Two questions....
Do you think your job has become easier or harder then when you started?
Also, do you think that Marketplace has helped you with your job or harmed it?
I think the job is about the same or maybe a bit easier. I still have to look at links, follow sales, collect prices. But I know better what I am doing and also I am more relaxed about it. I don't go changing something by 10g or even 50g anymore. For example, the dried grass skirt or the mummy mask. I could change those by itty bitty amounts each week depending on the proofs I encounter. But the bottom line is that those prices are stable and revolve right around where they are now. So I keep my eye on them but I don't stress about them.
The Marketplace has probably helped my job. See some of these items don't sell very often. I think it takes about 3 proofs to establish where a price is, or in some cases even more proofs! The Marketplace makes it easier to find out prices for those difficult items. But the Marketplace is also a trap for inflation. It would be easy to get sucked into thinking the Marketplace is right on all prices offered. But I stick to whatever sells, it has to sell before I will use it.
Dlast may have a different take on this for donation and event items.
