What is "BNR/BNS"?

[Former_Member]

Hello,

I've seen references to "BNR/BNS" and have no clue what it is, I've tried using "help" and searching and nothing came up, thanks!

Thanks, I don't know either so maybe someone will clue us in : )

A BNR is a Buy and Replace, where you buy one of the featured items, and then one of your items replaces the one you bought. Same with the BNS which stands for Buy and Stay. There are usually rules, so read the comments before "playing".

Hope I helped!!

good info!

I still don't understand the point of them - is it just to increase your sales?

[Former_Member]

I think it is a way to get feedback / sales for new shops, perhaps... I am, just like all of you, not knowledgeable about them

[GildedXRoseXStudio]

You can get some sales, they are not a guaranteed source of sales though. Some people do quite well with them, others not so much. I suppose if you just look at it as a way of socializing and looking at shops you might not otherwise see it's pretty neat.

It seems you have to have extremely low price points for it to be successful

Yes, unfortunately that is mostly how to be successful with one of these Treasuries. However, I did sell one of my Tea Towels last week! So you never know what kind of buyers you have lurking :)
