Not exactly a n00b mail, but...
Something I thought would be worthwhile to share with all of you. You know all of those people who claim "I'll never shop in a Mall on Neo, they have such high prices it would be insane to pay them!!!!" it just struck me as I was responding to this message, do these people shop in their local mall in RL? [quote]From: [killersnakecc2] Justin Pruitt » Make this user your Neofriend Sent: 10/12/2009 08:38pm Folder: Inbox Subject: Re: Hey You wrote: In case you weren't at the board anymore, yes, she does sell her items, why? killersnakecc2 replied: How is that possible... Wow Malled people are so lucky selling items for over 500 proffit on items I can barely get away with 100. Just checking its wierd You wrote: IDK, it's just the way of malls I guess.... of course, there are some people who are so strongly opposed to malls that they won't even click on them... But then, you ask yourself "Would you buy a pair of jeans from your local mall for $150 that you could buy at Wal-Mart for $20?" sometimes you do, simply because the mall has specialized stores and therefore would carry more items of the same brand in a different size/color and Wal-Mart wouldn't. Other people wouldn't set foot in a mall. It's the same thing on Neo. Would you be willing to pay over the amount for something that you could find somewhere else for cheaper? Or, if you're looking for a set of something, wouldn't rather find it all in one shop for a slightly higher price than to have to hunt down several shops all at once? You're basically paying for convenience.[/quote] They were wondering if my book vendor sells off her items, and yes she does. Opinions on this random but pertinent thought?

i shop in malls quite a bit as long as the store is a smaller one thats only a bit above wiz. especially quest items and books. definitely not in a store that charges like 1k over but whats a few hundred/thousand np when put against the time you save.. beats wasting time on the wizard, there are better and more efficient ways to spend that time.

It could quite possibly be that they don't. I know several people that don't shop at the mall. If they want brand names they take trips to the outlet stores. I personally don't shop at RL malls all that often either. I choose to stay at home with my kids until they are all in school full time, so we are a family on one income. I have to weigh what is important and what is not, so most of the time RL malls really are just a waste. I dont need a fancy label on my ass to look good. Or for my purse to cost more than my car payment *cough* I could think of plenty other more important or even fun things to do with that money. I probably will be the same way when I am working too. Neo wise, I will do the same as Dmitri and buy from the quest shops in our mall, one to be nice and two to be lazy *lol* Even when shopping/restocking with the wiz, for some items I will pay a little higher to visit the shop that has 5 of one item rather than go into 5 separate shops.

[center] Mm, yeah, I always buy quest items through our malls too. Although, I usually try in our smaller version before our larger version, just because smaller shop = lower price.. :O ------------------------------------------------------------------- [url=http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=raine_storme&misc]~~ Come visit my map shop ~~[/url] [/center]

[quote=perpette] I dont need a fancy label on my ass to look good. [/quote] I don't see why people buy jeans for over $100 that are ripped. It's ridiculous. Just buy you a $25 pair and rip them yourself. Cheaper AND made better. After a few washings and wearings, those expensive pairs wear out and tear more in a not so 'artful' direction *lol*

[quote] I dont need a fancy label on my ass to look good. Or for my purse to cost more than my car payment[/quote] OMG *lol* wow, the part about the fancy label just made me LOL. And true, why would you want/need a purse that costs more than your car payment? xD And I don't know, a lot of people in the teen world use the mall as a hangout spot. So, obviously they're going to at least want a drink, maybe even a bit of food. And yet, these same people who are all like "I'll never step foot in a mall on Neo!" are probably the same people who go to their RL mall to hangout.

Well Im glad that I was able to provide some entertainment *lol* I viewed the question from my age groups point of view. Yes as a younger teen there were times that I would hang out at the mall just to get out of house. I guess I always pictured the people who complain closer to my age :* And I agree 100% about the ripped jeans... talk about getting rich off of peoples stupidity.
