Extensive Guide to Shop Wizard Sniping
The Art of Sniping
First things first, what is Sniping, exactly? Sniping is the art of buying low and selling high… a sniper searches user shops for items which have been, either as an advertising ploy or by accident, priced greatly below the retail value. The sniper then snatches up that item and puts it in his or her own shop, often making thousands of Neopoints in the process.
