not quite sure what you mean.... but I'm intrigued... :rolleyes:
sometimes when I click on the eggs, wheat or anything else then I see tools and land expansion items pop up, moreso on the ones I click at the end of the ad.Quote:

Some people place their ad on a less than desirable item on purpose so it stays in the paper longer.
Me too, because I know if I put the ad in one of my premium stuff, people will raid my stall and leave only the general ones.Quote:

When I look for hidden BEMs I look for corps, milk and breads at default price adds and eventually find some better goodies on stands.
My assumption on the newspaper has been that the order of the items is random and is not the same in your newspaper as in someone else's. Therefore, if you scroll to the last page, you are just taking up time, not getting to a less-viewed ad. My strategy when looking for premium items is just to randomly open an ad on the first page, because this will minimize the time between the posting of the ad and my visiting the store.
The less desirable the advertized item, the higher the probability that the ad has been recycled. Not all recycled ads are stale, though, as some people attend to their store and keep loading it up with new items as the old ones sell.
On the other hand, ads for premium items attract so much interest that there are swarms of shoppers at the store unless you get there first. So in the first pass through a new paper, I check the best item displayed on the first page (or if they are all boring, I pick one at random), and then on subsequent passes I look for specific items I am looking for, and if there are none of those, I look at the ads for the medium-desireability items next.
