eekabee Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Reselling, not restocking, as in where you patrol the SW and buy under priced item to sell for more in your shop. It is similar to restocking but I can't say I like it but then again I could just price the items higher. So, Thoughts? Feelings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kex Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I see no problem with it. What you do with your items is your own business so long as you're not trying to scam anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caliama Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I agree with Kex. Besides, that's the beauty of making profit, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephie23 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I think its a fare process.. if you really want to offer deals then post items here and stick them in your trading post, with the requirement they are not used for reselling :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safetymath Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 It's fair. You're giving them the price they asked. I do it more out of laziness though, so I don't have to look up the prices of so many items. :P I admit that I did buy a Purple Shoyru Plushie for 100 NP (usually like 50,000) for my gallery one time... :* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1tomread1 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I see nothing against it, it's probably a rareity if you don't have SSW but i love seeing underpriced items on the SW :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephie23 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 When I underprice I do it so my item will sell fast.. I'm lazy and I don't like to wait. :P so its up to them what they do with it! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noog Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I used to do that for my main income. It might not be exactly fun all of the time, but there is definately no problem with it. One of the old favorites was the "mystery of the kougra paw". It used to go for 300-400 neopoints before it was a newbie pack item, and a couple of people would sell them for 1 neopoint every day. There used to be also a few slushies that I would buy for 1 neopoint and sell them for over 5k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephie23 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Actually if you ever take economics (or even accounting/finance) you'll learn about the concept... how people who do that type of thing need to exist in order to keep the market prices in check. I can't think of the term off the top of my head.. its gonna bother me, when I think of it I'll post back! :P .. its a really interesting thing though.... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastpitch41 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I don't mind reselling. If you find an item for super cheap on the Wiz why shouldn't you buy it and resell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephie23 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 i remembered the concept i believe it is called arbitrage.. :P someone can google it for me and see if im right, im off to bed, workin in the morning, so i cant really be bothered checking :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastpitch41 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I googled it for you stephie and you're right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaydehdots Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I resell when I'm researching prices of anything I sell in my shop on the SSW, and I find something that's a good amount below the rest. Plus, I get to sell my item for more if there aren't cheaper items out there.. hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephie23 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 thanks! :) yep, without arbitrage the price wouldn't get to be where it should be ... :P so re-stockers are a good thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krawk Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I think its a great way to earn neopoints and that is their fault for not making a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 That's sniping. Reselling is where you buy UB items and make an agreed lower than average price with the seller before making the purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xen Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Oh, I see, but the items are usually hard to sell >.< Agreed. The art of sniping the SW is kind of hard, and unless you're using the super shop wizard, it can get frustrating. I'd stick to keyquest or something like that if you don't have good patience. I'd love to suggest sniping auctions but it's very hard to do so nowdays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephie23 Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Im terrible at sniping, only in the pound am i good, but I use my powers for good not evil! :P lol SIDETRACKED ... back on topic... ya Im WAAAAAY to impatient for SW sniping, so has anyone used the supershop wiz? is it really as awesome as it sounds? ( I know there are SOME limitations to it....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaque-plaque Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I've done it in the past. It's a decent way to make money I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denisa Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 You shouldn't bother if you don't have SSW or it will get very boring after a while ..Best nps in my oppinion come from RSing or auction sniping(which i'm horrible at ).

stephie23 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Ive changed my mind ... I hate it, b/c people take things like codestones and buy up all the cheap ones, and then inflate the prices. Its so frustrating! :( I just wanna train, and I use 3 codestones a pop. I can't afford 3 eo at 6k -_- grrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadaw the Rampage Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 i dont see the harm in buying some like i just did {a faerie petpet paint brush for 2,500np and just resold it for 500k} -.^ for one reason only. its compleately fair and the odds of getting to it first is unlikely. however i seem to have a knack for it. i think its ok as long as you dont get too carryed away and buy the intire shop wizard XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollface Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Sorry if this is off topic, but what is the difference between the Shop Wizard and Super Shop Wizard? Is there a link for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
