I don't usually buy to resell, but if I only find something in a quantity of 10 and I buy it for one or two, I'll resell the rest. I used to sell some things in quantities of 10 (feed, popcorn) but am cutting back on that for the same reasons as the others - sometimes people only need a few, not to mention there's nothing worse than getting that dreaded "full barn" message when hitting a stall with 10 items in it.
I'm helping DD with her barn but am selling lems and sems now. Oh, and I sell all manner of items, both premium and non-premium. Non-premium items are scorned by many, but has anyone ever had a cornbread boat and not been able to find any in their friends' stalls? I normally shop at my neighbors' stores first and then to the DD, but nowadays I hit the DD first for the lowly muffins and bacon and eggs because it's getting harder and harder to find them at neighbors' farms though I can usually find a few if I go to the lower levels for those types of items because, depending on the level, those are the only things they can yet sell. I have a big respect for cornbread, muffins, and all the lower level items because not being able to find them when I have a boat MAKES me respect them. Therefore, I mix them in with my fancy pants premium items. And they always sell. :)
Hail to the lowly cornbread!
