For monopoly speak I was thinking like if someone went up and tried to buy say every Candychan stamp, and then set the price at whatever they demanded. Granted it would take billions of nps lol, but it's all hypothetical to begin with... The people that irritate me the most are the ones that go to my shop and tell me everything is too expensive, and I should lower my prices.... on expensive items. I'm sorry not all items cost 5 nps. But there are items that are actually say 80k so that's what I'm going to sell them for. I'm not going to sell them to you for 1k because you think that's what it's worth when clearing on the SSW everything else is priced around the same price as my shop... that irritates me beyond no end. Whenever I get neomails like that I have to actually just walk away so that I don't say anything I'd regret..

Well, I don't know if hoarding is against the rules but they put up a whole board in neodaq.com about hoarding and I guess pretty much even lurkers there are hoarding. _______________________________________________ Bugsy's GUIDE to Effective SHOPKEEPING and MALLING: Version 3: Learn More About Hut Positioning Edition http://www.neopets.com/~bugsy_lenny

[quote=forcefedup] Oh, something else -- IF YOU DO NOT WIN ON MY SCRATCHCARDS, YOU DO NOT GET A FREAKIN' REFUND!!! It's LUCK & CHANCE for a REASON! Nothing is guaranteed!!! /endrant[/quote] Unbelievable! That's the best one I've seen. I do get the my pet won't read the book and I spend some time explaining how to change the language, etc, but I've never heard of a refund for a losing scratchcard, Guess it takes all kinds!

Okay, small rant. I hate when people say I'm overpriced, yet most of my items are priced the same as theirs or cheaper than theirs. Either they are delusional or... well, that's my only conclusion. Okay, time to go to sleep.

I know it is hard to price at times for me when faerie quest kick in the prices go up so I raise due to having to restock then they crash after a while and I don't realize it. I now recently I started pricing at least a 50nps profit for each item I buy. Some are more but I think with doing the 4 mil NB ads I may have to raise prices a bit to continue in all of them. Which so far I am really enjoying ;)

I can easily get usually 5k profit on some things and they still sell like hotcakes! ________________________________ Are you feeling lucky? Click Here!

I know I need to up my prices to cover the 4mil ads I joined but don't want to loss my current customer base either.
