Advice- categories+malls?

Submitted by Pirateowns on Tue, 18/01/2011 - 9:08pm
Hi, my neopets account is ancient_realms. I have been malling for several months now and am now seeking some more advice. I actively seek knowledge cauz thats how I roll 8D. I've read just about every thread inside this forum category and I still have tons of things I am curious about. First off, I'm wondering if I should switch to training/maps/luck + PBs/MPs/neggs. I currently run a food shop and in around 10 days, I have made around 800k in profits. As a note, I restock in the main shops on occasion too. I'm not loving how slow food is most of the compared to how much effort I put in. I SW price a good deal of restocks, but most of my sales come from the Shop Ads board. I spend an estimated 4 hours a day advertising my shop on weekdays, but on weekends, I'm usually doing so for 10+ hours. Perhaps a bit obsesive, but it works. How would I do with PBs/MPs/neggs + training/luck/maps? I use to do training/luck/maps, it was my favorite, but when I compared my profits, it took me 22 days to make 800k. I was curious whether PBs/MPs/neggs would be a decent supplement to the category. Now it brings in my second request for advice. I'm currently in the Preschool branch of the Nursery Malls. The people in the mall are amazing, but my branch has little to no people who either wiz price their shop or advertise their shop as compensation for their prices. I was recently rejected of being allowed the two potential categories above currently opened in the Preschool branch, so my question is whether or not I should go independent for a bit or just be content in getting one spot in the branch. I make note that my shop's hit average is around 100, whereas members of the Preschool branch are generally 15- in average hits. To show an example, I came home from school with 14 hits below my mall member of 15. I'm going to sleep with around 80ish hits, but my member has barely moved 2 hits during that whole time. Some days I just feel like I am carrying the branch. ------------------------------------- *star*MODERATOR NOTICE | ** LOCKED ** At the request of user(s) -------------------------------------

If I had any experience in those categories you wanna do, I'd give you advice. You get to state your opinion about us freely, say rude and hurtful things, but apparently I'm only allowed to say positive things about you. I don't think that's fair at all...

If you just wanted shop advice, why did you have to go about in such an offensive way? I'm sorry you felt like we were attacking you. But the way I feel it, you attacked us, and we defended ourselves. There's a lot of other things I could say, but I won't bother.

My opinions are focused around shops. Your opinion is just personal attacks on me. Difference? I think so. I'm not attacking members personally. If you feel that you are hurt by my opinion on my branch members "dedication" to malling. Then I suggest you simply ignore it or work to improve yourself so that you cannot be subject to my criticisms even though you were not the subject of them originally. If you have anything else to add please go ahead, I'm looking forward to see your basis for me hurting people's feelings. Though as I enjoy refering to, nobody took account of my feelings, though neutral, when I was neomailing "Thank You" mails. I believe you were one the one that called me the "creepy stalker" C: If you don't have the experience for those categories, then you're free to ignore the thread as many others do. Edited for 2nd post. I did not attack apart from the dedication issue."The people in the mall are amazing, but my branch has little to no people who either wiz price their shop or advertise their shop as compensation for their prices." That definitely looks like I am attacking you right? Talking about how great the people are, but I just dislike the dedication. If you feel like my branch members do not deserve criticism for their dedication, I would like to see some info of their recent profits and activity levels.

To clear things up, I'm 100% sure I never called you a creepy stalker. I might have said something along the lines of, "People might find it creepy or stalkerish", or "It might come ACROSS that way." I'll leave the rest for a PM.

If you did not say it, it leads other people into saying things like that is that not true? If you saw an explosion and nobody saw what happened. You just happen to scream terrorist and then random person that just happens to be Muslim comes by. People are generally going to join you in screaming terrorists. Other may act harsher just because of what you said. What if the explosion was just noise for some movie set? What if worse things happened just because what you said lead into it? Perhaps not a reliable example, but it gets the point across.
