People who complain about prices for profit!
NOTHING make me more ticked off than the constant nattering I get from noobs & even experienced players about the fact that my shop is "way overpriced" and "more than the wiz". First of all, my markups are NOT that high, as a matter of fact! If you took a look at the BIG MALLS out there, you would think I was dirt cheap! Secondly, I KNOW THEY ARE MORE THAN THE WIZ!!!! You DO NOT have to repeatedly TELL ME OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND UGHHHHHH!!!! It's called PROFIT! P - R - O - F - I - T That's when I buy an item at a lower price, and sell it for more. You, the customer, are paying more the convenience of not having to search everywhere in the wiz because you are able to buy what you need in my store all in one go! PROFIT is NOT AGAINST THE RULES, and NO -- IT IS NOT A REPORTABLE OFFENSE, you dimwits! Nothing makes me angrier than nobbiemissessuesue who decides to repeatedly follow me through the boards and harass me about my prices and threaten to report me at every corner. It DRIVES ME UP THE WALLLLLL!!!!!! Does anyone else get this problem?! It's the BIGGEST MOST ANNOYING THING EVERERERERERER! Oh, something else -- IF YOU DO NOT WIN ON MY SCRATCHCARDS, YOU DO NOT GET A FREAKIN' REFUND!!! It's LUCK & CHANCE for a REASON! Nothing is guaranteed!!! As you can see, I've pretty much been putting up with people like this all day! A big thank you goes out to those NeoMallers who have helped me & stood up to others with me on the shop boards, as well as those who aren't NeoMallers and whom won't be reading this. /endrant

I completely agree. It annoys me how they think we are ripping people off and does not consider people's "noobishness". You're in for a surprise.

As sad as it is, get used to it. I get mails all the time, even when it's priced the lowest on the SSW. Most of my prices DO show up on the SSW. If the mail is irritating enough to me, I simply wiz it, copy and paste, send. Then the apologies and excuses start rolling in lol

I don't understand why they forget that they have the choice to buy or not to buy. They are the only ones in control of their NPs and if they want, they can SW every item and get the lowest price available. OR they can just buy what we're selling and be glad they saved an hour of their play time! ~ Mimi _____________________________________________________ Mimi's Ménagerie: Healthy Tastes Good Here! http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=temps_bons

Lately, I've just been trying to ignore it, you know? But some people are nice enough about it that I manage to have a civilized discussion and turn it into a strange neofriendship. The worst is when they come at you with their claws out shrieking "SCAMMEEERRR!!!! U PRIZES 2 HIGH!" ________________________________ Are you feeling lucky? Click Here!

I have found it best that I do not reply to these people and just stay off the boards. I am in general a very sweet person, but at times I do not know when or how to hold my tongue. So it is in my best interest to block these people and go on with my day. In fact I have 114 people on my blocked list right now. I just counted

I only get a limited number of views from the shop wizard. Without the boards, I'd never sell anything. ________________________________ Are you feeling lucky? Click Here!

I remember those days all too well. You will get up and out of there, that is if you want to. Some people prefer the smaller shops I know. So I can understand how it is hard for you to ignore them. Just be careful not to cross any lines tnt has set them being annoying is not worth losing your account over.

I too get neomails telling me I need to lower my prices.. even when I'm number one on the SSW. What line irritates me the most though, and I know it's just a technicality but it bugs me still lol is: "Lower than SW or SSW" It bugs me because you cannot be lower than the lowest price.. ever *lol*
