What's your first thought when you are bought out?

Submitted by Shannara on Thu, 24/12/2009 - 12:13am
This is a first for me. After I completely restocked my shop (300 items) at around 3 am (12 am NST) a few hours later I was bought out by three people! One person bought the bulk of it. I was really happy but then I cringed and felt like crawling into a hole and never coming out at the thought of having to restock everything again. I spent hours looking for cheap items to sell high and pricing accordingly making sure my shop seemed cheap with some expensive items here and there ( I try not to be below the SW) and I made my own database written by hand to make it easier for myself when restocking, which made it easier for me now to restock. Has this happened to any of you? http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=pearlsilver

At size 415 (over 2000 items) it's not going to happen to me. But I did have a MM person come in and buy me out of everything under 2K. I went from fully stocked to down almost 800 items in 20 minutes. Profits are nice but RSing and wizzing that many items took me half the day. I went and looked to see what they did with the items and everything I sold for 1K, they were now selling for 3K. Lucky them! It's even worse when someone comes in and buys 1 or 2 of every item and you have 350 items to RS. Profits are nice though:D

I got bought out once a few months ago by two people. Profits were awesome, but restocking all those items was booring. XD It never happened again... sales kind of died since then. The Preschool Mall: Petpet Paradise http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=mizleah

Hopefully prices drop soon so I can go and buy in bulk and store items in my SDB. I want to upgrade my shop to 80 or higher.

My first thought when someone buys me out = "YAY!" The second thing I think of is.."more room!" At first, it happened a lot - where I got completely bought out. Now, about once or twice a week I have some poor soul come in and go nuts in my shop to the tune of 50-75k. Usually I have a replacement item in my deposit box, or can easily buy it cheaply. So it doesnt bother me when soemone does it.
