HELP: Should I upgrade OR be in NB Advertisements?
Hello all, Perhaps you could help me here with my dilemma. I'm contemplating with these options: 1) Upgrade my shop to 400 from 274. OR 1) Participate in a 4 million advertisement. ---------------------------- 1) Sell all of my rare items half priced for quick sell amounting to only around 10 million np instead of 20 million np for my shop upgrades. OR 1) Not selling the rare items and retaining a small shop with few upgrades every month. I know my shop is measly compare to people here that has shop sizes 500-1000+ hence the topic about "Upgrades". So it got me thinking if I should upgrade my shop first before participating in any 4 million advertisement. Has anyone done this before? Did it work? Let me know what you think so I can decide. Also, the advertisements does work but some people had told me that upgrading first is better than participating in a 4 million advertisement. I tend to not think so, but again, what do you think? Since my shop size is so small and a lot of people here probably had gotten to this point, it would be great if you could tell me any of your experiences regarding this issue. Sincerely, 1434sweet

I would personally upgrade first. At your size you have barely even begun to see the change of being in any marketplace. I wouldnt take that drastic of a cut on selling off your items though. mark them at cheapest and they will sell faster than you think.

I say start selling those rare items for *good* prices and as you sell use the cash on upgrading. That way you start on your road to Main and you get value for what you have.

I don't know if this is good or not compare to anyone? But then again, I use that money to restock and then do the advertisements. And only a few thousands are left for my upgrade savings.

Depends on the items though. I sold my battle set to help me get to the size I am today. Those on the whole were items I could replace for similar value. If the items are likely to increase more, retired for example, then i'd hold on. But I do agree to prioritise getting to main due to the jump in profits

I also have a paint brush and some battledome items. I think I should get it from my side account for people to see. But I used to do this (put it in my trades for people to see) but neopetsteam emailed me that I'm just showing off so I stopped and transferred it to my side account. Also, what EXACTLY do you mean by increased of sales? Specifically, it would be great if you could reply an answer numerically. You're in for a surprise.

[/quote] There are points I have considered giving blood for upgrades *lol* It all depends on whether it is items that you want, or if it is items you are hanging on to for an investment. These days I start looking at everything in terms of upgrades. Dont touch your stocks unless they are at your sell point. I made that mistake and regretted it when I realized I really didnt want to start all over with them.

I love my stocks. +) Upgrading is so addictive though. DARN IT. You're in for a surprise.
