god damn

legit vending is getting really fucking hard. you post a price midlevel, on items that sell, and 6 ppl price 20k under that shit. fuck it.

The really successful vendors normally buy low from marketplace, sell high in the forums or vice versa. The marketplace tends to have a completely different pricing economy than the forums for a lot of items.

i've noticed that as well... its actually gotten rather complicated. its really hard to vend items under 500k, because every listing for them is generally around the same price. its hard to make profit.

tell me about it. I used to be able to buy something for 100k and sell it for about 140k but recently the second i do that, i got like 5 people undercutting me. its ridiculous. i've been making my money by selling shit from the daily chance

HOARDING IS WHERE IT'S AT NOW

Gaia is becoming very annoying with its Marketplace system and everything.

Agreed. I believe it should be like runescape in a way. you post a price in which you want to sell the item and if anyone's lower than you, you have to wait until their's sells. Then you can make profit by over pricing. But Runescape is Instant in sertain cases. The way the buying works is the higher the buy-now price, the better chance you have of grabbing. The rares still take a LONG while to sell, but basically, if you say had a bucket for 30gg (example only) and you try to sell at 28 gg and someone has 30gg for it, they'll keep their 2gg. but if someone has it for 25gg lets say, you'd be undercutted. Then you'd be next in line and it's by who posts the item first. Vice versa for buying. You post the highest you get first chance. simple and effective to make money off. Then you could hoard all of one item and make BANK. wait for a few weeks and buy the target item and hoarde until you feel you can make a price change drastically. Then you hit it and BAM you got profit outta yer arse! You'd have to play in oreder to know completely what i'm talking about. you can search "grand exchange money making guide" on youtube and find some way to explain it

Well the itm im vendin is officially listed at 50k under what I bought i for. Fuck this.

I did fine with vending. but I ranged from 25-75k Profits. from like 5 sales. Than I stopped. Lol
