wondering why

Maybe someone can answer this. I've been having great sales from my shop. Multiple hits on several occasions, I always check the shops of the people who do multiple hits and have noticed a trend. that they are all under 1 month old on neo pets yet they have 4 highly decorated pets and so on. most of the time they have spent a minimum of 11k in my shop some have gone as high as 80k. When I check there shops they don't have the items for resale so, here are my questions 1) are these people stand in shopping, that is filling a list for someone who is willing to pay 50 pts extra per item (which i believe is against neo rules) or 2) Shopping on there side account so people like me can't check in to see if they are reselling at a higher amount. Most of the time the multiple sales will purchase all 6 of an item in stock and do this with several items. I know the whole thing truly doesn't matter it's just one of those things that makes you wonder when it happens 5 and 6 times everyday.

I do not really have an answer to your question but I can think that with all the restocking I did tonight that I must have hit 20 shops where I personally purchased 5-6 items if the price was right (within the space of my spreadsheet) and a regular seller. I have done toys prior to reacquiring it just before coming here to Neomallers so I have a good guess on what sells and it is funny my high sellers then are still my high sellers now even if they are hugely overpriced now. But as I deeply and sadly have to say most of the items have gone down in price with only a few items being larger, even if they are retired. I wonder if your question is better asked by someone that has the same type of shop as yours. I do not know if this helps you with the newbie issue that you were questioning where yes side accts/trading selling etc... Illegal via the terms of service last time I viewed it.

could be i just find it odd that the people who are spending large amounts in my shop are young enough that they shouldnt have those kinds of points so quickly and that the items arent showing in their shop as a resell. and this is happening more and more. like i said an odd observation on my part.

You could play games 8x in April, that probably made newbies richer. Or you could have been lowest on the regular wiz?

I have always wondered myself about that, and have checked it out too and my best guess is we will never get a straight answer. As far as the pets age goes you can adopt older ones and trade for them so maybe they are returning exsperienced neo players. Other interesting fact its kinda funny that all these noob acct less than 30ish days old only have like 3 games played hmmm makes you wonder huh!!

ok so im not the only one who has noticed this trend. i still think its people using there side account or doing the list shopping for someone else. we could come up with a top ten list of how they do that. lol. any way if anyone figures it out you know where to find me ;)

I've never even heard of list shopping beforehand. But then again I don't see the big point on buying on a side account to hid the fact you're reselling but maybe some people are like that. Who knows... http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=evilbluemunkeyz

Yeah I think the value of the "NP" is going down because everytime I have something out of stock the price has inflated
