Items for their Neopets, set up their own shops in the Neopian Marketplace, and invest in the NEODAQ (the site's virtual stock

of Meerca Chase™, or heading to the Neopian Marketplace for a virtual shopping spree, the adventures that await members
at Neopets are practically endless. Indeed, the only limitation of the site is the member's own imagination!
