Books is one of those categories that take a lot of effort. Yes, every category is profitable in the end as long as you do it right, but some take more time and dedication than others. The more items you need to stock, the more difficult and time consuming a category is. It just all depends on how much work you're willing to put into your shop.

Why is it that a LOT of people who stock Collectibles misspell their own category name? "Collectables?" Really? Doesn't anybody use Firefox/spell check any more? (This makes me wonder how many banners have the catergory name misspelled. :P) (P.S. - I am in no way here picking on anybody in particular, it just really irks me when I see things misspelled/improper grammar.) *** www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=nioe_yemar&misc Owner of Rainbow Fields Mall! /~Fiylayla - Join today!

*Points at signature* It -is- technically misspelled but the old cards are referred to as "Collectable Card". I'm quite sure this is where the term "collectable" originated from and most malls now refer to the category as such. I am aware of the word's proper spelling but collectables is the most frequently used term, and thus the term I use when advertising my shop. ..::Cerbie's Collectables::.. http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=cerberus_neo

[edit]Spelling Although "collectable" is the spelling listed first for the adjective by the Oxford English Dictionary and is standard spelling in British English, the dictionary observes that the "-ible" form is also valid, and has come to be common spelling in the United States. ----------------------------- [color=purple]Contrary to popular belief, the Irish and I are not married[/color]

I'm Canadian and would spell it Collectibles but that might be due to FireFox telling me to spell it as such. I'm surprised it won't recognize collectables as a valid way to spell the word if it's generally recognized as such... silly narrow minded browser! *Glares at FireFox* ..::Cerbie's Collectables::.. http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=cerberus_neo

I guess it's the same as color and colour, right?

Yep, same kind of thing as color and colour. Why can't everyone just agree on a spelling? Haha. I'm Canadian and I wonder why we have to add the "u"s to some words. It's just a waste of space and time! hehe.
