Is it a waste of money to expand your shop?

Seriously, is it? I mean, if your shop is like a size 3 or 4, rn't u allowed to fit in at least 15, 20 items? I don't understand why people make their shop like a size 30 or something then they have like 10 of items in stock when nobody buys it. I mean, unless I am desperate to get rid of my np, I would just expand my shop. But why not go to the auctions or trading post? That doesen't cost anything and you can get items offered + np in the trades and you can get people to bid + the price of your item in the auctions? Any1 agree with me? Seriously, though

 

I have a big size shop because I Ab 100+ items a day

 

Doesen't cost like a LOT of np though?

 

People have big shops because they want more people to see it in the marketplace. And they have major inlfated prices on their items.

 

It costs a ton of neopoints. But it pays off in the end because I saw this one board where people were talking about their guild tills. One person had 1.208 mil in it because of their mall.

 

I actually never looked at it that way. I don't withdraw from my guild till because it is for my guild. We are up to 70,000 np because of donations nad stuff like that.

 

It does pay off eventually, but only if you got ton of np to spare originally.
Trades aren't very good options because few people bid on trades when they can just buy something off user's shops.

 

Neither did I. I used to think the same question. I was always like why do they spend tons of money on their shops? But I found it out by lurking on the boards.

 

Yeah, it is quicker and also the TP can only go up to 800k in nps. But auctions can be much higher. How high can auctions get to?

 

dont' bother upgfrading your shop a few sizes...if your going to upgrade, upgrade to main market...should cost about 20 million or so...i make atleast 150k a day even if i don't go on neopets

 

o_0 How much does it cost to get a size 500 shop? Do you know?

 

For size 500, I think it costs somewhere around 30 mil? I can't remember, but most people have bigger shops because they don't want to be bothered by having small shops and having to reprice items all the time.

 

30 mil!!!! WHOA!!! They could've used that money for at least some BD items or something! But I guess after awhile it pays itself off.

 

Those that have size 500 shops probably already have their dream BD set. :wink:

 

Do you think those people have ever ABed? Or are they resellers?

 

some will have but not all
there are other legit ways of making np

 

Probably most have ABed.

 

My account is 1 month old and I have got my shop upto a size 40 legitimately and I'm still going to keep expanding. The bigger your shop is, the more customers you will get as it is more likely to show up on the Shop Wizard. Also, having a wider range of items is good for business as if someone comes to purchase one item, they often end up buying another one or two or three.. I'm sure you see my point

So, in short, yes; I think it is worth expanding your shop ^_^

 

is that true? the more you expand your shop, the more likely it is to show up in the shop wiz?

 

It's worth expanding your shop cause' you get to have a variety of items to sell.. xxx___ what you said is true.. But I don't think it'll display more on the Shop Wizard.. The shop Wizard refreshes or searches in username groups so it's unlikely that what you said is possible.. On top of that, people are going for the cheapest prices these days in Neopia so even if you have a large shop but your items are slightly above the market price, I don't think many people will come.. I've tried doing that once in a while people do come but more often than not, no sales are made..
