Switching Categories

I am switching from Avatars/Packrat/Random to Food -- hurray! Thanks for those of you who said to just keep waiting and one day I would be able to get back to Food. You were right! I am using all of my sales of non-food items for upgrading. Since yesterday I have upgraded from size 165 to 181 - that's 552,000 NP in sales in 24 hours which is pretty amazing for me -- and I didn't lose any profit! (Sorry for running the Shop Wizard hits up to 121 yesterday.) In addition to some great deals in my shop I have some trades up: Map pieces, scratchcards, petpets (the Gallion is for my son), and backgrounds. Feel free to neomail me to let me know you saw this ad so I know you are from Neomallers (unless you are a top poster and then I pretty much know you :)

[quote]I was wondering how long it would take to have 500-1000 shares of every stock with the buy-what-ever's-at-15-each-day strategy. I think I will buy 1,000 shares daily and if 3 are at 15 then I'll buy 333 shares; if 2, then 500 each... Hopefully that increases the odds of profits while minimizing the risk of losing a gob of points at once. Hedge your bets & diversify, right?[/quote] If you do that, it's annoying when you sell since you gotta sell them in 333 bits. Not to mention, it takes longer and pretty soon you'll get bored and miss out on bigger profit

I thought they just went in all together. Ex: If I end up with 1,333 shares that I want to sell I would have to sell as 333, 500, 500 instead of the whole lot? I I'm just trying to get into as many stocks as I can so I can watch them. I can't watch that page with all of them like I can a portfolio with the +/- factored for me. After I get 10-20, I'll stop buying like that....maybe, LOL! Who knows what I'll learn if I actually try to watch the market. Hey, D -- what about a stock feature so we can keep historical stock data? There isn't anything like that is there -- 52 wk high/low, historical volume, etc. so we could see the patterns?

The computer wouldn't now which ones (lots) to pay out if you didn't sell them all... one lot is +30, another is -10; DUH! Thanks! Sorry, I am just buying the at the moment and didn't even notice the little drop down list. ~ Mimi ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~ Mimi's Ménagerie ~ http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=temps_bons&misc

[quote=temps_bons]Whaddya think? (I thought I'd limit the mention all the items EVERY food shop has on their front page) I'm not in any market so I left out "CLICK HERE" http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/6594/asianfoodshopsign.jpg Alternate Design: http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/8066/orangefoodshopsign.jpg ~ Mimi ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~ Mimi's Ménagerie ~ http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=temps_bons&misc[/quote] I love both the banners. Very nice and clean looking. I was thinking of making something like that for my shop, just haven't gotten around to it yet. I think the second banner places more emphasis on the food, but you could always use both. Use one for a month and then switch to the other. And yay for you being at 210 now!

I love that idea!! Maybe I can put the one with the pets eating on my pet descriptions or something. The orange one is growing on me especially since my new mall's banner has orange in it. ~ Mimi ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~ Mimi's Ménagerie ~ http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=temps_bons&misc

Alrighty, I think I know the answer to this question but here goes: should I upgrade to spooky market even though I can't be on top of my hut, or even close to the top? I am a size 210 right now and 219 looks to be a good spot. That would be a benchmark goal for me so I could then just slowly move up....and it's only 385,200 NP. I need to get to size 250 ASAP but can't afford to yet. BTW, how do shop sizes work with hut placement? If everyone is a size X who is top and who is bottom of the size X'ers? Whomever gets there first, last, etc? ~ Mimi ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~ Mimi's Ménagerie ~ http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=temps_bons&misc

You need size 270 for spooky. And shop sizes are ordered reverse alpha for same sizes and if different, ordered from highest to lowest

[quote=Dmitri]You need size 270 for spooky.

I cllicked all the way through until I couldn't go any further on the last hut. What a mess that market is! So Z is first in the list of same size shops?

It doesn't work that way Mimi. While technically you would be in spooky via what you said of clicking and searching pages back, you wont benefit from that as you wouldn't be visible via a hut that you can actually click on. Therefore the requirement for spooky is size 270 something ___________ [color=gray]Kirsty, aka evil super mod[/color] [size=11][i]Sniper, maller, restocker Silverdragon siggy stealer Best wearables shop owner ever![/i][/size]
