Now I have something to do on my term holiday, including playing CoD! XD

But seriously, I do love the simplicity of the explanation. It's to the point and understandable. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. smile

Thank you, everyone, for the praise and kind words. I'm hoping to write some more guides in the future. If there's anything you'd wished I had gone over more thoroughly, please say so. That way I'll have an idea of what you're all looking for.

I invested about 28 hours total throughout the 7 day period.

More than I would have liked at times, but when I think back to my younger, nerdier days...probably less than the amount of time many Gaians spend on the computer lol.

Anyway, how long I spent online is irrelevant. Getting rich quick on the exchange isn't about time spent. It's about good haggling combined with good luck.

That means he spent 4 hours a day. Not as long as I thought. Guess you could possibly do 1 hour a day for a month. smile

Thank you for writing the guide, absolutely useful! Showed that nothing is impossible. biggrin

I agree with just about everything up here.
what I really would like know is what you
consider a bulk buy. With all the different items
we have in the mp. I mean what number is consider
bulk when buying a MC,Ei,rig's and some rig items.
There are lots of people that wont give a discount
in the exchange because they don't believe or
don't consider that there hoards of stuff as bulk.
One items number wouldn't be the same as another item.
I would also like to see what you consider a reasonable
discount for these different items.

I request a discount even if I'm just buying two of the same item (because it means I have to wait for the first one to sell on the MP before I can sell the second, so my gold is temporarily in limbo.)

The more of an item you buy, the bigger the discount you should ask for. This is dependent on the price you'd pay and the minimum profit you'd expect to make on one of that item. Also, don't buy in bulk if the item is a hard sell (anything less than 10x per day for me), unless you're loaded enough and are cool with having your money stored in an item for a little bit.
