I have had my shop opened for 1 1/2 hours and nobody bought anything but the really cheap things like 30% shield str for 100k. Why is that? I hate merchanting so far... BIG EDIT: I am selling: Scroll for Gloves for ATT 10% 3mil Helmet Dex 30% 5mil Bottom jump 30% 1mil Cape Luk 4.5mil 60% 2 gloves att scrolls 60% 8mil Cape INT 70% 4mil SCROLL GLOVES att 70% 9mil 1-h sword accuracy 70% 1mil 3 summoning rocks set of 100 6k each All in ch 1 fm 19 not door spot, and I have seen at least 20 people go in. One thing I hate about having a shop open is in the chat box, when random people start talking in your shop to each other for like 10 minutes. How long do I need my shop to be open, to sell almost all of my stuff? And no, I wasn't expecting everything to be sold in 1 1/2 hours.

Because you have no patience. True merchants NEVER close their stores (hired merchants)... 1 and 1/2 hours is ridiculous.

Because it takes time? If you can't stand not having your items sold after 1.5hours, then you are one of the most impatient people I have ever met.

You also won't sell stuff as fast in Scania as some other servers sense there's so many people. And you never said what you were selling, prices or what fm your in/

Put it up and go do something else, like homework or play another game. Pretty soon you'll forget about it and when you come back to the game later you'll see you had some sales

I can imagine you actually sitting by the screen watching every person coming in and out if the possibly would buy something.

1 1/2 is way too short. Try leaving it overnight.

Sell overnight... and make sure your prices are decent.

This is why its a good idea to open your store overnight like most people

personally, i recommend leaving your shop open only at night, because if i dont, i always check every few minutes if someone bought something -.-
