I don't know how many people actually read all the new intros, but I figured I'd give it a go anyway. I'm Anna, and obviously I'm new here. I've had my Neopets account for over 4 years, however it wasn't until about mid November '06 that I became really involved in it. When I say involved I mean playing every single day for several consecutive hours. I know what you're thinking, and the answer is no, I don't have a life or anything better to do. Anyway, over that period of time I've accomplished a lot of things that I'd hoped to, and I've learned a lot about the ins and outs of the game. However, getting the hang of restocking has eluded me because... well, I suck at it terribly. I think a lot of it has to do with my patience level. It doesn't matter how many guides I read or what techniques I try, I always end up with nothing or something that doesn't make me much profit. I know the key is to be fast, and to know what to look for, but evidently I'm no good at either. It baffles me how quick the shops sell out, and even more so how quick other people must be. I always wondered how people got so filthy rich, or how they were so good at restocking. It never really occurred to me that they might be using an autobuyer or something of the like. Don't get me wrong, I know there are plenty of legit restockers out there, that earn every single neopoint honestly. I always have, although I'm starting to wonder... I'm really into the whole avatar collecting thing, and I want that Chocolate Factory avvie something fierce. I've been trying for a while now, and I've never even been close to getting it. I simply cannot remember which items are r90 or above and be quick at the same time. After getting really frustrated for the millionth time the other day, that's when I started really looking into the whole autobuying concept. I don't know though. I want to try it, even if I only use it to get the avvie, but I know I'd be taking a risk of getting frozen, and I just don't know what to expect. It's all so very confusing. Anyway, now that everyone who reads this knows who I am and where I stand and how I got here, I guess I can quit typing now. This is why I've never been too involved in any forums. I always ramble on and on, and I'm always paranoid I'll break some rule and people will yell at me or something. But I read all the rules and all the important stickies, so I should be good. Nice to meet you all. Hopefully I can learn some new things here and maybe even help some people out. You never know.
Welcome Anna, I'm sure you will enjoy it here! I, too am rubbish at legit restocking I am just not quick enough, much easier to have the AB do it for you
