" shop wizard --- using as a buyer "

Did you know the Shop Wizard does not always pull up the lowest price the first time? Many times, you can save hundreds, even thousands of dollars by hitting the refresh button a few times. Let me explain how the Shop Wizard works. All the shops are split into 8 groups based upon the first letter of the shop owners name. The Shop Wizard will randomly pull up a page that lists the lowest 39 prices of a particular group. Here are the eight groups:

a i q y 1(number one) 9
b j r z 2 0 (number zero)
c k s 3
d l t 4
e m u 5
f n v 6
g o w _ 7
h p x 8

In the first group, all shop owners will have names starting with either a i q y or 1. This system works on ALL items listed. You will be in with the same group no matter what you sell. When you're buying something, take a look at the first page pulled up. Notice the price and the grouping. Hit refresh a few times. If you find a better price, great! If not, keep refreshing and you'll get back to the first group

"shop wizard --- using it as a seller "
You don't have to be the lowest priced person. You only have to be the lowest on your page. Let's use moonlady212 as an example. Her shop will always be listed with "e m u 5" group. If she wants to maximize her profits, she'll use the wizard to price items in her shop. Let's say she has a dried bamboo bed. She will look up it on the Shop Wizard. The first page pulls as the "h p x 8" page and it has a low price of 2895. She keeps refreshing and on "her" page, the lowest price is 3500. She should price her bed at 3499. So, when people look for dried bamboo beds and the Shop Wizard randomly pulls up her page, shell be the lowest one. And, she'll make an additional 600 np then if she had priced it based on someone elses page. Also, while she's refreshing trying to find her page, she finds someone selling one for 500 np. She hurries to that shop and buys it
. She sells it in her shop for 3499 and makes another 3000 np!

  Tip: Don't put junk in your shop - it makes it look cluttered and cheap, and it's hard to find what you want. People wont return there.

  If you have a bigger shop it will show up higher on the shop wizard
buy cheap, for example, buy scratchcards from the kiosk and sell them for 200np extra
get omlettes for free every day and sell them for 20np
you wont make much but it helps
go to the shop wizard and buy really cheap items that you can sell for more
i do this and buy scratchcards
i have more to sell and people always buy them in the first 5 minutes
check your prices regularly and if an item hasn't sold in 3 days drop the price by 5np a day until it sells
this way you will still get close to what you wanted but it will sell quicker

  *A good way to make profit is to buy scratchcards at the scratchcard kiosk! You will make AT THE LEAST 200np profit! The Kiosk sells them for 600np... here's a list of profits you can make from the different scratchcards
Race2Riches: on wiz 800np ... 200np profit
TerrorTrove: on wiz 900np ... 300np profit
FaeriesFortune: on wiz 1400np... 800np profit!
and if your lucky and you'll get a
Peak O Plenty Scratchcard thats a 10400np profit!! Also these sell incredibly fast!!
Good Luck =)

Price competatively to what you find on the Shop Wizard (Most customers use the shop wizard to find items and buy the least expensive one)
As a rule of thumb try to price around five NP under the most reasonalble price on the shop wizard. This way you can clear out your shop and make way for new inventory. :)

If u have items u want for a gallery, consider using another account. frees up space in your shop and people dont have to search through it. you also wont have to keep upgrading your shop to make room.

Change your font color to something that will show up on the background. If people can see what and how much an item is, they will buy it faster.{you can find the code at the bg site

if you buy cheap battle dome stuff you can get it from one person thats lower than the rest then you sell it 25+np and you will sell it quick

  To make a big profit on items like jelly and omelettes, save them up. Once you save a up alot, you can price them low, but still make a good profit. It helps since you can get these items free and daily. You can do this with other items, like race to riches scratchcards. If u save up alot and sell them lower than the lowest price on the wiz, u'll make a huge profit!

  Play Dice-a-Roo everyday. It costs an intial investment of about 600np daily and takes some time to play but you can win food items that will add up to more than what you pay to play. It doesn't always give you a lot of food but it makes up for it with the occasional faerie or codestone which you can sell for a profit of about 6000np. I've made over 400,000np by doing this daily and then selling the items at market price. The longer you play (such as once a day for a month) the more money you'll make.
