[quote=kermat13]That and scratchcards--sure would be alot less work. Go from over 900 items down to like no more than 200. I'd really like to sell jelly too--had a nice jelly shop at one point. Books! Reasonable Prices!! http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=kermat13&misc[/quote] I know how to feel. I sell petpets&supplies and the highest ranked supply (not pbs, pppbs, pp map pieces) is Profit performance for Rainbow Petpet Bath Tub ( 16,355 NP ) is ranked 155 out of 647. and I ONLY have 4 in the TOP 200, and NONE in the top 100. I'm contemplating just removing all the supplies because 1. it's clogging up my shop 2. it's making it look ugly. ------------------------------- See my new screenie petpage?

I was gone when they opened the petpet park so is there anything that relates to that or is it more like a toy/gallery item. But I mean if they aren't selling then I would take them out or just leave a few main sellers in there. http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=evilbluemunkeyz

Just like there is always talk about a neopets school and all school supplies would be needed. When I left for 2 years I was expecting to come back to a lot of new stuff but the biggest things were the petpet park and keyquest. And of course the ownership change. http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=evilbluemunkeyz

I imagine they'll become furniture eventually when they allow us the option of putting petpets into the Version 2 homes. As for the slowdown, this happens every year. The awful January to June deflation and sales slowdown. Things pick up around Altador Cup and school letting out. Although the insanity of 3 years ago is probably never coming back. The numbers Dmitri posted are quite correct. Less people playing equals less sales :( http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=atlantissix

[/quote] That should cause both an increase in sales for the petpet supplies as well as petpets. How is the transition going to making things compatible with the V2 homes? http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=evilbluemunkeyz

Slow :P Eventually, the petpet supplies should be converted, but I don't even think they have done any yet and they have a ton - a TON of classic furniture and garden to go yet

At the rate they are going of converting roughly 4 items per week. It will take another 10 years at least before Furniture and Garden items are converted :o And I never counted faerie furniture or the other minor furniture stores or petpet supplies in those numbers. Plus the petpets. There are over 400 petpets with an average of 20 colors each-so that is another 1600 items right there :( Just consider how slowly old clothing is being converted! http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=atlantissix

Maybe the global recession is to blame. Honestly, what family would allow their child to play games online all day when they are struggling for money? Trust me, their are millions more who are having trouble now than there was a few years back when there were load more people playing neopets. I don't think neopets will ever come out of it's recession until the global economy does first. But anywho, poor petpet supplies for having no use. :(:P

I just think its not as popular anymore with certain age groups so whatever reason. Perhaps its not being marketed the right way - who knows. http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=evilbluemunkeyz
