[quote=texas_girl_95]Congratulations on the big sales. That is that love/hate thing. Love the till hate the restocking.[/quote] Before I got iced, I had a fair-sized store, and RSing wasn't bad if I had a few "supplies stores" that were bookmarked with the name of what they sold/what was profitable for me to buy there. They appreciated my business, so I was able to get a lot of them lower prices and add certain items to their stock if I agreed to use them as a supplier. It really helped to speed up RSing times a lot. ________________________________ Are you feeling lucky? Click Here!

About once every 10 days someone (different user every time so far) buys 40 -50 items at once and that's just what shows up on sales history. (I still have some items under 1K.) This happened twice already this month. 89 items were out of stock from two users that I could track. I was thrilled but I too broke out in a little bit of a cold sweat trying to quickly restock. I have doubled all stock in my SDB so everything is just cut and paste from sales history to SDB to restock. forcefedup -- I'm so sorry you were frozen and admire that you still play! I don't know if I could do that. I found out recently these supply shops are called bulk stockers and many mall shops use shops like this! They agree what the smaller shop (100+) will sell and that shop stocks those items 5-10 qty and the mallers go and buy buy buy! This saves time and nps because the bulk stockers only mark up their items 200 or so above cost. I have given serious consideration to doing this until I upgrade my shop to mall size. ~ Mimi _____________________________________________________ Mimi's Ménagerie: Healthy Tastes Good Here! http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=temps_bons[/quote] I took a 5 month hiatus in which I screamed at Neopets auto-reply neomails that simply restated "we appreciate your concerns, but your were frozen for scamming and broke the rules bval;ahgasdkhasdkhshutup" about a gazillion times until I gave up. Lemme tell you, never make enemies of someone who steals all your graphics and shop ideas and then tries to compete with your shop. You will always lose if you are the better shop, even if they DID steal from you. -bittermumbling- I would do this, but I don't think I could keep my sanity if I wasn't making huge profits and constantly advertising my store. I'm only size 30, and I treat my store as if it were a mall store. It's really the only way I know. ________________________________ Are you feeling lucky? Click Here!

[quote=pedmay]I have a love/hate relationship when someone wipes out half of my stock. I feel like it took me forever to restock. So I complain. Then my kids always come back saying, "Isn't that why you have a shop". I laugh and go back to restocking.[/quote] Kids always have such great insights with their view of the world, don't they? :D ________________________________ Are you feeling lucky? Click Here!
