    Alrighty, it's been years since I've played Neopets on a regular basis and about a year since I've actually been bothered to do any autobuying and I'm thinking about getting started again just for fun. Does anybody have any tips?

    All I have is two 6.5 year old accounts with absolutely nothing on them except 500NP between the two of them.

    500NP is definitely not enough! lol.

    I'm assuming that you want to use one or both of these accounts instead of buying a new shell?

    I think the one advantage that you have is that your account looks respectable and trust-worthy... or at least, old. It's a lot easier to get other players to take you seriously. You can definitely use this to your advantage. Maybe spend a week or so playing games to earn some money, browse around the site, lurk at the Trading/Auctions chat to see what people are buying & selling, get on some avatar lending chains, making it look like you are coming back from a long hiatus and now re-investing in Neopets again. Once you have a few hundred thousands, you can start RSing legitimately or ABing.

    One caveat, though, if these accounts are obviously linked (shared the same IP, e-mail address, etc.), you might not want to use both. You might get iced for using multiple accounts before you get caught for cheating. Also, maybe it's better to buy a newer shell and use the older accounts as your "legitimate profiles" to sell stuff.

    Hey! I'm here, too. Right above you! Why didn't I get this offer? I want that Wand of the Dark Faerie to help me get my footing. :lol:

    Sorry for going rogue on your thread; I hope my "meaty" post before this zeroes it out.

    How would you make Neopoints by avatar lending?

    The accounts literally look like they've not been logged in since they were created 6.5 years ago. So I'm not sure how anybody would trust me to let me borrow anything, if that's even how this avatar lending works... I just claimed my newbie pack on one of them, that's how little was done with either of them.

    Both accounts are well named, so I would like to keep at least one of them as my 'legitimate' main account...
    Seriously, Junior? Hell, I'll take whatever help I can get! Anything you can spare would be really appreciated!

    Sorry. That was ambiguously phrased. Getting lent won't help you make NP (not unless you're planning on not returning the items, which I don't recommend doing, since it'll get you reported really fast...), however, I think it does increase your "public image" and make you look a little more invested in your account, which in turn helps you look more reliable, which allows you to sell things easier & make NP faster, etc.

    It really depends on how much time you want to spend on the site. Personally, I think it looks a little suspicious if you return from a long hiatus and start RSing unbuyables or high profit items right away, so at the very least, do something else along side.

    Your accounts are aged enough. I suggest the AAA, which AU supports, or get Tharoux's one.

    Junior, if that offer still stands, let me know. If not, no worries, as I know you probably have other plans for your Neopoints.

    ;)

    Well, if Junior has his NP tied up elsewhere, I'll be happy to send you some NP as well. Just PM me your username & desired amount.
