I have often wondered that. My shop isn't big, and it gives me nightmares
sometimes. Like right now I have 19 spaces to fill, but the good part is
that tomorrow is 1/2 price day. YAY! I keep missing most of 1/2 price day,
but I am determined to find some stuff tomorrow.

When I used to do it, I knew the selling prices for the things I generally
carried. Like at the time Green Apples sold in other people's shops for
around 50np. Because my shop was huge, I could sell them for 200 np For
argument's sake, and the fact that my cat wants me to pat her and not type,
I knew that for bananas and grapes and what not. So when shopping for G.A.
I could easily tell if they had other deals. I bought out lots of smaller
shops. Id try to do it before anything sold out too, to reduce pricing
time. It was a real PITA back before the quick stock option. It was also a
major pain dealing with people who wanted me to lower my prices. I
considered my store a "convenience" store since it was (is) in the
marketplace. You pay for the convenience of being able to find it with out
the wizard (so why green apples sold I have no idea) that and my prices were
designed to sell, but not sell out (for the pricing reason)

but that was before the great green apple shortage. I have no idea what
things go for now, so occasionally I'll shop then reprice, which takes way
longer than shopping ever could.

Since I have little interest in Neo these days (mostly just an avie and
fishing hunter) I haven't restocked in an age. Im sure my shop is full of
unpriced omelets, jellies, scratch cards, and fish... and now the mcd's
plushies ;D
