Portal Idea-Average Profit

Submitted by six on Fri, 01/01/2010 - 9:52am
Hi Dmitri You know when you are looking at the details of an item on the left above "emulate sales" Item Name- #sold- last sold date Total Sales- Total Costs Net ***(Average Profit per Item sold-822NP) Would you be able to add Average Profit? And give me the ability to rank and compare? What I want to see is the average profit per item compared to another item. If it's too much trouble, that's okay. I just thought this might be a helpful feature in trying to decide what to stock up on in the future based on Quantity Sold and Profit per Item. Hope this makes sense, *unsure*

Yeah it's possible but might take time to process it since it would have to generate it on-the-fly because every time you sell something, this average would need to be re-adjusted and if you have like 1000 unique items... might give the CPU a bit of a job to do lol --------------------------------------------- Celebrate [color=red]Xmas[/color] at [color=green]Xmart[/color].

Okay, I guess a ranking feature would be a bit excessive since we already have ranking tools for profit and quantity etc. And yes my CPU would probably crash. :P Still the average profit per item would still be a nice addition, but only if other users felt a need for it. My brain gets a little fried sometimes and I can't divide 30000 by 15 without a calculator. *lol* http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=atlantissix

For example, cheap items generally have a lower average profit per item while expensive ones, you can get away pricing it up for example by 10k-20k --------------------------------- Dmitri aka "the insensitive one" [size=11][i]Maller, restocker Kirsty siggy stealer Second Best wearables shop owner ever![/i][/size]
