so hello im omgitsbulletz im new to this thread so thanks for accepting me leader of this guild :] als love his avi loads xD

well my question for the help i need is basically this
i been a member now for a while say 280 days to be close
and i have generated 27 million gold on the market place via buying tons and i mean tons of gaia cash =/

and out of that " 27million" i have literally donated it all out or bought 500k + items for friends or new starters ( not noobs i hate the word) to help them get a break

so id basically like to learn how to make some profit out of buying low selling high items as in basically what sort of items should i go for to earn a profit D:

and i notice alot i see people's stores saying click pic to see deals i got
and i click it and they get a item like for example a " shadowlegend" for 235 gold from bidding =/
but when i check i cant ever find anything like that on there ...

im not greedy but i feel it is my time / turn to make myself a avi with a a few as i class nice items not expensive we all have wishes for expensive items but id prefer nicer items like a dark halo or something with i struggle to afford =/

i knwo this is a essay but im tryna explain why i need help
basically I SUCK AT SELLING lol i buy items but when timee to sell i end up losing gold on the items =/ like north star kitten for instance i spent literally the whole day 26th dec selling my whole inventory and buying cash to pay for a kitten at 5.9 million gold and now it is at a 3.5 milllion and kicking lower so any help would be greatlly loved =x

You might want to check out this thread for some basic tips.

Yes, mispriced items go through the MP from time to time. They are snapped up quickly because lots and lots of people are looking for them. If you want them, you have to be there and keep refreshing - it takes time.

Here's the question: did you sell it at that lower price? If you didn't, you haven't lost anything - you still have your double trouble bundle. Only if you sold it did you actually lose the gold. (More on imaginary profit and loss here.)

And we've all made errors in judgement when buying and selling - I've had some items I had to hold on to for more than 6 months to sell it without losing gold. That's part of learning the game.

It helps to know what each item generally is selling for. Sometimes prices jump temporarily - either through artificial inflation or just the ebb and flow of the MP - and so a price that wouldn't have looked so good yesterday may look really good right now. But if you're familiar with the item and its current pricing, you can evaluate if it is, or just a bobble that may leave you high and dry.
