[quote=bugsybogis][quote=TKDJamesPakTKD][quote=bugsybogis] I wouldn't advice malling if you are not in the market though. It's best to use all the money you have to upgrade your shop to island market and join a mall accepting shop sizes like that. Below Island marketplace, sales are really terrible :k and thinking of using the money you make from your shop only to upgrade isn't a good idea. :) Try RSing? ^^ _______________________________________________ Bugsy's GUIDE to Effective SHOPKEEPING and MALLING: Version 3: Learn More About Hut Positioning http://www.neopets.com/~bugsy_lenny [/quote] When I was around Size 350 for about a month and malling I only averaged 30k a day. 50k on a good day. When I was in a 4mil ad I was lucky to make 100k on peak day. If you like these numbers then go ahead and mall (: --- Gosh.. I havent log into fb in like a week! haha. Im not connected to the real world atm O:) See my new screenie petpage? (: http://www.neopets.com/~TKDChampion www.youtube.com/TKDJamesPakTKD Check out my Martial Arts samplers =)[/quote] ^ Same :) Is that in profit? Because when I was that size I was only making 50-70k a day in SALES only. Meaning, super low profit :k _______________________________________________ Bugsy's GUIDE to Effective SHOPKEEPING and MALLING: Version 3: Learn More About Hut Positioning http://www.neopets.com/~bugsy_lenny [/quote] Definitely try RSing! My average sales each day is around 300k. I think that's pretty good for a size 160 shop, but about 70% of that comes from items I restocked and then sold at wiz price. Malling isn't much at our shop sizes... you gotta have another source of income to earn enough and upgrade to MM. ;) The Preschool Mall: Petpet Paradise http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=mizleah

I really love my neggs and training shop. I'm size 115 and I could easily average over 100k profits per day. Right now I've upped my prices some so a little less profit (though higher %) to spend less time stocking. I'm averaging 70k in profits per day at the moment. I tried the shop ads board but I don't have the patience for it. I tried a few days and got 1 or 2 small sales. I get maybe 1 or 2 mall and/or neoboard hits every few days. A couple from my neoboard signature and shop directory pet pages. Most from SW though I don't price many of my items on the SSW, and then some from Other hits. I tried for a short time stocking water faerie quest books, and I wasn't making any profit. I think losing NP actually at my size and pricing on the SSW, due to deflation.

But I barely see a difference when I advertise a ton of not. I know for me - selling maps - its best to keep 1-3 pieces lowest on SW for my username and therefore when someone comes in they'll buy the rest of the pieces even though they aren't the cheapest. Plus SSW snipes for the maps helps a ton. http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=evilbluemunkeyz

^Nice Strategy. --- Step outside, take a breath of fresh air, then look down to see if you have a new text message.

I'm seriously considering changing categories to Petpets... I think I need to get out of my element a bit. How much did it cost you to get your shop stocked Leah?

That's not too bad. ANd not nearly as stressful as keeping my book shop stocked... Everything would inflate so fast and then deflate... I'm wanting to try petpets because: 1. I've heard it was profitable. 2. I want to try something new and get out of my comfort zone :) 3. It's open in my mall, so why not choose something to help it out as well?
