Yes very seriously. They aren't overpriced.

The normal stuff, cans alcohols and flowers and plushies kind has to be below market price.

The other stuff is for collectors. I do not sell directly to collectors but I sell to bigger traders who buy this stuff in bulk and wait till a collector comes searching for them and sell them at a higher price.

The market price, I usually clear it up to the price I sell at except leaving 5-6 lower..It is a tactic. If there are a few lower priced items, it means the rrp will remain lower and more people will add an item at 2k instead of 4k. If I sell at 7k, buying at 2k gives me way more profit then 4k.

These are all my logs since yesterday, the name of course hidden.

      These are all my logs since I started. Of course all aren't bought the same person. The first 4 logs is what I intend to highlight though. I can price some items even a bit more higher, but then they'll take months to sell. You need to know people who trade in these on a large scale or collectors.


      Edit: Highlighted it

You're literally the reason I just restarted. I want to see how long it takes me to make a dirty bomb if active from the minute you join; good luck mate!

There only about $20 billion I heard? I made a billion on my old account in 3 weeks. Damn maybe my goals are a little bit HUGE xD

lol you two put me toshame, I'm still at a loss of how to earn all that but I'm learning a lot from this thread (only played like half the time by the way)

Don't be ashamed, check my amount of days on this game and I've never, ever hit the 10 billion mark even.

I didn't play active for 6 years though, and yeah I lost a few major bets, but still, I should be well in the clear.
Mr_Red [1693261] · #32

haha you've got to update you're trading strategies when you're done as you're officially worth more than me after 3 days haha
YNMK [1877410] · #34

Well..actually, I wouldn't lie, this isn't updated. I'm nearly 200 :P

Got one coin for 40 (all I had then) and sold for 100.
One for 125 then and sold for 150
and one for 90 and sold for 120 :D
Satangel [60043] · #35

Where do you find these deals man, that's just absurd? Do you check the item market every minute or do you post in the forums/IRC or? FFS w've got a winner here boys
YNMK [1877410] · #38

Yeah item market full time. I missed 3 awesome coins with 15m profit at least just cause I was trying to talk with the ownder to get it lower.

Bought and sold another one for 95m..same price as buying price..needed cash for a deal.

now I just bought another for 125. someone wants it and is willing to pay 175 but is offline since 2 hours :(
