wrestling3fan Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Well, This isn't as much of a re-stocking question as it is a pricing question. Is there a good place/site where u can see what sutff is worth what. Like what is will usually sell for and what you should buy it for? Quote
acisdid Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Jellyneo has a great item database that lists all items in Neopia and their estimated value, it can sometimes be up or down a couple hundred from what it is being sold for in Neopia, though. Quote
safetymath Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I usually go to this site: JellyNeo.net It's nice because you can sort things by shop and from highest to lowest price, and the prices are usually pretty accurate. Quote
wrestling3fan Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 Thanks. I just started selling and restocking items, Just wanted to know what to price what. Quote
Xepha Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I believe the best way to price item is still to search for them on Neopets. Shop Wizard for buyable items, Trading Post and Auctions for the rest. That way, you are sure that : a. you won't overprice your items b. you won't underprice your items Quote
wrestling3fan Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 Cool advice. Do the rare items that are worth a lot go in shops or is there a different way to get them? Quote
Batman Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 The rare items are stocked in the shops but they are super hard to find and when they are up they are normally gone before you have any time to click on them. You need a really fast connection to get them and a lot of points with you so you can pay for the book full price sometimes more is even faster. like if its 5500 np its just faster to type 5555np.

wrestling3fan Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 I've been buying some books recently...What is an average price for a rare book. Like over 10000? Quote
Kelleysvt Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 there's also a site called neoitems.net that I like to use. They have a great database that can can be sorted using different parameters (item type, rarity, keyword, etc). I'm not sure how accurate their prices are/how often they update - but for general restocking or gallery building it's helpful. Quote
Deepti M. Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Personally, I use jellyneo. But I haven't been using it lately because I've been trying to get the Pack Rat avvie. But, when I get the avvie, that site's going to be getting a LOT of hits from me. ;) Quote
lesia9920 Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I use neoitems.net for most of my stuff like that like someone said before me you can go by rarity and stuff like that Quote
Deepti M. Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I have my doubts about neoitems.net I'm not sure where i heard it, but somebody told me that they got a virus from that site. :guiltysmiley: Quote
lesia9920 Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Ive been going there since they started and Ive never had any problems with it but thats just me my guild uses it as well and they havent said anything bad so I dont know ~~ Quote
Deepti M. Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Hmm...maybe they fixed it. I wonder if that person send in a complaint or something, and they looked it over. Can somebody scan it with their virus scanner? I'm currently using my laptop, and unfortunately, it doesn't have the scanner on it. I'm going to have to download my Norton 360 onto this one, but could somebody scan it? Quote
antiaircraft Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Like V, I'd recommend using the Shop Wizard and Trades/Auctions to price your items, since that's the only real way to make sure your prices are keeping up with the market. :yes: Quote
Deepti M. Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Well yeah, but unless you're a premium member, you never know if what you're seeing is true. Quote
Unstream Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 It's not hard really. Just refresh a couple times on the SW, and you can get a very accurate range. And if you can't find it in the SW, look in the TP. Those are the two most effective ways to find prices. Quote
Deepti M. Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I just figured this out. The shop users are placed in alphabetical order. So look for the first letter of your username, and then do 1 NP lower then the cheapest price! Quote
Unstream Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 No it's not. Here's an example of a list of usernames I got when I did a search: engelszorn randyedmonds1234 rain_bow_girl__ esther_pigpig eliiisa See, they aren't in alphabetical order. TNT organizes the SW to search communities of shops. If your shop is in a certain area, then it'll be the on that shows up in the search. At least this is what I heard before. It's best just to refresh a couple times and price your items lower than the lowest you see, unless the lowest you see is dramatically lower than all the others .For example, an item you want to sell is worth 10k, and you see one priced for 1k. In that case, it's better to buy the one worth 1k and sell both for 10k. Most people when buying refresh a couple times to find the lowest price anyway. So putting it lower than all of the people in your search community won't work. Quote

So putting it lower than all of the people in your search community won't work. Nah, I disagree with that. It will sell if you price with within your range. If it not bought by someone who actually needs the item, it will be by someone in your range who is shop wizard restocking. If it doesn't sell within a week, lower your price. Quote
Unstream Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I dunno, it's just that everyone I know usually refreshes to get a different range. You can save quite a few neopoints that way. I mean like, say you're selling a codestone. The average is 3100 or so. I would then price it at 3000 NPs, guaranteeing that it'll be sold quickly. 100 NPs really isn't that much. Quote
wrestling3fan Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 What is the difference between SW and SSW? Quote
Deepti M. Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 In supershop wizard, you can see ALL the stores at once, and you can be more specific with your keywords, and such. Quote
Unstream Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I don't see how you can be more specific with keywords, but she's right. The SSW will give you the lowest cost in all ranges. It only comes with Premium though. Quote
