Haggling For Dummies

by allanathelioness57

Haggling is quite simple, IF you know how to do it. For instance, using the Shop Wizard to get Faeries is just plain STUPID, as they are overpriced by thousands of NP, therefore, the logical way to buy Faeries is at Kauvara's potion shop, where Faeries are never any more then 900NP.

NEVER EVER IN YOUR LIFE should you buy clothes, CDs or anything from the gift shop, until, of course, the is an announcement that you will actually be able to use them. There is one exception to this rule. It is ok to buy them if they are UNDER 5NP.

Top 5 ways to save NP

1. Never send your score in any game unless you have over 100 points, except Ice, Faerie and Uber Faerie Caves, in which case send your score if you get over 5 points

2. DO NOT BUY FAERIES FROM THE SHOP WIZARD!!!!!!

3. No matter how cheap they are, omelettes are always cheaper at the giant omelette

4. Don't buy Plastic Butter Knives because instead of doing damage in the Battledome, they just break

5. Don't waste your Neopoints on PetPets

NEVER buy Healing potions from the Water Faerie. She over prices them quite a bit. You can save yourself the trouble of going all the way to Faerieland to buy over priced potions (some of them which your pet won't even like and refuse to take), by going to buy a healing potion (I, II and III) from Kauvara.

Top 5 ways to LOSE NP

1. Having someone break into your account and donating your NP to the Money Tree

2. Buying an over priced item without knowing what it's worth

3. Giving it away

4. Not reading this article, therefore not knowing how to haggle wisely

5. Letting someone Neosit for you

By now you are probably asking, I thought this was supposed to teach me how to haggle wisely, well, now it will.

Haggling is quite simple, IF you know how to use it… just kidding!!! Try starting with a good, round number, (1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, etc.), then go up by 5s, 10s, 15s, even 20s. In no time, you'll have gotten the item you wanted at a low, reasonable price.

Top 6 ways to haggle wisely:

1. Do everything this article says

2. NEVER offer what the shopkeeper is asking for

3. ALWAYS have at least 100 NP in the bank in case you don't haggle wisely and go broke

4. If you are a Newbie, don't try to get everything at once

5. Neomail me if you have any trouble what-so-ever when it comes to haggling

6. Look out for: HTML For Dummies (coming soon).
