the Shop Wizard is the BEST way to make Neopoints and anyone who tells you differently is lying
in this section you will learn how to find the TRUE Value of any item
you will learn how to check prices
you will learn how to refresh the wizard over and over again
you will learn how to make more neopoints than you will know what to do with
you will learn that many people sell items for the incorrect price because they did not check the items TRUE value
you will learn about the value listed on an item when you click on it in your items
I will also tell you the best items to do searches on to make neopoints
you will see screen shots of actual shop wizard searches that I have done
by the end of this section you will be a master of the Shop Wizard

the shop wizard does searches for any items and lists the cheapest ones
everytime you refresh the screen during a search it searches a different area in the shops
you must do at least 8-10 searches to get the true value of an item
refreshing more than once is needed because one area might have an item for 20,000 NP but if you refresh more other areas might have the same item for 12,000 NP
some people say refreshing the wizard is boring, well then don't learn this section go play games for the next 2 years to make 1 million neopoints
Lets start off by explaining the value of an item when you click on it in your items

The screen shot below is a screen shot of a Basic Golden Nerkmid
As you can see the "Est. Value" is priced at 550 NP
well hold on to your seats because this item is really selling for 73,000 NP
so DO NOT ever sell your items for what the EST. Value is because it might be different
this is how people make millions from people who misprice items or LOSE millions from giving items away for DIRT CHEAP
everyday people are selling stuff incorrectly and all you have to do is find those items
so lets go on to the next step

this is the way to find the TRUE value of any item
these 2 screen shots below will help me explain how to search for an item and refresh the screen
to search for a "mau codestone" for example; in the white box below type in the name and select "identical to my phrase" to only search for the mau codestone
you then press "Search Shops" -- then you will get the picture that shown below to come up with the prices in that area of Neopia (I cut off the usernames a bit on purpose)
but this does not mean you are finished your search now have to refresh the screen 8-10 times to verify the price is correct
to refresh the screen just press the "F5" key on your keyboard and then hit the "R" key.
this will bring up more people selling the mau codestone. Then do it again and again until you are satisfied with the price
so lets goto the next step

****** IMPORTANT ******
If you do a search on an item and everyone in the Wizard is listing it as 100,000 or more the ONLY way to find it TRUE Value is to search for the item in the Auctions or Island Trader and see what others are asking for it

now that you have learned how to refresh now use this to make tons of neopoints
remember that when you refresh in the shop wizard after refreshing a few hundred times it will state that you have freshed too many times. This is not a warning but you will have to wait until it lets you refresh again. It will tell you how long you have to wait. You are allowed one set of refreshes per hour.
so search for a item that you want to get cheap and keep refreshing check the "top person" on the list because they will be the cheapest
when you see an item mispriced go QUICK into their shop and buy it because trust me mispriced items go really fast you will only get like 50% of the ones you see
now you take this item you just bought and put it into your shop for the PROPER TRUE value price
the screen shots below are actual screen shots of my searches finding mispriced items within a 20 minute period. I made 100,000 NP in 20 minutes
now lets goto the next steps and find out what the best items for search for are

you can search for any items you like but start out small if you do not have much money (faeries and codestone are good)
you want to search for items that people get in games and for random event. Listed below are the most common items received
all 10 different codestones (mau, bri, eo, vo, main, tai-kai, lu, har, orn and zei)
all 6 types of faeries (Fire, Water, Air, Light, Dark and Earth)
piece of a treasure map
basic golden nerkmid
normal golden nerkmid
secret laboratory map
spooky treasure map
paintbrushes

you are now ready to go out and make tons of neopoints
remember a few things
never sell anything before checking its TRUE value
always double check the price you are listing it for in your shop. I have mistakes as well and forgot one "0" instead of 50,000 i sold it for 5,000 :(
always have fun and enjoy yourself
