    Autobuying Shop Guide

    Shop numbers/names taken from: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=266
    Shop list has been updated by me

    This took me a several hours of research to create, I hope you find this useful :)

    Tips for using
    • Use Ctl+F to find shops with a specific category ("high stock", "ETS", etc)
    • Use JellyNeo to browse through a certain shop's stock
    • Try out each potential shop yourself to see which shop suits you

    Terminology
    Aged - 3 month+ (can see r99)
    Semi-aged - 1 month+ (can see r94)
    New - 16 days+ (can see r89)
    Newb - less than 16 days
    High profit - UBs (unbuyables)
    Good profit - 30k+
    Decent profit - 10k+
    HTS - hard to sell, expect reseller offers when selling
    MTS - medium to sell, takes a some time to sell, sell price determined by TP
    ETS - easy to sell, high demand item, sell for full price
    High stock - should be able to get at least 1 item every 1-2 restocks
    Medium stock - should be able to get at least 1 good item every few restocks
    Low stock - takes many restocks to be to get even 1 item

    NOTE: I listed a shop as containing MTS items when there is demand for them outside of galleries (book/gourmet high score list, Neohomes, etc). This means the more expensive the item, the more HTS it is.

    great guide, will really help people and should cut down on a lot of recent spam

    just one thing, if you're selling books on the neoboards, they are mts-hts (ie. no-one wants them or wants MASSIVE reductions)

    +rep (if i can) and sticky

    Thanks!
    Yeah, I put them as such because low-profit books are fairly ETS due to the number of people who are dreaming to be on the high score list.
    My MTS category is rather broad. I put a shop as MTS when there is demand for them outside of galleries (Neohomes, book/gourmet high score list, etc). I was really loose when putting a shop as MTS.

    Woohoo, 3 rep blocks! :D

    A really informative guide, thanks! +rep

    One suggestion, however, maybe you should bold some of the better shops or something .. it's kind of a long list :p but hey, iuno.

    EDIT: Ding ding ding, epiphany. Why don't you color code the shops for depending on age and/or sell-ability?

    It's a low rate. I used that shop and this guide to start up my new account.
    Thanks Zero!

    ok 3 things
    #1 great guide :)
    #2 what do the bolded shops mean
    #3 ok maybe this isnt a very big deal, but i like only ab stamp and i think that you should change it around a little. for new, stamp is pretty horrible, medium is decent, but aged can be very high. also, idk what list you are using but stamps are never ets. i would say put mts-hts instead, but those changes are just my opinion

    i think the bolded shops mean that they are good to ab in, although stamp hasn't been bolded interestingly enough

    1. :D
    2. Means the shop has gotten a rating of over 5
    3. Try a better list Billy, you can easily get 3-4 5k+ profit stamps per restock with a newb account. For med, I can usually get 2-3 10k+ profit stamps per restock. Stamps are very ETS for cheaper stamps (non-UB). Otherwise I list them as MTS because there's demand for them (I included a little note in the guide about that), unlike the UBs at Tiki Tack.

    How did you use jellyneo to find out what each shop sells?

    I have been trying to figure out how but I didn't see anything in the Item Database

    Simple, just select the item type the shop sells in the "Is in Category:" drop-down box. Leave everything else as default, or fill them in if you'd like.
