So I currently have 1.3mil, and I want to do something to increase my gold with what I have now D:
I played the exchange forum a few weeks ago when I had 1.5mil and made a 350k investment, I tried this again yesterday, and sadly I lost almost 500k. So not so wise on my part I bought a few hard to sells that i can't get rid of even when I lower the price (like the overdecorated cell phone i bought, i got it for 100k and ive offered to get rid of it for 80k -____- it didn't work)
Does anyone have any advice or tips?
Also I can't seem to play games much atm my computer laggs and freezes crying
Its making it rather difficult to save up for a Crimson Marionette

Hmm that was a pretty bad decision letting go of the cell phone for 80k. I'd say to have a little bit more patience. You I'm sure you could of sold it for at least 110k if you only waited a day or two. Don't be too impatient with selling unless you desperately need the money. Of course, this is coming from a slow long term investor like myself. xD

I'll tell you what I usually do when I'm vending & exchanging.

~Browse the exchange forum to find a good deal on an item or create a thread in the wanted forum.

~ Buy several items instead of one expensive item.

~ Make a decent offer on items.

~ Check the marketplace & the graph before offering or buying anything.

~ Don't forget about the 2% marketplace tax when buying & re-selling.

~ Any profit is good, even if it is 5k.

~ Don't expect to get 1ook profit off of every item.

~ When browsing the exchange forum, have one tab/window open for than & another to the marketplace so you can copy & paste the item being sold for a quicker search. The faster you make an offer to someone, the better chance to get to possibly buy.

~ Good luck!
