Limit of 100 items/daily - Flip stackable items by buying from NPC or players & selling to players in item market or back to NPC.
- beers
- Blank CDs
- Bricks
- Lollipops
- Face masks
- Bits & Bob flushies
- Gasolines
- ...
Any stackable trash in critical mass (I buy them at less than or about $200) can be resold for at least $999 due to the trash 5K items merit.
Weapons/armor/temps
- Lower than NPC price
DETAILS
I have contributed this my old faction forum. Just to share what I do best with the faction.
Since most of the the people are pretty experienced here, I will not cover the basics of buying weapons and armor from low to high price to trade with NPC shops to snowball the money earned. But, if you want, I can share more details.
There are certain items in the market that are highly traded. They will appear for a few seconds to split second, so fastest fingers first
Weapons, temp & armor
Scan quickly over each category as some missions require a player to sell and get rid the weapon to complete a mission for $1 or $2. Also, sometimes a player accidently listed it with the wrong price.
Then, scan from low to high for buy/sell price difference. Memorize each item sell price to "steal buy" the gear.
Sell to NPC. Be careful, sometimes after buying a good bulk or single purchase, quickly save the rest of your money in PI vault. Wait for a while as some deals may be too good to be true indicating a buy/mug trap. Usually, I will withdraw only 300K to do this. Once I spotted a very big/bulky good deal, I will then go to vault to withdraw, buy, save the rest into vault and watch a bit. Then sell and save the rest. My best being able to flip about 1 M/hr. But, very much dependent on the seller's market.

- $1 or $2 items (completed missions player sold weapons). They will be usually be the first item to appear in that category, since they are sorted in ascending order.
