Often, is most profitable than the real shops.

This week, for instance, I bought some Orange Gummy quiggles for 900 NP at the chocolate shop; Then I went to see for what they were selling it, found one selling for only 500 NP. sold both for 1150 NP each. Not a profit to write home about, but an example of how well it can work.

that said, some of my regular customers are shop resellers which i much prefer to unbuyable resellers. sometimes, a few of those petpet mall owners even spend over 100k in my shop and resell those petpets for 800 nps more per item. :D you got to love the resellers sometimes, they make my job as a restocker easy.


Mystique, I am one of those players with that knack. I drive my daughter and husband crazy with the deals I find. I think it is because basically I do nothing else but resell--I play games from time to time and do quests, but at least 90% of my time is devoted to reselling--so I am on the shop wiz all of the time.

I often buy from restockers--some restockers either need or want a quick turnaround on the stuff they just bought and so price it a lot less than the market rate. You have to have patience if you are a reseller and be willing to let the item sit in your shop at the market rate until it sells. And, continually monitor the market to make sure your item is pretty near the top of your line.

Some people find it boring as heck, I am sure. But, as I said before, I am a bag lady. I love finding bargains--it's almost as if going to a flea market in real life. And much more fun than restocking, which I am horrible at and which I find extremely tedious and boring. And, I might add, reselling is extremely profitable if you are good at it.

Yeah, You can always try to find good prizes on the shop wiz it happened to me a lot, but I never putted my hand on it, as someone buy it before me, or I had more than 50 items in my Inventory... *sigh*
It can be really long, so don't deseperate, but do not Over-refresh the Shop-Wiz, as I heard you can be banned.

I love browsing the shop wizard when I am restock banned.

I've found multiple paint brushes for buyable, along with some other good deals.

There's a few of my Shop Wizard Finds. And I think that searching for 'paint brush' is a lot more profitable than searching for a codestone or faerie. Even though you don't find them as often, the payout is a whole lot greater.
