Malling without the ssw

Submitted by kirsty_to_stay on Sun, 21/06/2009 - 12:00pm
Until now i've always malled with the ssw, however funds are crap right now so premiums not a great option, plus i'm finding from a few days now of stocking with the sw that it can be affective. The speed at which i'm stocking is driving me insane though, getting nowhere fast. Just wondering who else here malls with just the sw? Any tips to stop me getting pissed off at the thing, since yeah, 5 - 10 items is all i'm managing per hour since i'm searching each item 20 times to maximise profits

When I shop with the sw I what I think is a low price I right click on the name and go to "copy link location". Then I search again .... if I find something lower I repeat process. When I am ready to buy I just copy the last one on to my browser search bar and buy.

When I was malling toys and plushies SSW wasn't that much of a concern. I was fine with the SW. Now that I'm in food and gourmet I live off the SSW - I would not mall in the category without it.

You don't need to search 20 times O.O search first time, open first or 2 or 3 cheapest shops, refresh, check if those are cheaper, refresh another 3 times and if no shop is cheaper, buy from the first ones you opened (on another tab) if they are, obviously, open those and search another couple of times... And it can actually help you if you are on a "not so big" shop/mall so you know what's the average price on YOUR wizard cattegory so you can price it only a bit overpriced for your cattegory but still a lot overpriced in general :P

Yeah Kirsty's a nub for searching each item 20 times. Imagine if she had all 1000 wearables that got glitched to 0np/out of stock. That would mean she'd be searching 20,000 times :*

Shudders at the thought of no ssw I don't have time for all that refreshing good luck though

I think not having the SSW is okay. I am curious what is the criteria that you are buying items from the SW? I usually can stock 50 - 75 items with the SW.

I'm actually someone who started malling wearables with the use of the delightful SSW and then had to cancel premium like 2 or 3 months ago. Honestly it's not as bad as you would think. I was dreading the thought of stocking sans ssw but it really has grown on me. SSW is still more convinient but there were so many hours where it got used up at the drop of a hat. So don't worry about it too much - if you do need to cancel premium you will adjust pretty quickly ^^

*shudder* I went through the same thing and had to go back to the regular wiz for about 6 months. It feels like torture at first, but once you get into the swing of things again you will be fine. Its just the habit. You most definitely don't need to go through 20 times. Get a feel for your list and watch for cheaper, it might not be *the* best but it will save you time and heartache. Bookmarking bulk stockers is a great idea.

I got slothed yesterday for almost a mil, so I need all my pure I can save right now! As I said before, the sw is having its advantages, i'm loving pricing with it, I think overall my profits will work out better with my new pricing system I now have
