Thank you Graham for clearing that up. What markup will attract most npcs to an Npc store?
Your markup prices don't have an affect on the number of customers that arrive... that's determined by your curb appeal, which is a combination of the number of items you have for sale, the overall value of your store, if you have any retail signs or neon signs to attract customers, or if you've purchased advertising.
What markup prices do is determine how difficult it is to get customers to actually buy something. At 5% markup, customers will arrive with high purchase intent and you may not even need to interact with them for them to decide to buy. At 100% markup, customers purchase intent bar is nearly empty when they arrive, and you'll need to spend time giving them personal salesman attention to convince them that they should purchase. Is it worth your time giving individualized attention to each customer to get them to pay more, or would you rather have rapid customer turnaround times in your store? That's part of the fun :)
