Ive been stocking these for better part of a year, some outfits i made up myself, some i got from an old post on here, some from a website.
I sell them at 50k each, dont want them too cheap they sell too fast.
But problem is they still do sell too fast.
10+ outfits a day sell on average, it takes a long time restocking these all individually named outfits, Considering giving up this particular service.... or possibly raise the price a little more to slow down sales(something i dont want to do)
Does anyone else get this problem with these?

I sell grab-n-go packs with all kinds of outfits so understand your concern
small helpers before you raise your price ( which is by all means within your right to do so when you see fit)
1. Keep crates, if you are truely making so many of 1outfit style,don't hesitate to run out 100 count run of that jacket and pants , keeping a bag with 20 or so crates to pull from is common practice for alot of tailor (I have cloaks and sandles this way myself)
2.know /no this is the notepad feature ingame, go set your copy and paste keys (under keymap in options) and type your constantly used titles or descriptions in /note. Now when you are lableing or adding a description all you have to do is open note, highlight, copy, paste, paste, paste.Hrs saved there for someone like me who can't type.
3. Don't stock daily, yup make it a special day thing you set them up on Weds, and thats it folks til next weds. Can use this to rotate out what outfits you offer as well, this weeks special kind of thing.
4. Make it a on order request service. Keep displays of these outfits up with a tagboard (backpack, bone seg) notice to email you the name of outfit they wish to purchase.
5.Use the stockroom,take 1 day and get these loaded into your vendor, then pull the sell, andstockroom them. I save this for a very last resort as I don't fully support stockroom holding.

Well here's a question - are you making enough money? Do you want to downsize your business? Specializing in some way, cutting out some product lines, may slow down your need to restock. You don't want it to feel like a job!

All very sound advice Sani
I myself specialize in B-E enhanced clothing &
3&4 socketed accessories (boot, gloves, belts and hats) ---boy that takes alot of time, lemme tell you.
I used to do clothing sets to go with loots helmets and shirts.
like you Anynianu, couldn't keep up with it...I'm thinking of doing it again tho.
For '"normal" clothing I do special orders only.
