    I'd like to make this sort of a thread where I can collect everyone's favorite shop to AB in, at what estimated profit range, and why.

    I'll start first.


    Stamp
    Price:10k+
    Why: Stamps are awesome to look at. Sometimes I don't even want to sell them because of some vague aesthetic collectors value that I get, but other than that it stocks enough for me to not go fucking insane not seeing an item bought for like 3 hours like in other shops, and otherwise shows good profit margin.

    Plushie
    Price: 50k+
    Why: Along with the same aesthetic pleasure I get from ABing stamp. I use this to balance my stamp line, not always getting high profit stamps make me log on to try to sell the HTS unbuyable plushies I ABed, pretty obscure reason, but works for me.

    Magic. Cause my connections slow-ish so I gotta take a few risks to keep nice and profitable. Also I hate having to get rid of tons of stuff (ie. 10-40k range profit) so I go for the biggy's.

    Also I do Book occasionally, just cause the items that stock there I hardly ever see so can be interesting to restock for a bit of variety.

    I personally AB in books because I own a bookstore and people are always buying books to raise their pets intelligence. But I've seen a decrease in book demand so now I AB in usuki(I usually go on late at night and clear the shop and wait for restocks if anyone wants to help :)

    Stamps are put into Stamp albums for collectors...besides making your account look good, I'm not really sure what other use they have.

    EDIT (on-topic):

    (58) Stamp
    The profit from just 1 good stamp can be as great as those of the Magic shop -- with a much less freeze rate :).

    Incredibly rare and expensive avatars are connected to them, for the ones that are not connected to an avatar they still might be in the future and also they just look good like a gallery of sorts.

    ^ And they're worth more than the other collectors' items (e.g. usukis) because once they're stuck in the albums, they cannot be removed.

    I typically go for chocolate and books. I've had a lot of luck in the past with faerie foods and snow foods though.

    Magic - MPs sometimes sell well, but are Very HTS depending on teh colour
