Search all the stores in free market for anything you can afford yet sell for a profit. Common items to merchant are scrolls, stars, and scrolled equips. :P

Look around in fm for items being sold for cheaper than they could be sold for. Buy them, and sell them for more.

Do some nexon surveys, to earn a merchant shop. That what i did. Try buy some steely's, and some Gfa's.

GO to leppys during 2x events you'll make a mil per hour and with the drops you have you'll be able to merch for more mesos like steelys and scrolls and such and do the gfa 60% scroll quest by john barricade xD EDIT: patience is the main key to merching you gotta have alot of it

HEre's how to start, merch something small, like ilbis. buy them for a low price like 8m and sell for 10m or 11m, and slowly make your way up to chaos scrolls. (these are relatively hard to sell but much worth it) Buy them for 40-50m and sell for 50-60m. which amkes a 10-20m profit (if you're convincing). then i would suggest high attack wgs, start with reg. then move your way up to bwgs. after that move to robes (a 17 int robe can sell for 180m which you should buy for 150m) making 30m per sell! and when you're good enough, make your own wgs by buying scrolls at a low price. if you are in desperate need for money, i would go fight some dark cloud foxes and get about 500 tails, go to showa town and do the exchange quest. if you're lucky you'll get a bwg which is worth 70m. If you're feeling really lucky, do free surveys for nx on the official site by getting an online form filler and get info from a fake name generator (just search "fake name generator on google and press the first page).

You need a shop. With a shop you can price thing ridiculously high and they still sell most of the time within 24hrs. For example: I sold some claw 60% for 4mill even though most basil auctions in windia have them with 2mill auto win.

Like what ShZoMS said: Do surveys to get NX to buy a shop. I suggest you buy some Overall Dex for 6m-6.5m each, and sale for 9m in a shop. or By a couple of 6atk wgs for 6m and sell for 9m. Or try to go to a smega that says : S> fresh gach, most of the time the seller doesn't know prices of scrolls and sell them for very cheap. I suggest you should learn prices on scrolls.

[quote] Gracefulkill : patience is the main key to merching you gotta have alot of it [/quote] Agreed, I was trying to sell a reverse mask for 18m which I bought for 14m. It took me about a week and a half to sell it, but it was worth it. Just don't buy anything that costs your whole 30m because you might not be able to sell it for awhile and you won't have any money to buy pots and whatnot.

There is no certain items. Buy everything that is too cheap.

[quote] mizore742 : overall dex 10% [/quote] i dont think you should do this becuase it only gives around 100-200k profit unless you find morons.
