Hello, I'm merchanting for around 3years in maplestory now, unfortunately I can't post any SSes about my wonderful deals, my comp crashed 4weeks ago and I had to reformat... lolol But one hint to the TS, you buy for too high and sell for less profit, look at the robo chair, that was a really great risk u took there, and you're luckily u sold it, everyone knows gacha hoars are mass gaching to get many of those, and sell them later, so the price is going down, and its quite weird how u buy something for 150m and make 15-20m profit on it, try to make more profit on items that cost 100m+, imagine u spend like 1b to get 200m profit, and then u see like lets say a 60att u/h skanda for 1b, you're going to cry trust me :D, just try to make more profit each deal. (not meaning u search deals that u buy an item for 10m and resell 200m or so, but just try to make more, always try to sell the item you bought for 1/2 more, I.E you bought something for 100m, resell for 150m.

[/quote] I know, sometimes i get gridlocked with no money so i am forced to sell things low. I usually sell things in less than a day, so that isn't a problem for me. The time difference between the robot chair was about 30minutes, and i knew i could make a quick profit out of that.

@ shimmmmmmmmy above. I checked your robot screenshots. u paid 150m for it and sold it for 175m. with a good 5m profit u only make 20m on 150m. thats too less. i usually make 60-100m profit if i spend 150m. try to get a lower price for the items. and also selling cheap is not too good also. better wait a week and sell expensive then wait 15 min and sell it cheap. This is just how i guess :P just a tip!

your rate of return for most of the items are very low. Also, prices for some of those are dropping + some are hard to sell [risky] I wouldn't have bought most of them.

[quote] ManEffYou : EJ, this is a good thread, speaks a lot with just pictures when a lot of merchant "guides" fail with 1000 words. Thanks for sharing. @osjin, how did you sell a Maple Red Dana 06 in MTS if a) it's untradeable and b) sok'd items can't be MTSed? [/quote] Notice the bought and sold date por favor. ^^
