How exactly do you make about 300K profit each day, without resorting to sniping and such?

work fast. work efficiently. use both the marketplace and the exchange. and use valuing systems.

so set the items as buy now, for 5 minutes only, and lower the price a bit. try for a quick sell.

That's not really an answer. Just tell us what you do on average when you log in. For example, how do you manage to buy items for a lower price than selling them, while you sell them under the market value.

Sorry for being ignorant, but what does that mean?

When you find an item on the marketplace really cheap and you buy it.
(e.g: Buying Laurels for 50g when they are 13,000g)


"...Okay, you suck at math."

How big are the chances you get to see that more than 3 times a day. It can happen, yes, but not often.

that's where the exchange comes in. sell off everything you can in the marketplace, doesn't matter if it's a bit low. buy the most expensive donation item that you can get a semi good deal on. doesn't really matter if you over pay a little. then make a thread and sell the item that you bought. value items that are offered for your item UNDER what you would sell low in the market. for example

there's a donation item being sold, it's price in marketplace is say 22k. you might ACTUALLY be able to sell it for 21k in the market, so go ahead and offer aroud that. then, if you get the item, turn around and sell it again in the exchange. say they offer an item that's 20k in vend and 1k pure gold. you think that you can sell the item they offered in vend for maybe 19k, so value lower than that and value the item at 17-18k.

in this case their offer would value at 18-19k. that's when you ask them to add. 3k would be the best. if you can get them to offer another item value it the same way. and if the total comes to about the vend price of YOUR item. then you're garuntees than you can sell their items in vend and come out a few thousand gold ahead.


the bigger and more items you have to work with the more you can do this. that's how I make so much every day.

Ok, not to sound stupid, but i'm not sure i understand. what is a vend? I've never done exchanges. I don't know what half these terms mean...

start from the step of selling it in the exchange. ask more more items and less pure gold. and value the items like I said in the previous post



darth: vend is the same as the marketplace. just a much easier way to say it.
