I sold that sort of stuff myself, sold off a gallery too to make it to main :P I'd say, at the very least sell the r99 and below items. Paint brushes and any retired goodies you may have, your call. All depends how desperate you are too. To avoid warnings and whatnot, it's best to put items in trades and leave the description as none. It's usually when people put "nft" or similar such things that result in warnings

Well i've not looked at your shop currently, or category, whether you are in a mall of any kind or not, so I have no idea how you are currently doing profit wise. What do you average profits right now?

I agree, you should get to Main as quickly as you can. I sold off my gallery and my entire stock portfolio. I now have my gallery back, plus more stuff! I've rebuilt my stocks as well. :)

Up to you :p mail me your rare items :) ive got like 12 mil left that Im thinking of spending on upgrades :/ xD But always looking for stuff to buy too :P ---- Dont forget to vote for my Draik in the BC :P : http://www.neopets.com/beauty/details.phtml?pet=Hiroizumu

I see. Well maps is a category I know nothing about, so I don't know how much better you'd be able to do with that if you were to hit main. It would also depend on whether you'd then look to move into a fully main market mall (I've still not looked at your shop so have no idea what your current mall status is *lol*) Also depends whether you would want to stick with your category and so on. We actually removed maps completely from our mall sometime ago because no one who took the spot was happy with the profits, so you must be doing something right already. I'd say just follow your instinct on it. One way or another you will work out inside whether it's more important to you to hit main soon or to wait. I'd say you wouldn't have much trouble finding a mall with maps open though due to people failing at it, if you were to upgrade and stick with the category.

I'd agree it paid off for me too. Well worth selling stuff off if thats what you really want to do. I'd think carefully about selling off shares though, i've sold mine off several times and i'm hating rebuilding my portfolio

I agree that you should upgrade first. Your shop itself is the most important thing, then advertising it. If you concentrate on growing, then your market position will help sales. And once you're comfortable with your size, then you can do NB ads and see if they help. I'm actually having the same dilemma as you. To upgrade a lot now or not? I usually upgrade about five times a week, using the profits I've made in my shop till. I have some nps saved up. If I spent it all, I would be near size 400. I don't want to do that, though, as I'd be broke. My goal was to save up 10 million nps in my bank and then use that to upgrade and buy books for my Bruce. I'm about halfway there. Sales have been slow the past two weeks, though, and I haven't made enough to do my usual five upgrades. I love my sandwich gallery on my main, so I'm not selling that even though I know I would get at least 2 million from it. I do have a sword gallery on my side collecting dust. I used to love it but haven't even paid attention to it in a while (pretty much since I started my sandwich gallery). I think I'm going to add up my swords and see how much I can get. Good luck with your upgrading, 1434sweet. And also, yes, don't sell your items for less than their value. Pick what you'd like to hang on to, and the ones you sell, go with the lowest shop wizard price.
