whats so special about size 200? I say use your neopoints to restock if your connection is good enough, snipe, do anything and just save for a big jump to main, much more worth your time and effort. If you insist upon heading to size 200, or have too slow a connection to rs effectively then you have a slow process ahead of you (note i said if the connection is crap, not you. If your connection is good enough then you can learn to be good too, unless you have some sort of injury or illness anyhow). I can't advise best on how to do things the slow way as I funded my initial shop upgrading with other incomes. ___________ [color=gray]Kirsty, aka evil super mod[/color] [size=11][i]Sniper, maller, restocker Silverdragon siggy stealer Best wearables shop owner ever![/i][/size]

[quote=bdonballer2]I am going by goals. My last goal was 150. Now it is 200 and then it is 250. it makes it easier for me:D[/quote] I understand this. I have to upgrade in small leaps like that too. I am only at 165. RSing is great and playing games is too. Be sure to do all the freebies as those items come in handy when generating traffic. I typically save 50K in the bank each day from my shop till and use the rest on RS'ing. If I need more for RSing I play games. Typically I try to get as much as I can on 1/2 price day in any category and use those items throughout the month to price at SW. I use my bank for upgrading and NB ads and 1/2 price day. Hope that helps. _____________________________________________________ ~ Mimi's Ménagerie Avatars ~ http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=temps_bons&misc

i only got into the shops aspect of np about 2 months ago lol. up until then i just made money off the stocks. i had 13m in the bank and a size 10 shop. i think i spent about 6m in sizes straight up, then stocked a million in items, then 2-3m more in sizes and stocks. originally i had quite low prices so money came in very fast with decent enough profits at my size to keep upgrading at a solid rate. atm im 290 or something, with 3m spare in the bank, which im keeping for now in case im low on cash. i havent done any upgrades in the last few days, as ive put my profits back into extra stocks. i think last i checked 600 was about 30 million though, so im not really sure what ill do from here haha. maybe ill win lotto... btw are your prices decent on the sw? i just had a quick look at your shop and the prices are all nice and exact, cbf checking wiz lol, but at these sizes you basically rely on the wiz. all i could suggest is to buy items that sell well in bulk from a sw group that is selling them at a lower price than your group, up the price a little and upgrade a size or two whenever you are happy with your sales. compared to most here ive got no idea though :D

Nooooo, don't waste your money on noticeboard ads. They are hardly worth it for 4 mill ones and just plain useless if its less.
