[quote=eeukqicmaj]I am not sure anymore nicann4 could tell you though but when I did furniture I made a killing, but it is a huge cat. to stock and sales seemed better when you had a wide variety to sell. Currently I do training, codestones, dubloons, etc. LOVE it as it is so easy to stock I only have three pages in my shop and you just stock multiples and last check I was at about 42% profit or so. Hope this helps.[/quote] I once did training & faeries but I found sales were slow compared to Scratchcards. However, today in general is just PAINFUL for sales, and I'm actually LOSING money RSing & stuff. :( ________________________________ Are you feeling lucky? Click Here!

I find everything but my avatars are a gain. I mean I don't lose any nps, but I don't gain enough so that if it was my only category I could survive. I really only took it because it allowed me to stock some petpets =P My DREAM shop would be petpets, training, and neggs.

Really with a shop size of 35 you should not be too worried about doing one cat. you should be selling whatever you can get your hands on. You will make the most profit with your size of shop by snipping items with the ssw or the sw. Just make a notepad file and list 20 to 30 items that are commonly mispriced. Things like codestones, faeries, paint brushes, map pieces. You know things that people get from keyquest and random events. Last night I spent 2 hours and sniped 16 lemon swirly neggs from the ssw and the sw both. They sell lowest at 5400 I bought whatever I could find 3k and under. Got 3 or 4 for under 1k each. So profit in two hours was at least 32,000 and that is if I paid 3k for each and then sold all at 5k. I didn't I was collecting negg points but I could have, sold them quickly for that price.

Try stocking a bit of everything, you'll get a better understanding of what you enjoy to stock and what you get the most profit from. It also depends on HOW people stock their shops. Do they RS or buy from other users shops? Regular wiz? SSW? There are a lot of factors. The best way to figure out what category to stock is to try stocking the items and you'll fall in love with a category. :P

I don't have thee ssw (though I wish I did), and I have limited patience. Are there any techniques to it? ________________________________ Are you feeling lucky? Click Here!

I RSd Mysterious Valentines Cards when they were in the gift shop, and made a load of profit, as well as Christmas PBs when they were the advent giveaway, Cloud PBs when they were given away by tarla. Unfortunately, searching these now won't bring much of a profit, but when something happens on neo that people get big items for free, it's worth the time to refresh the wiz :D

No real tech needed. Pick and item and start refreshing through the wiz for it, is about it. It does take some patience, and a little bit to get to know the prices of your items. It always seemed like I got more SHH when I was in the wiz searching for things too, but I am sure it is because of all the refreshing you do in there.
