77 tokens in there! I bought the most expensive Negg from their store w/ the tokens (and a few others with the change), put it up for sale in my store, and the next day, I went to take the NP out of the till, and BOOM! 61,000 NP overnight!
If you want to be smart, and save up just in case of a Neopian Depression, War, etc, Negg tokens are the way to go! They stay in the Neggery, therefore the tokens can not be stolen from the Pant Devil, and you don't have to click a picture of one in your Safety Deposit Box 77 times to get them all out! It's like no-fail insurance! So, if you can spare it, invest in Negg Tokens!
Buying low, Selling high
Make yourself a shop (doesn't have to be big), and use the Shop Wizard to find bargains that you can resell. Instead of looking for a specific item, use a keyword that applies to lots of different things (for example, 'cake', 'negg', 'chocolate' or 'faerie'). Under Search Items, choose 'containing my phrase'. When you hit the Search Shops button, it will randomly find an item with that keyword in it.
What you're looking for is an item whose cheapest price is far below all others listed. If you don't see it on the first try, hit 'back' on your browser and push the Search button again. It'll find a different random item. You won't always find something, but when you do, it can pay off. I got a Mynci Surprise Ice Cream for 1000 NP when all the others on the list were 10,000 NP or more! I put it in my shop and sold it for 9000 NP very quickly.
This plan relies on the fact that people will get an item and sell it without checking to see how much it's worth. You can often find items sold so cheaply that you can list it lower than any other price on the Wizard and still make a profit. That's the method I've always used to stock my shop. You can make money slowly by selling low-end items (in the 200-500 NP range) but if you find valuable stuff you can hit the jackpot.
