Stand Alone shop?

Submitted by phrawst on Tue, 18/08/2009 - 11:06am
Is it worth leaving a mall to go stand alone to try out a new category? My mall doesnt have the spot open so I can't try it out... but I don't know if I would be successful without a mall. What do you think?

[quote=supre_drake]As much as I don't want to, I'm considering dropping my category of backgrounds & wearables since university has started back up and... the stock is literally impossible to keep up with on my school days, especially given the amount of coursework that my degree requires. I might be switching to neohome or something like that which is still open in my mall. My mall graphic is kind of big, too though. I get mixed reviews about it. Most people either love it or hate it. I think wearables stand alone would do well enough too though, especially if you were in a NB ad & watched your hut.[/quote] What major are you in?

I think if you are planning to change category neohome wouldn't be a smart move. I tried it a couple of years back and I was stocking just as frequently as I am wearables. I actually did neohome while I was doing my degree, super tough to keep up with.

Political Science & Pre-law, with a double minor in English and History. Basically, a delicious amount of reading and writing. :P

If its time thats an issue, I would suggest PBs. Good profits, and you usually only need to spend like 5-10 minutes a day restocking :P Although when I wasn't in a mall my sales with PBs was pretty pathetic :/

You wouldn't mind if I send you my future essays for proofread then? ;) LOL. I'm so bad in English. I rather memorize stuff than to analyze a bunch of readings.

I did wearables and wasn't in a mall. Made lots of NP :) But it was a pain to keep up with, yes - especially because [since I wasn't in a mall] I had to price lower in order to get hits. I was restocking 100% in the Neopian shops, except for items that aren't buyable there.
