yep yep, at some times you have to risk things, at times i have only made 10k of items which i spammed to sell for 2 hours or more

other times i have made 117k in a very short timespan, sometimes i feel guilty. but i guess thts a trade off.

After release of Factions alot of prophecies green's prices dropped down, the advantage of having 2 chapters is that you can farm or buy SF/Tombs greens in Tyria and sell it in cantha. the idea is buy green cheap out of reach of factions players and sell it to them. (i.e. victo's blade you can get it 2.5-5 K in tyria and you can sell it in cantha for 10-20 K).

P.S. you owe me 10 ectos coz tips like this damaging my profit.

need to know the ins and out of every item need to know the min/max it will sell for need to know is the item in demand/will it sell fast will it be a slow burner

nxt u need an intial outlay of couple hundred k then you play the waiting game..watching out for ppl selling well below average price/NEVER bother buying something if the profit margin will be low ie. bought 100k sold 150k <<pointless u will never make money that way

have a set price in mind and stick to that price when buying/when selling always consider a decent offer even if its below your asking price

never buy if unsure/never trust just 1 persons opinion if looking for a PC

always have a few ppl on your buddylist that are knowledgable with prices ect

few basic tips for you

PS. guru prices do not reflect in-game prices

enjoy

go to granite citadel and spam that you want to buy unwanted green swords shield and axes for 1.5k

I did this for 1 1/2 hours and was sold a victos axe (20/20) for 5k, and Malinon's Shield for 1.5k . Then i sold the victos for 40k and the shield for 20k

60k - 6.5k = 53.5k PROFIT

I bought a sword from Ventari's Sell with +30hp on it for 10k.

Salvaged it, went to Kaineng: "WTS: Sword Pommel +30hp 55k"

Easy 45k in my pocket.

Bought 6500(26 stacks) orbs for ~3500g a stack.
Sold later for ~8000g a stack.
8000g-3500g=4500g*26=117k profit!

Know the prices of things as if you dont or unsure you will lose gold.

Buy popular items which are quick / easy to sell. No point buying an item which is very specialist or has an unpopular skin.

Dont buy stuff for low profit margins i.e. 10k profit. I like to buy items for say 10k and resell for 100k. The 100k I get is usually a quick sale price.

I really dont like to try and squeeze every last gold coin out of an item. If I can sell it for xx k less and get a quick sale ill do it.

Spend alot of time viewing ventaris sale to get an idea of prices

Dont wear 15k / fow armor as people say stuff like, "you are rich you can pay more"

Maybe if you cannot learn all the prices to begin with try specialising in say melee weapons.

Have a couple of hundred k available to begin with is nice so you can buy most stuff. I started with 15k and that small amount has turned into many many hundreds of ecto. If you cannot get several hundred k together I am sure 100k ish would be fine. Farming 100k is relatively easy these days.

When people say offer lowball them.

There is nothing wrong with power trading. It happens in real life too and is totally legal.

I don't typically resell items, but mostly do effective farming. Buying and reselling is a risk if you don't know all the prices, but heres a tip, don't try and resell greens because they often drop rapidly unless you know 100% what the current price tag of that green is.

My biggest profit started off when the update months ago(the one that stablized all trader prices) made major absorptions and major vigors at a still 150-250g per rune. So I took a quick thought and bought dozens of the runes that filled up most of my slots and later sold each of them for 4k each =D ( now thats a huge profit heh)
