I also haven't been getting as good stuff as when I started. But I guess it's just I'm using more mainstream times now.

It just fluctuates. There's a lot of factors to consider while you're ABing. It all matters-from the store that you AB in to the time of day you're running Abrosia. Just play around with it until you find a margin that you're happy with.

[Dreww]

Whether our sudden lack of profits are market-induced or not, this difference has been quite noticeable. My mall sales are partially driven by my cheap ab'd items. So, with faerie quests gone and my shopwiz-priced items at an all-time low, it hurt me even more.

[Islane]

For the selling I noticed that. I'm selling less and less. My prices are under the shop wiz etc... I was wondering what I was doing wrong, but now I think it's because the faeries are gone for a while .

[Neoquest]

The faeries are a really big deal, but when it gets revamped and comes back I think that it'll be worth it.

[CuriousOyster]

Ive noticed ive been getting a lot less items too.
But i think it has something to do with either my connection or the neopets servers.

If it were the neopets servers it would be almost the same because then everyone would need more time for getting the items, not only you, and if it affected at all, I think ABers would have a better chance.
I've seen that when neopets gets laggy legit rsing it's a headache, and Abrosia doesn't gets less items at all.

I don't run Abrosia often but I am noticing a decrease in items bought as well, though I've been getting lucky so overall I am making more NP

They really do, and the noticeboard is the prime example of how badly malls are doing. I'd stop my rigorous advertising and gimmick deals if it wasn't for my slight profit keeping me afloat. I'm about 5 weeks away from paying off my shop size increases, so faeries cannot return soon enough.

I'm still doing well, but yeah... I really cannot wait for the faeries' return. At that point, my profits should skyrocket again.

Mind divulging what slot you're in? I'm books because they sell themselves.

Hahaha. Take that, price gouging mallfags.

I'm totally kidding you guys

>_>

Don't worry, we deserve it. We markup items by upwards of 2,000 NP then exploit the working class (game-players) by overcharging them.

Im going to have to agree on the people saying it all depends on too many factors to count lol

Overall I think we should all be happy with effortless profits

One factor that plays a huge role is your proxy connection though, even if it does say the rate is .02 secs.

I once ABed a ZDAP then got RSed banned when I bought a 6K worth chocolate treat. Best day ever.

Anyway, lately I've been getting 30+ items daily but a very small profit. I probably should pick a new shop.

I'll give you enough details that you should know what I'm talking about:

I'm in a market that took a hit when the faeries stopped giving quests, but since almost every player wants what I'm selling, I'm still making a nice profit.

I don't mall in the traditional sense, but I LOOK kind of like a mall because I only buy in one popular shop.

I got it

But yeah, malling and off-malling is entertaining to me. I have a relaxation is stocking my shop and filling out my profit margins.

[Neoquest]

I just sell everything in a general shop. Malls are too hard to keep organized and whatnot.

Sounds like you're in pharm?

Damn straight Skippy.

I'm ABing in stamps now since they're for my gallery.

Programs like Neomallers Portal and plain old excel streamline the process greatly. My only job is to copy a sales history/shop front and replenish low stock.

Pharms been crap for ages lol.

Unless you have like 1400ms buytimes so you can get some sweet goggles.

i think I may eventually pursue this route. Once I reach a certain profit margin, I can shift my focus to malling, and use ABing simply as a supplement to my shop's stock.

I already know about what all the UB's in my shop would go for as well, so if I stumble across some good deals while I'm browsing I could pick them out
