Is it worth having a large variety of items for sale?

[Dickerlicker]

I am at shop level 24 and mainly sell boxes, packs, figurines & sleeves. I was wondering if having a variety of items for sale would greatly increase overall sales. It is really expensive to field a large array of items considering storage space + purchase of licenses

I'm at about the same level as you and I've found that between the constant flucuation of the market prices as well as the fact that your customers will desire the newer items available to your store as you level up, adding additional shelves and adding items is always a good thing.

I agree with you slightly on the storage space. I've worked that out by putting in warehouse shelves along the back wall of my shop and keeping them organized. Each basic shelf can hold 4 different items on the shelves and you can use 'Q' to place boxes on top as well. Right now despite selling more than 20 different items in a level 17 store, I have no boxes on the floor and can usually quickly see what I might be running low on. It makes planning out restock orders easier and I've found that my profits per day have been going up as i rarely over order any item. And this right after I added more shelf space so that I could carry more items for sale.

I agree on the cost of licenses though. I actually want to add more and different playmats as well as some of the other accessories I haven't unlocked, and the cost has prevented me from unlocking them as quickly as I'd like. (and now I'm doubly blocked due to the lack of shelf space on my sales racks as they are all filled up for the moment.)

Thanks for the advice! I'll go buy the 4 element card boxes & the dice now. Also thanks for the additional tip about the larger shelves, will buy them as soon as I can. God I love this game

Yeah licenses are crazy expensive, and bless the devs for making the storage space mechanic. I can't play the game without it. Look like I have to purchase my fourth one at this rate considering all these new items lol

I'd like to piggy back on this and go a bit more narrower with the question. Should you buy and stock like the different color dice and sleeves? I'm just wondering if it's even worth spending the money and space for the different colors. Where as I could use that money towards cards and pulling cards.

The four elemental battledecks are great thing to have since they usually sell very well with big profit margin. I have one metal rack for each battledeck.

I havnt tested it, but it seems like more variety and faster cashing directly increase sales.

Im at lvl26 with all possible stuff in shelves and getting 7k5+ revenue per day with pricing "market price, +10%, +10%, round"

[Oblivion]

it just depends what your after, if your after XP and money your better off just having 4 shelves with 1 item on all instead of having a proper shop.
stick em close to the entrance to reduce travel time highest card pack u can get is usaly just best 99% of time

If you want to min / max, You just want a couple shelves filled with the same high profit item at market price.

The customer AI is coded to

1) potentially go to their priority item which is randomly chosen from the list of items you can currently unlock

2) go to a random shelf and buy, which is a probability based on the price (market price = 90%, +10% = 75, +20% = 60%, etc). Then they buy a random number.

If you watch the price tracker app, you'll see that different colors get hold or cold in popularity. So one day everyone wants red dice and, two days later, white dice are all the rage and red dice are unpopular. Likewise for battle decks, deck boxes and other things that come in assorted options. So there's arguably value in having the full spread.
