Igloo garage sale help

Sat Jul 24, 2004 2:20 pm

No restocking except at the Igloo garage sale
I've never restocked there !
Is there a link to a list of items we can find there ?
or someone would be kind enough to name a few items which are worth buying (and not impossible to get)

Nope. They restock random items, as far as I know. (Only items that sell in other shops, of course) And I believe they all sell for their suggested value.

The garage sale really sells everything... Faeries to Bottle of sands.
Try to buy the Codestones and Faeries (But they get buy really quick and I never get some), after, try the books or the weapons, the collectables cards...
When there's noithing left try a food, or wait for the next restocking!
I can't really fix you a list, it's always random!

Tanks for the information .. Anything. That's a lot
A least I know the chocolate factory items and value of codestones and faeries.

One more intruder coming .... :hug:

I missed a gruslen.

Theres also snorkle snouts (for the avs), nerkmids, stamps, new petpet items...

Basicly every thing...

How long do you have to wait before buying the second item?

You have to wait one restock. Buy something then just sit the next one out. It helps let everyone get something because everyone who restocks is in the igloo cause there is nowhere else to go.

Set your computer clock with Neopian time. When the next minute comes, refresh. Have your mouse ready over where an item is going to come up. Click on it. If you take time to see what it is, it's too late. 9 times out of 10 it's going to be junk but . . .ah, that 10th time! :lol: Wait one restock and then do it again. 0:)

Thats a good tip!
I usually start looking for something good that I know and by then its sold out.

So just now I bought the first thing I saw for 177np and it turns out its worth 2k! :)

I've made 25k so far - my best profit being 10k :)

Still, its not as good as the Spooky Food shop, bah :(

Just go for any item, don't look at the tect, the biggest loss is about 1,000NP, not too much...

I actually love the Garage Sale because it is practically the only shop I can definitely get something somewhat decent at. I have to be quick because I have dialup so even my quickest isn't fast enough to get codestones or faeries, but I do manage to get books which sell for a good bit, and food. Also I get some trading cards. Food wise it seems you'll get SOME profit from practially any food item like baby food, or carrots, some just give you more than others. Last night I bought a food item for 45 np and sold it for 800np, which for me (who has dialup so I never get good restocks) is pretty good, and when you get an item for every restock it can add up. :)

I'm not even going to waste my time on it until the rest of the shops are restocking.I HATE this, it's the only shop I restock at mainly, and now EVERYONE who restocks is there.Everything you can make a good profit from is sold out in at least two seconds, and no longer than five seconds. :x

I saw a Baby Wocky Plushie there once...for 900NP! And faeries and I even got a Usukicon y5 poster. o-o

here's what i do:

click on an junk item but don't buy first. then ensure that the grey outline around the item is there. next, time the restock so that the next moment you refresh, the page's full, then hit enter twice.

that's the fastest you can get an item but you may not get a good item compared to players who actually target what to buy but then again with so many players crowded there, it's hard to imagine how fast that player is if he can still target an item and click accurately twice to buy it.
