Rate My Shop?
I am currently working on making my shop a Weapons, Magic, Medicine, Earth Faerie Quest Shop! I have over 2 pages already stocked but most items are under 1000 nps. I want to know if you think my shop is going in the right direction before I continue. A link to my shop: http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=leelo513&misc Thanks for looking! Also, any suggestions would be great! :)

I think most of the prices are just high enough to stop you from maximizing SW hits, yet low enough you'll make minimal profits, a lethal combination for a shop that isn't in MM, or even spooky/island, and also isn't in a mall. Mark some items up, and lower the prices of some items. Thats my opinion anyway. Good luck :)

Today I have a toy shop. Toy shops have cheap items. If you actually stock more then 80 % of items that cost under 1000 nps, and you actually price it under 1000np, then you give the impression that you have super duper great deals. *lol* Well, it works for me, because I have very few buyers, but those buyers buy 5-10 items on average. And most important, they keep coming back! So, if you have a shop with a cheap range of items, keep the items cheap, mark at least one page at SW price, and the rest you make a tiny bit more expensive. It's also good to have attractive looking items at the top of every page, or just your bestsellers. That does mean that you have to leave some stuff out, to have those items top page. But they will sell, so it's worth it. Saying that, you should consider adding page links. You should also do some research. What are the most popular items? Some of them (like Spider on a String when I had a bd shop) are cheap and are very very very good sellers. There used to be ( don't know of it now) a IDBPGuide somewhere, having all the weapons and a rating on them. Very very usefull to find high rated and popular items for cheap prices. It will pay of to have a big range of <1000nps items, but work towards have the weapons under 10.000nps. They sell better, as they just perform better. Don't stock to many, but have a bit of everything. If you stock smart, and price them right, you can make 1000's profit on those. Stocking weapons over 25.000np is imo not worth it unless you are MM. They sell very slowly and they deflate and inflate like crazy, very easy to lose nps on. Also, what I can recommend is having all Earth Faerie items in your shop at all times (there's only 18 or so). If you have the room for it, stock them with at least 20 at SW price. You can buy most of them from the Magic Shop in bulk so you make great profits on them. Nova's do very very good btw. Magic just does very well. I would concentrate on magic items more then on the useless BD items. Just keep adding stock, because the more items you have, the more chance you have stocked something someone is looking for. And that person might buy in bulk from you. Advertise your shop on the shop ads board, it's free and generates traffic. Not much, but it's extra. play games to upgrade your shop! Shop layout looks good. See you also joined a good mall. Anyways, sorry for the long story. I just know how hard it can be to start BD-magic shop. Good luck!
