[quote=Nicann4]Agreed, but see, I don't sell them anyways, I stuff them in my sdb LOL Right now I have over 20,000 items stuffed in there lol[/quote] Potential future selling or use on pet training then? :P

Still silly unless you stick in 1 codestone and say "OMGOMGOMGOMGO HUGE 1NP SALE!!! GO GO GO HURRT!11" and if people do complain, just say "HAHA PWN'D U 2 SLOW LIKE A SNALE. BETTA LUK NEXT TYME!"

People cloak for being on top--man, I am just happy being in the top 100--lol.

[quote=Nicann4]ROFL read my first post. I DID say why I do them. And YES advertising increases hits. My point, which I also previously stated, is that I would do them even if I had no counter in my shop, therefore I didn't want to be grouped in with those that "do anything possible to get high hits" I also already said to ignore what I said because I was being grumbly and therefore oversensitive. You're right the 1 NP sales weren't brought up until I brought them up. But it has been in the past, over and over and over. And I'm grumpy sooooo ;) Kirsty, I agree with you, it is a risk of people trying to be report happy. I also put quite the paragraph in my 1st post that all items are NOT 1 NP and I've bought back items that people have accidentally clicked. Although I will say, with the complainers, there are days I feel like it's not worth it to do it lol.[/quote] I USE to do 1np sales but I know that those people do it to advertise and there stuff is overpriced badly. Not towards you nicann but I don't really like the fact of 1np sales because if you didn't do them how high would your hits really be? Your basically buying hits if you know what i mean which is why I thought about it and stopped them and sales stayed the same.

Nicole's prices are extremely fair, especially for a mall the size of the one she belongs to. I used to stock the same category and her items always showed up on the SSW.

I dont think we're talking about overpriced items vs fairly priced... but rather the "purpose" of these "1np sales" that are supposedly "designed" to increase hits. i mean sales

I just think 1np sales isn't that good of an advertisement to use as you are buying the hits

*pinches Dmitri* Yes, there's no denying that 1 NP sales produce higher hits, but there's also no denying that doing 1 NP sales gets a large variety of people into my shop that wouldn't be otherwise. Mall members that sell furniture and addicted neohomers are always in my shop because I do price with the SSW, but others, while they may not be searching for a furniture or gardening item on the wiz, if they go into my shop for a sale and see something that catches their eye will either clicky clicky and buy it or shop wiz it, see I'm the lowest and still buy it ;) There's really no difference from stores in the real world doing great sales in order to lure customers into their stores in the hopes that they'll buy more than the sale item. :) EDIT: Oh and since I KNOW you'll be reading this Dmitri, how come Amber (gothsunprincess) isn't showing up green anymore for being in the same mall *unsure* she's not been green for me for 2 or 3 days now.

Then why is it that you seem to do them when: A.) You're not in 1st 2.) You are about to be overtaken by shawna You also said that you did these sales even before the counter service - I always lurked the shop boards and barely saw any of your threads (unless you were doing these sales on newbie chat or some other random board) except those buying with xxx NPs ones. (Actually, I barely saw any other mallers advertising there as well.) Nowadays, I see you doing 1np sales all the time. But then again, with the increased summer exposure, I see that you are in danger of being overtaken by other people quite quickly if you dont keep doing those "sales" constantly. Believe it or not, in the last few days, on a number of occasions, when i noticed that you were about to be overtaken, I went straight to the shop boards and sure enough, it only took a couple minutes of lurking and *BAM* your 1np sales board popped up. What's also weird is, when you're already ahead by a significant amount (say 400+), I barely see these sales. (this will change for sure after this post though) Coincidence? Maybe; but still very odd. [quote]but I don't really like the fact of 1np sales because if you didn't do them how high would your hits really be? [/quote] It appears that each one of these sales bring in about 200 to 500 hits depending on the time of day. And Amber is cloaking her hits and should be showing up gray instead.

I was like someone don't want to loss their spot on tops shops. Then I stopped doing 1np sales because like I said you are buying hits. I see you on there everyday multiple times. Take a challenge and don't do them for a day. See how things go because people proboly do bookmark you.
