(I think this is the right place for this)

Anyway, I've been debating with myself over this issue for a while now. I love my snow gallery, but I'm also poor as dirt. I have a ton of items that I could sell for a good deal of money, but my store space is taken up by my gallery.

So, should I ditch the gallery idea and go for NP, or keep the gallery and live without NP?

Maybe you could move your gallery into another account?

Yep, that's what I was going to say. I'm starting a gallery, and it's on my spare account, because I'm poor as dirt, too!

You could take some of your gallery items out long enough to sell your stuff, then when you have more money put the items back in. Also when you get more np you could upgrade your shop to make it bigger. That's what I always end up doing.

It really depends on what you want to do.

If you have a high-speed modem, I'd say keep the gallery and start restocking to get np. It doesn't take long to get the hang of restocking, you just have to find a shop that's good for you to restock at. If you can't restock, or don't have ways of making money rather fast, it depends on what you care about more.

Do you want your snow items? Will you be glad that you sold them all? Is there something that you want more than your snow items, and is it really worth selling them? It just depends on how important your snow items are to you.

As for shop size, I don't know what to tell you there, that's a hard one.

I personally have a (small) Paint Brush gallery that I could sell for some fast np; however, I love my Paint Brushes and won't sell them for anything, mostly because if I sell them, I know I will probably never buy replacements.

Another random suggestion is to put your snow items in your SDB and work for the Pack Rat avatar. It frees your shop up, and, as an added bonus, if you save up every item you get from REs or Esophagor/Snow Faerie/etc. sort of deal, and put them in your SDB, when it comes time for you to sell, you can make quite a profit. Look at it this way, let's say you have... 100 snow items. So that leaves 900 spaces left in your SDB. If you fill your SDB with 500 np items that you got pretty much for free, when you sell out, that's 450,000 np. With REs and stuff though, you'll wind up with items like pieces of maps, a nerkmid or two, maybe a morphing/transmogrification potion, whatever, which will boost the sell out value. If you average 1000 np per item, that's 900,000 np just from your SDB. It's a very slow way of getting np, but it's definately worth it in the end.

<_< >_> Side track there.

But yeah, whatever is most important to you is what counts.

Sell the gallery. I think you should have a gallery only if you have spare money laying around that you don't need.

I would wait it out. In a recent interview with NNN, Snarkie said they were working on galleries. No word on how they would work, but I wouldn't take the time to send all your gallery items to a secondary account just yet.

Create another account that you use to make NP. Keep the gallery. Galleries are cool .

It depends. If you really love your snow gallery, I would keep everything. Even if you, for now, take the items out and put them in your sdb and use your shop to sell things, you know you'll still have the gallery items.

If you're already broke, I don't suggest opening another account for the gallery. Why? Because it costs np just for shop upgrades, which you'd have to send over from your main account to the new gallery account. I doubt right now you'd be able to afford that. So what would happen is you'd end up with alot of nice items sitting in a new account and nowhere to put them but in the sdb there. That just doesn't make sense to me.

Ultimately, it's up to you what's more important and what other ways you have of earning np - restocking, games, stuff you have in your inventory/sdb to sell.

I've made the decision to close my gallery, so I'm slowly sending everything back to my main and trying to sell it. Whether the gallery account stays open or not I haven't decided, I'm very attached to that account name and to my pets on that account. It may end up just being a kind of spare chatting account. Mine just got way too expensive to try to keep up with, both in terms of items and shop upgrades.

I say sell it. Take screenies (because let's face it - who can tell the difference between looking at a screenie of your gallery and looking at the gallery?? You might as well have the NP and the memory), and sell the lot.

Galleries are pointless, imo.

I always have this dilemma! I love hoarding np but then I like buying pretty items. I say keep the gallery and start restocking if you can? even if you are on dial up you can still restock on smaller profit items

Ehh... personally I'd keep the gallery. It makes your account look spiffy and honestly, it isn't too hard to earn the nps if you really give a shot at it in the long run. Unless you have something you really really really want and omgmusthaveitnow I'd say keep X3;

I have the same problem where I occasionally restock and have no room in my gallery to sell things. I doubt I'll be selling mine anytime soon though- another proposal would to be to sell all the pricey but sellable things in your gallery first and then try to get them back later :/

If you can't restock, try reselling to make nps. I have made almost all of my nps that way. Buy easy to sell items at below market rate and then resell them at market rate. You would be amazed at the bargains I have found while refreshing on the shop wiz. It takes a love of boredom (refreshing on the wiz can be very tedious) and a bit of a risk, but I really think it is worth it.

And, hey, if you don't like your gallery, get rid of it. But, if it is only because you are poor, I would say try to keep it. I have been down to less than 100K after buying one too many plushies and been so depressed that I was tempted to sell all of them. Luckily, I came to my senses. And, I bounced back to having more than enough nps to spare. I now have a rule that I never go below a set amount of nps--because you need nps to make nps. So, I never buy so much that I am left with very little nps. It works--maybe I don't get the plushies as often as I would like, but it keeps me sane.

If you need your gallery to sell things in, take some of your gallery items out on a temporary basis and shove them into your SDB. I have done that many times with my advent calendar gallery. I found great bargains, needed shop space, and so, instead of paying for extra room in my shop, I took things out of the gallery to make room.

And, don't move your gallery stuff to another account--you spent way too much on the shop increases for that gallery. Instead, make a new account or use a side account's shop to sell items in. You don't need a huge shop to sell stuff in--honest. I have a shop that is size 12 and yet I can battle with the big resellers--my stock turns over quickly and I am online often enough to refill my shop when needed. In fact, I think some people buy from me instead of the big guys because my shop is so little--maybe they feel sorry for me? I have had all of the big names come through my shop to buy ETS's. If only they knew how successful I really was.

I think being dirt poor amkes you appreciate your gallery even more. You worked hard and spent everything on it. What else are you gonna spend NP on? Besides training your pet, everything else is just for making (maybe) more neopoints.

take out a few gallery items and put them in the sdb, then put in a few of the sellable items. It's esier to sell stuff amongst gallery items now because buyers don't have to search through everything to get the item, it shown on top.
