Bubbleline Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 As I'm sure all of you know, today is half price day. For a lot of people (including me) that means it's restocking day! Time to buy as many books/stamps/clothes/food as possible to resell in our shops for a profit. Well, I'm still fairly new to the restocking business, but I think I've gotten the hang of it mostly. Well, when the clothing shop restocked, I saw 2 wigs to buy. At first I went for what I first laid my eyes on, which was some kind of ixi wig, but then I saw it...the rare Cute Dark Wig in it's natural habitat. I went in for the kill....realizing too late that my hesitation allowed another hunter to get it first! Darn you other wig! I always try to go for the wigs because they seem to sell well, and there are a few wigs I want for myself, but I'm known to freeze and not think fast enough when confronted with choices and that was my downfall. It really kinda makes me sad now. My wigs are now in the hands of someone else. *sigh* But that is the nature of restocking. Anyone else wanna share their painful close calls and near misses? I'm just gonna be crying in a corner for a while. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 happens a lot to me too .. i buy an item which gives me 500 np profit and then notice the super rare item haha ... today i missed a book called "lost desert altador cup media book" or something like that - it sells for 70k - and clicked the one next to it !! BUT i managed to restock a "gourmet cooking for your pet" so I'm quite content .. I didn't venture into the Stamp shop yet ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbleline Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 The stamp shop kills me everytime. So Fast! I swear some people have lightning fast fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leina Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Stamp shop used to be so difficult for me. And it's annoying to restock there cause I can only see up to r94 lol. But I managed to snag a few good stamps today before getting rs banned. :D Thankfully I have a really fast computer. I was a hopeless rser on my laptop though. Those things are so hard to restock on. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masaryk Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I always have a terrible time restocking on Half Price Day. I either forget about it entirely, or I don't have time for restocking. On the off-chance that I do remember it, I'm prone to missing out on the items I want the most, because I'll see another decent item first.

laurshep Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Reminds me of every time I try to get the Chocolate avatar :( *cries* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxen Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I used to restock a fair bit, but then I found out that people use programs so I sort of gave up on that :P. I used to restock in the food shops and I was pretty quick, you just need practice. I tended to look at the prices more than the items themselves. If something was 5 or 10,000 neopoints I'd buy it (unless I knew that item wasn't worth that but it was usually more). I'd also zoom out of the page so I could see everything upon restock. Near misses really got to me so that's also another reason I stopped, lol. I cant remember any specifically but it was annoying XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbleline Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Reminds me of every time I try to get the Chocolate avatar :( *cries* Trying for the chocolate avatar is gonna give me a heart attack one of these days. I saw a draik sugar skull once, but i was too slow to get it. I almost cried when I saw what it was worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost cried when I saw what it was worth. Yes I'm still trying to obtain that avatar as well as the Faboo one from the clothing shop.. You almost have to be on the shop page for a long time and refresh like crazy to have any luck but I can't do that all day. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it as hard as the chocolate avatar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetly_sour Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Ditto on the chocolate avatar! 5 years and waiting <3 I had some good ice lolly snags from the super happy icy shop but I didn't have much luck elsewhere. Good thing I make most of my nps from games XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Kakata Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I managed to grab a few bargains, including a Light Faerie Mushroom (!! o_O) and last restocking day I got a Big Beefy Hot Dog for 5,000 (worth 2 mil). Mostly I stick to Hubert's Hot Dogs, Grooming Parlour and the Bakery, with the Faerie Foods shop open in another tab as well. Snipers are the bane of Neopia at times -_-;; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassia Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Haha I am completely useless at restocking...usually when I try, I end up missing the good items, and buying things that don't actually make money :sad02: I was really lucky with the Faboo avatar though, because the first time I went into the shop, I saw an expensive item, and bought it =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annikarose Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I used to be a big HPD RSer... now that I do it most days, I find half-price day to actually be harder for me since it kind of throws me off of what I should buy, and there's so many people out that it's hard to get anything. I think the best thing I snagged on the third was a Negg from the food shop xD Those near misses are rough...I RS at Brightvale Potions, and I have missed potions that sell for millions. I need to practice typing five-and-six number prices too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest I just shrugged and used on my pets. I got lucky with the Faboo avvie, too. The last half price day, I got it without even knowing there was an avatar.

I need to practice typing five-and-six number prices too. I've missed some really valuable things as well without even realizing it until later. Like the wig I missed, it's so rare that I can't even find a price for what it sells for. :O And I missed a book that was worth 400,000+np and didn't realize it until I searched it later. I was so sad. :rolleyes_anim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperAttackPea Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 yeah, I rs on hpd as well. I used to rs on non-hpd days but nowadays, no one buys dungs from shops anymore and the shops just keep getting clogged with dung and nothing rses. Anyways, Iast hpd, I got a lot of items I saw, so I made quite a lot. The april hpd, for some reason, I only got like 20% of the item I attempted, oh well ... I was rsing the same shops too :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
