I am probably missing something but...
When I paste my new shop front into the portal, it will update my database, but instead of registering a decrease in items as selling it simply takes them out... I am probably missing something but how do I change this? I know i can submit my shop history for anything over 1k, but what do i do for those items below? I tried reading the tutorial but couldn't find anything on this. Operatin system: Windos Vista Home Premium Browser: FF V3.5 Portal Version: Pro 9.0.0

The shop front does not calculate sales. All it does is just update your database. There is a manual way to "emulate" sales under 1k via the emulate feature in item DB but it needs work. personaly, i dont find much use in pricing stuff below 1k. The profit margin just doesnt justify the amount of work to keep them in stock

[color=#33CCFF]Instead of having items that cost under 1K -- only stock the ones that are more than 1K. The few you do stock put them at 1K and if they sell great, you know what sold. If they don't well you know you will always have stock in your shop! You'd be surprised what people will buy for 1K in a shop! I have many (two pages) under 1K but I have them over SW so they don't sell super quickly and 2 pages is all I can keep up with. Emulating the sales in Portal really doesn't take long if you put more than 1-2 of each item. I usually stock 4 on my first two pages so I am sure to see when it gets low (then I emulate the sales and add stock).

Yeah every once in a while I'll stick some "Cheap as Free" junk in my shop at something like 1358np so that it LOOKS like a sw price ;) --- Step outside, take a breath of fresh air, then look down to see if you have a new text message.
