Those prices are higher than I was thinking. It's possible to do it and not charge more than 200 per item. As a matter of fact I could do approx 750 items for 100nps each Need a huge store to be rreally effective Books! Reasonable Prices!! http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=kermat13&misc

Reasonable Prices!! http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=kermat13&misc[/quote] I've never had 1K items at that price range but I did do packrat and WOW what a profit margin! I concentrated on stocking items people don't know about and won't have in their SDB when they decide to get the avvie. Instruments was a great seller just to name a category. Super cheap items (1 NP) priced <500 sold like crazy!! Also, being able to advertise you have X number of items that cost under 500NPs brought me tons of traffic from the shop board! Another sales tactic I used was reminding people to think about their big SDB sale after they get the avvie. Who wants just 1K after that huge sale when they can have loads more by buying items other people want? Personally, I waited to get that avatar, upgraded my shop knowing that after the avvie I would not want to RS a size 4 shop to get rid of it all. I didn't buy 1 np items because I know those are HTS but I did do my dailies and kept all the junk I got from fishing, the snowager, the meteor, the shenkuu astrology thingy *lol*, etc. I also emptied my SDB, Neodeck, Neohome and gallery so I didn't have to buy so much SDB filler. When it was said and done I made a huge profit selling great items! *hold your applause* hahaha!! ~ Mimi ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~ temps_bons graphics ~ http://www.neopets.com/~Mimi_Miaulement

What I did for packrat was follow this: http://items.jellyneo.net/index.php?go=show_items&name=&name_type=partial&desc=&cat=0&specialcat=0&status=0&rarity=0&sortby=price&numitems=75&prices=1&ncoff=1 You could make a very effective shop off of that, the prices aren't exact but they're close. Edit: Says that there's about 1200 items for 100 nps or less. --- Step outside, take a breath of fresh air, then look down to see if you have a new text message.
