[quote=xhelenmelon]I've been stocking Sweets, Bakery, Food, and Drinks my whole malling career :D If you have patience and are decent at RSing, I definitely recommend restocking from the Main Bakery shop or Chocolate Factory to get a good idea of what stock to have. From then on, you can price within the 1st or 4th lowest of your ALPHA section on the SW (I still make great sales w/o the SSW). :) When you sell out, you can restock from the SW.. All my bakery and candy items have been restocked directly from the Bazaar, believe it or not. However, when they sell out, that's when I start RSing from the SW. It's easier that way as you don't have to feel like you're using too much NP to introduce stock to your shop.. Bakery/Candy items are expensive; well, at least some of them. If you mark-up too much, you'll never sell. Seriously. x) buuut, if you price well according to the SW, you'll start seeing profits. I'd have to say my favorite thing about this category are the actual items- look on Jellyneo; they're so pretty! lol My least favorite is the pricing and restocking. These items inflate greatly pretty quickly, so sometimes I break even or lose profits. Also, this category doesn't get as much hits on a 4 mill NB ad. If you can, combine it with food and drinks, and take Food/Drinks on NB ads :) Hope that helped![/quote] I agree! I have a friend collecting Lollypops because they are all so beautiful LOL XD _______________________________________________ Bugsy's GUIDE to Effective SHOPKEEPING and MALLING: Version 3: Learn More About Hut Positioning Edition http://www.neopets.com/~bugsy_lenny

[quote] I agree! I have a friend collecting Lollypops because they are all so beautiful LOL XD [/quote] Ooo really? I just recently aquired a very new lollipop that was released April 1st. There are only two others besides mine on the trading post and I'm looking to sell quickly. It's a Mud Lollipop r92. With mine included only 3 up for sale right now. Ask if your friend is interested in it?? :P I'll make an amazing deal :D

I have been doing chocolate/baked and I have been doing great. The last few days I have made between 60k-100k profit a day. I know thats nothing for you big shops but I'm happy with it. And I restock as already stated; shops and SW. I love it.

Seriously. x) buuut, if you price well according to the SW, you'll start seeing profits. [/quote] Yeah. It`s a really good seller if its close to SW prices or if its under SW price. Other than that, I felt as if I had to work harder to get the profit which is why I found that category to be difficult and switched to a much profitable category: Maps & Neggs. Although, it`s a slow pace sale, when I do sell my item, it`s incredibly profitable. I`ve recently taken the 1000NP category also and its paying off so much. But then again, I have so many people from the malling business that have been doing Sweets, Bakery, Food, Drinks and they love it. It really depends if you love what you do. If you don`t, I think that`s when you get bored. You're in for a surprise. Your wish has just been granted! http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=1434sweet Do you need more shop sales?

You are right that it does take a lot of work. I find my self restocking 2-3 of times a day sometimes. And I'm constantly scanning the Neopian shops for items. It feeds my shop-aholic side of me since I don't have any real money to go shopping with. :)
