I don't get the process of buying and reselling on MTS. How exactly is it profitable since Nexon puts a flat free of 500nx + 7% Tax? For example, Someone is selling a scroll for 1570 (listing price: 1000nx), which is cheap compared to the all the other scrolls, so you decide to buy and resell. Are you suppose to sell it at a higher price listing price than 1570? But then that'll make the MTS price 2180 nx, and no one will want to but for that much o.o Sooo yea, I don't get it =

It's a good thing you don't get it. I don't want any more competition.

Reselling on MTS usually is more buying things that are really off price. EX: 3k for a 3 att PAC.

You don't merchant scrolls in MTS. Merchant things worth more, like ATT wg and chaos scrolls (though I believe they've deflated a lot). EDIT: Just read chaos scrolls have been removed.

The last thin I could think of was when someone bought 14 dex hammered earrings for 14k. And tot he TS, try looking for more expensive items (over 5k) and make sure you at least make 1k profit after tax (I think it's 5% of the items price+500nx).

You basiclly Be in the MTS and press "All" and "Equip" back and forth until you see something extreamly cheap and buy it before someone does. By competition they mean it will be harder to buy something cheaper :P

I guess I'll help.. 2 days ago? I bought a 68 attack 9 LUK, Unhammered Korean Fan for 2,747 NX. I sold it about 30 minutes ago (took 2 days) for 8,005 NX before taxes. (9,065 after) I made 5,258 NX profit. You need to know the prices of items, you need to know item stats, you need to know which items actually sell, you need to be patient, you need to be fast. Quick decision making and mouse movements. Spend hours in the MTS watching every single item that shows up, and know what its worth. If its way below its value, you buy it. There is competition. You will often times miss that special deal. It also helps if you know the supply / demand of the item. How much of them are in the MTS, and for what price. You want to reprice it so that it actually sells. My Korean Fan, for instance. There was a 69 attack korean fan for 8k, but all the other korean fans were 66 attack for over 10k. I put mine in for 9k (after taxes) because I knew that as soon as that 69 attack korean fan sold, mine would be next.

if you're low on cash, just buy cheap GFA60 in FM entrance and sell em in bundles to save on tax in MTS. instant profit. step two: sell nx at the current ratio. buyers always pay first. setup shop permit of etc's = 999,999 x the amount of nx sold. recycle, reuse, and reduce spending of nx until you've gained a good amount. when you've got a good amount of mesoes, you can buy 6-11 atk wgs for example and do the same thing for bigger margins of profit. EASY. doesn't take that much effort. knowing how to do it isn't the hard thing, but not everyone does it. otherwise everyone in MS would be rich.
