City Shop Flipping (Bits-N-Bobs and Sweet Shop)
Source: Baldr's Basic Advice (Baldr [1847600]), thread t=16034448.
What It Is
You can buy up to 100 items per day total from Torn City shops. Some of these items resell at a profit in your bazaar or item market.
Works from day one, no level requirement, no capital needed.
Best Items to Buy and Flip
Bits-N-Bobs (East Side of city)
- Beer
- Kitty Plushie (basic)
- Sheep Plushie (basic)
- Teddy Bear (basic)
The basic plushies always have demand because flower/plushie runners and set collectors need them.
Sally's Sweet Shop (East Side of city)
- Lollipops: these resell at a significant markup because players use them to manage happy levels
Earnings
~$50k $70k/day profit from 100 items. Not impressive but zero effort and no requirements.
Tips
- Shops restock semi-randomly through the day, not on a fixed timer
- Check in a few times/day to catch restocks
- Lollipops in particular have strong consistent demand
- Bits-N-Bobs also buys back certain items (Bank Cheques etc), check sell prices before listing on market
Important Note on Bank Cheques
Per forum replies (Zeddy [2489304]): Bank Cheques are often sold on the item market for less than Bits-N-Bobs will buy them back for. Always check city shop buy-back prices before listing on the market.
