Answer
1. What shops are good to restock in?
All shops contain a wide variety of items with all sorts of values. A good way to understand what is good is to eavesdrop on the Trading/Auction boards,
or the Battledome Chat. While eavesdropping on the previously mentioned boards, note what items are worth quite a bit. Also, take note of the expensive items' rarities--because you need to familiarize youreself with these items.
Answer
2. Item rarities explained~
Items have certain rarities. The rarest restockable items are items with rarities of 100. Then comes r99, r98, r97, etc... Below is a list of item rarities and how frequently the stock in shops.
r100 - stocks once in every forever (you're luck to ever see one)
r99 - stocks slightly less than once in every forever (every few days-every few months).
r98 - stocks every once in a while (every other day...once or twice a week).
r97 - maybe once or twice a day(?) Depends on the particular item you are looking for.
r96 - stocks quite a bit
r95 and below - stocks too often and is probably junk, except for a select few items that have a rarity of r95 and below that are still by
some miracle profitable.
Please keep in mind that all shops do not contain items of every rarity. For example: Rock pool has no r99 items--and royal potionry has nothing BUT r99 items. Different shops vary.

3. What to do in a shop so I don't run around like a decapitated chicken?
Carry all the np you have on hand. If you have 5 million, you carry 5 million. The tax beast is dead so there is really no reason for you to hoard your money in your mattress like a little old lady. Once you have all of your money out, you sit and wait for a restock. When the shop restocks quickly scan the items (you can either read the text or look at the images). Do not sit there drooling saying "OH WOW LOOK LOOK!" because if you do I am going to come in and take whatever it is you were drooling over =D. If you want to beat me, you have to be very fast.

5. How to know what to go for in what shop?
Basically you have to memorize a bunch of crap. I know every item that stocks in about 20 different shops that's probably about a thousand items? I also
know the different classes and rarities of items. You can say haha that's silly but if you want to get GOOD that is what you are going to have to do.
NOBODY CAN TELL YOU what is good to get in what shop! The more you know, the better you will get! Do not rely on others. Do the research
yourself. Use neoitems.net if you have to.
r99 items usually range in value between 150k-60 million...depending on the item. The more value an item has, the less it will stock (that is why some
things are so expensive duh).
So when you are eavesdropping on the Trading/Auction chat, look at what r99 and below items are selling for the big bucks, go on neoitems and figure
out what shop that item stocks in, and then restock it yourself.
Answer
6. How to buy an item really quick?
Just a rough estimate. Basically you have less than um... well hang on.
It USED to be that you had about 2.5 seconds to get a morphing potion as soon as it stocked. Now with all this random crap I'm not sure with
the timing is, but you still need to keep your transactions under 4 or 5 seconds.
Your left ring finger goes on the 2 key. Middle goes on 3, index on 4. Thumb on spacebar.
When you click an item a dialogue box appears. Hit spacebar to proceed to the next page. Basically when you see the little black box pop up just hit
space bar. Do not read it, do not say 'ooh it's pretty' because it wastes time. (if you hit it too soon you will mess up)
Once you reach the second page (the actual purchase page) your job is to spot the little animal. As you search for the animal you are to click to the right
of the '0' in the price box (do not erase the zero, click to the right of it--erasing it is a huge waste of time). Enter your haggle price. Take advantage of your
finger placement. 23434 for something that costs 20-25k.
You need to memorize every shop you want to bother restocking in. It should only take about an hour for small shops like ice crystal or wintery petpets...
Just look on neoitems.net for all the rare items in a particular shop. Research is the key.
