What's your first thought when you are bought out?
This is a first for me. After I completely restocked my shop (300 items) at around 3 am (12 am NST) a few hours later I was bought out by three people! One person bought the bulk of it. I was really happy but then I cringed and felt like crawling into a hole and never coming out at the thought of having to restock everything again. I spent hours looking for cheap items to sell high and pricing accordingly making sure my shop seemed cheap with some expensive items here and there ( I try not to be below the SW) and I made my own database written by hand to make it easier for myself when restocking, which made it easier for me now to restock. Has this happened to any of you? http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=pearlsilver

I love seeing the shop till.. jumping and swimming in the profit like Scrooch Mcduck. Then I look at the sales history and skip out on restocking my shop. :P It doesn't happen that often now that I have a main market shop, but there are still some people who buy out certain items once in a while.

It annoys me sometimes because they are so important in maintaining my shop image.

Well if you price them a bit higher, they won't be bought out as fast.. or you can price like 25% of your items a bit higher.

I had it done once recently (this year sometime). My store is size 640 and honestly I thought who was that idiot.... I'm not cheap but I'm not all that expensive either. It wasn't quite totally bought out, there was about 600items left in there. But to go from totally stocked to virtually nothing in one day was one hell of a surprise. Needless to say it was the biggest till I've ever had and probably won't be repeated again.

Hmm... just not ever going to happen. But on the few occasions I have had people come in and try and start a gallery and buy over 100 items I was ecstatic.

I was really tempted to take my reserve nps from the bank and upgrade and add a whole bunch of items and add 15k or more to the items priced over 20k. It really irked me that the person that bought all the items wasn't even selling them and did not have a gallery either. To me it seemed like a waste.
