This is an excellent guide - someday, when you have the chance, I'd love to see even more details on how you work the exchange. Thanks for taking the time to write it up!

-reads all of it- Nice... Now I need to get better at the exchange. X.x


You're not the only person who has said that, but there really isn't that much to it. Find threads where people are selling items that are worth preferably over 100k and make offers on them that will make you a good profit. You won't get an amazing deal from every thread but if you put time in you'll find a few excellent threads per day where you'll really make out great. That's where the money is at. Send me a PM if you need more help for some reason.

Thanks for this, it's really helpful ^_______^

I'd love to know what sort of items they usually bought, from the exchange.


The items that usually sell, lol. Tends to go hand in hand! There are no magic items. If it sells around 10x+ per day, chances are you can make a profit on it, as long as you buy it at the right price. If it sells once a week, don't bother, unless you're getting an insane deal. The amount of work required to sell those items is a chore, hands down. I'm all about quick buys and quick sells.

This person has some spare time on their hands. But this is gonna be very beneficial. smile


Last week of summer, what can I say? I only put in hardcore time the first day after that it was between 4 and six cumulative hours per day, maximum. Though it was significantly less on the days I had work and on my first day of classes.

Interesting take on it, although I still believe that vending is a lot faster way to make gold considering people made 60m in a week with vending. P:


I call bs on that to be honest. Unless he was using some sort of vending bot, or has some sort of special trick to it that I just don't know about. I've spent weeks attempting to vend and have never, ever gotten a successful misprice. I'm always just a second too late. My password is set to auto-enter and everything. I don't think I'm bad at it, it's just really hard. You need reflexes faster than a hummingbird's wings to catch anything lol. I've found that with vending the only deals I ever get successfully are the same deals I would get more consistently on the exchange. About 15k-40k profit on items under 500k and about 40k-100k profit on items over 500k. To each their own.

Awesome detailed guide, the simplest I've ever read without any BS. Great work and congratulations on your success. I plan to use this method once fall semester is over in December! Thanks so much! heart


Thanks, you make me happy. If you need help with that when the time comes for whatever reason, feel free to send me a PM.

Stellar work Brilliance. I might just have to go play in the exchange again. Eh, I am kinda lazy though, but I am sitting on a pretty nice little pot of gold so I might just have to even though I do have my own reservations. Oh and to address that dude that was talking about making 60m in a week thats because the guy that was selling stupidly mispriced one of his items under 30 million so that buyer just got lucky. (literally)

It's awesome that you took the time out to type this out and we really appreciate it. Thank you.

Read through it and enjoyed it. It was simple and easy to understand and didn't include all the marketplace jargon. Thanks again!

Someone in the GCD mentioned this. It got me interested enough to join you guys. Very smart work. I'm less successful with the market. Mainly because I'm always looking for items for me crying

At anyrate, good job with this!

About 15k-40k profit on items under 500k and about 40k-100k profit on items over 500k. To each their own.

I think it was more a factor of vending almost 15 hours straight per day and sheer luck that he got so much.
I was still able to make 5.5m in a week with barely being around, but then again I've been vending for like 3 years now. I have no clue how you're able to get up to 4m in a week with mainly exchanging though, I think that's quite a feat. gonk

@Den ro kun - Actually, it was just a 1m ninja band and a 1m Cerynitian's Blessing. He got a cheap albino bat on the last day, but that was day 8 so I didn't count it since the contest in this guild was only 7 days. xD

I agree completely with being a businessman in the
exchange, rather than a beggar.

Unfortunately, everyone's searching for a deal and
the offers can prove to be quite laughable at times.
But hey, take a deep breath 'n shake it off. Patience
and perseverance shall win the race every time, so
long as you follow the helpful advice from this guild.

This investment strategy is top- notch and may we
not forget to thank the host of our contest, as well.
Congratulations to all of our contestants! You have
reminded us that there is no need for a hand- out,
so long as we're willing and able to work towards
a personal goal.



*grins mischievously, as she thinks upon what sort
of upset this thread may cause in the charity forum*
( don't worry.. although that is an enticing thought. )

Good work mate. I applaud you. *Claps* I may use this strategy since I am low on gold. I hate my spending habits xD
