Main Market: Get there slowly or make the leap?

Submitted by _jaspeh_ on Tue, 26/05/2009 - 10:00am
So I originally had this goal of getting to Main Market by the end of the summer, going slowly, doing occasional upgrades. But many people have been talking about great summer sales. So Ive been considering if it would be advantageous for me to make the leap to main market now, and maximize my summer sales. I could sell off I couple gallery items to fund the leap and they would be hidden tower items so that I could rebuy them at about the same price (SoS and Pbs). Another thing to consider is that I will be staying in the same mall (which isnt main market, but min size is 390 I think). So I wont get any advantage of main mallers linking to me, it would just be my shop moving up into a main hut. Any comments /suggestions/etc are welcome =)

Good luck, jaspeh! And congratulations on your mall spot! It's already a huge advantage that you're with a good mall. Since upgrading, I've been searching around for a good main market mall and it really feels like upgrading all that was only part of the battle.

[quote=_jaspeh_]It's not impossible :D Just keep working at it! Thanks for the advice, peetree :D Since I started this thread, I decided to try and sell off items to get to main quicker. Got more "proactive" about it :P I went from size 460 to 512 so far, spending 5mil. Now I need another 9.8m to get to 600. I got about 2.5m so far :D Im *trying* to sell off random UBs (and SDB items) to get there, without needing to sell any gallery items... but Ill probably end up getting impatient and sell stuff cause my last UBs arent selling too quick :P Luckily, I wont have to change categories, so Im very happy about that! :D My branch in Roo Island (Land of Roo) is making the move to main market... encouraging members to upgrading, changing the min shop size to join and also starting 4mil ads :D We arent really main yet, but it's moving there, so Im happy with that ^_^ Good luck to everyone working on main!! I've been malling almost 2 years now :P just dont give up[/quote] Within a few months to get to main market, I would have to sell all my rares in my trades. I actually tried doing that but I noticed after selling 5 rares that I really like those rares for safekeeping instead of selling it for reseller prices. How about you? Did you sold your UB for reseller prices? Or your rares are ETS? Anyways, it looks like your journey to being in a main market is running smoothly now but I just hope that it doesn't take 2 years for me to get to main market. So far, I've been malling for four months. You're in for a surprise. Your wish has just been granted! http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=1434sweet Do you need more shop sales?

GL Angel and Sweet :) Most of my UBs have been sort of ETS. I was lowest on TP (and sometimes discounted as well) , but not crazy amounts. I have a few left that arent moving tho :P
