Malling without the ssw

Submitted by kirsty_to_stay on Sun, 21/06/2009 - 12:00pm
Until now i've always malled with the ssw, however funds are crap right now so premiums not a great option, plus i'm finding from a few days now of stocking with the sw that it can be affective. The speed at which i'm stocking is driving me insane though, getting nowhere fast. Just wondering who else here malls with just the sw? Any tips to stop me getting pissed off at the thing, since yeah, 5 - 10 items is all i'm managing per hour since i'm searching each item 20 times to maximise profits

malling without SSW? *shudders* :P good luck kirsty :) Whenever I run out of SSW searches and desperately need to search something, I search for the item 3-5 times, then keep track of which search was the cheapest, and keep on searching until you find that search again or a cheaper search. That might save you a few searches. Another thing is if you put the price you bought at in the neomallers portal, you could use that as a rough guide to how much you should pay. Hope that helps, and be brave :O :P

I mall with SW, though my shop is only in the Spooky Marketplace. I usually just buy the items im looking for from the people who are selling them in large quantities, saves me time even though it costs a bit more.

I am tempted to head to the bulk stockers :P I have been doing this category a while so I do have a few usernames noted down of those who price reasonably and have loads in stock, I am really tight with my np though, hence the 20 searches thing 0:-) Haha thanks for the good luck, thats pretty much what i'm doing, but to an insane degree, just to be sure i'm buying one of if not the cheapest. My current technique is to have 3 sw tabs open lol, one with the cheapest i've found so far, one with my letter category (when i find it anyway) and another to keep searching with, seems a bit obsessive *lol*

I mall with SW. And I'm happy with it. Seriously.

Good luck. PBs came with my category when I started with TML, and I hated stocking pbs at first because I had to use the SW. Now it's not part of my category, and I still stock a few. :D Maybe maps or PBs is a good category? If you're not looking to switch categories, then keep up the good work. I know it's slow, but I know you can do it. I have no other suggestions for you since you do it a little.... obsessively :P

I had considered category switching to be honest, paint appealed greatly :P But i'm not about to go and kick out my paint shop just because I can't afford to have premium for a while (i've kicked people out for less to be honest 0:-)) But yes, wearables is my dream category. I couldn't get online much for a while due to being busy in rl, we moved and stuff, so i'm behind in stocking as it is. Guess I just need to catch up

PBs cant be ssw'd so i just bookmark cheap shops and buy from them everday. And with cookie grabbers running wild, it might be safer too.

I never was premium before tbh :) I guess I don't really see the benefit of it except maybe the SSW. But I mainly restock everything with the main neopian shops. I don't have a great shop yet, but I believe the hardest part is getting your shop fully stocked, not maintaining it ;) The only items in my shop I did buy from the shop wizard are the r101 items or retired items. For these items I just see how much lowest in sw is for my category and I buy the lowest I can find after a couple of refreshes. I've been considering to buy premium, but I really doubt it is worth the cash... You don't seem to get that much from it ;)
