Wide variety or many of the same items?

Submitted by lisa_Sweet_girl on Sat, 22/08/2009 - 11:36am
Hi, I just started malling a couple of days ago, and I've always wondered which is better: to have many of the same items or to have a wide variety of items? I sell faerie items and my shop size is 91, in case anyone wants to know. :P

o.o Must be xD I need to get round to mass stocking some of the stuff that sells out daily, but I think, until I've completed my category, I'm happy restocking and keeping a constant eye on it :) Besides, breaks up the monotony of other neo stuff :P

Thaks, guys. It's pretty clear from what everyone said that variety is much better. XD I'll get to stocking lots of new items. :) I want to find out what I sell the most of, but I don't know how to do it on the Neomallers Portal... it's kind of confusing. XD Can anyone help?

Go to "manage stock" then click "rankings" you can tell what you sold by amount, profit, quantity etc. It's great knowing how much you've sold and what is the most profitable. Hope that helps.

I've got a Faerie themed shop too :). Best to keep a decent variety of items wherever possible for the simple reason that you are more likely to get hits through the Shop Wizard (depending on how you price). I tend to buy from the Super Shop Wizard and then price most of my items at the lowest price in my Shop Wizard group. As my username begins with a 't', my group is the 't' and 'g' usernames. So I check what they are selling for and price accordingly, always at a profit. The wider variety of items you do this with, the more likely you are to get Shop Wizard hits, who then may buy more than one item. I find my customers usually do :)

Variety--I would be happy with 600 or so items--bur money hasn't permitted yet. The method of madness for me has been to re-stock items once I get down to 2 items in stock then I add back in 10 items when the price is under 99np 5 items between 100nps to 5000nps once I get down to one left I add 2 for items between 5000 and 9500np carry and restock 1 of each item over 10k.
