If you can sell cats there while the Inworld cats collect dust, I guess that's the new business model. We have enough secondary market sims already with empty shops and dusty boxes.
I have not used MP to list my 1000 boxes in inventory because I have other businesses where I need to spend my time, and where I have a good income.
And I have been through 3 summers already of trying to sell kittyboxes Inworld. It has really not been worth the trouble to pay the shop fees until October, at least up to now. I sell more cats from personal referrals during the slow season, than at shops.
Quite possibly. I didn't rent a shop in world for very long before realizing that that wasn't a sustainable business model for me. I do still rent prims for live tables, bid boards, etc., when I need to.
In as far as the MP, I only sold one box from June 3 - June 6 (inclusive), and was getting a little worried. Then I sold six today! Granted, half of them were L$99 boxes, but it pays the kibble bill. I think trying to keep the prices reasonable - whatever that is - and working to reduce my costs (cuddling while I do other things online instead of using milk, etc.) helps.
Truth be told, there ARE half a dozen boxes out on the floor at my house waiting to have their pictures taken and their info copied into Word docs. I have a routine that I go through once or twice a week, when I have the time, to add new boxes to the MP in batches. It is a lot of work, but I'd rather be working to sell them than sitting around watching them gather dust.
