I don't know what to sell *unsure* Currently I sell Luck but it just doesn't feel right to me anymore. Plus in malling, it gets paired with other stuff or just doesn't exist (same with NB ads). I've thought about doing some other categories but I'd like any advice/tips on them before I decide. I can see myself selling pretty much all of them except a few. I would be a general store, but I don't really think thats for me. I just don't know what to do *cry*

I love luck! And its not such a bad thing if it gets paired up with other things... usually its with Training or Neggs which both sell well ^_^ I think the most popular categories right now are Neohome and Wearables, but they are also gonna be tougher to get into malls/ads because they are so popular...

Also the the amount of items to stock is not too much too.

Yeah I do like smaller categories like Training and Neggs (although I have never sold them). I've thought about pretty much all of them, but PB kind of stands out to me slightly. But the stock is pretty expensive. I don't liek Furniture. At all *lol* .:| Luck |:. http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=heartlessness_&banner

I dont like Furni/Garden either, personally :D PBs seem like a great category, but yea, they add up really fast, so you have to have a lot of NPS to spend to stock up your shop

I think PBs is where I want to eventually get to. I'll have about 1m whenever my Luck stock sells. I'm not sure that will get me far though *unsure* .:| Luck |:. http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=heartlessness_&banner

1mil?? Yea probably not too far. If youre doing just PBs (and not pb plushies, etc), then your average buyable PB is 50-100k each? Lets say 75k average... 1mil will buy you 13 pbs :D I think you'll need alot more nps than that if you want to have a good PB shop.

So much for that. Now we're back to where we started *unsure* .:| Luck |:. http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=heartlessness_&banner

Well what else interests you? Since you're a small shop, it would probably be good if you stocked a category that you can RS at the neopian shop, so that you make decent profits. Maybe books? Foods? Take a look at the notice board ads, cehck out all the different categories that exist and see what you think you might like

I think I'll try that for a while. I know I said I hate general stores but it seems to be the best option at the moment, at least until i get some more saved up and upgrade some. Thanks for the advice (: .:| Luck |:. http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=heartlessness_&banner
