19 People so far has asked me how i made my money.
Im happy to help them but typing thesame story over so many times gets annoying.



*The Beginning*
First u must consider what items you want to deal with! (within your budget)
If your budget lies below 1k then dont put in any minimum ''pick range from'' but only put up maximum!
For the real low-budget-gold-getters there are the normal shop items. As you know a shop buys an item for exactly half the price they sell it for. There are alot of people who sell those normal shop prices for less than half the shop price! BUY! and sell them at the normal shop with profit guaranteed! (u also dont ruin your shop log like this if u just sell them at normal shop, if u care)

sells for 45gold more in normal shop!
I got 2500k now(differnt tommorrow ^^) but still i only put up price range
800 - (infinitive) same as when i had 100k. That just filters out exactly all the trashy stuff. I put minimum price since i get totaly crazy when i see 20 items come by when i click go everytime, but if your young you should just leave price range blank.



*TIP* ( without nr1 dont even bother trying to get good buys)
1)The only way to win in the battle to be the one who buys the mispriced item is to:
Type your password...Select it with mouse...Press Ctrl c...Press Ctrl v... then erase it wherever u typed it. All u got to do now is find a mispriced item, click buy, click the buy squere, ctrl v and rapid press buy again! saves u ages for typing your pass and increases win chance by 85% at least!
2) Press Ctrl and use the scroll part of your mouse like this u can decrease the size of everything on the website also the market place get smaller so u can just keep clicking go without scrolling down all the time to see what youve missed...the second u save can mean the diff between 3mill profit or too late...
3) U just need speed! Play more online shooters or try to replie to your Sms's u get from your gf/bf as soon as possible! it will improve your reaction power (thing...) !
4) If u got an higher budget 15k + then do not start merchanting before knowing the lowest buy prices of some items first! (they change every 5hours or so) for an 15k budget example the Gwee , if u see one for 11k but didnt first check if the price didnt drop to 10k and u buy u lose money! or if u have to search it up first its sold! so always first get the item price knowledge. (dumb example maybe sometimes u just gotta go for it and see after if u lose gold or win)




*Items which are popular to dealers*
User ImageTickets: if the amount of the ticket is thesame as the amount of gold asked then BUY!
U must be able so sell tickets for double the amount, so always buy.
User Image< sells for 1k !
User ImageCrumpled paperbags: Same as for tickets they sell for more than double their amount!
User ImageOld Cans & User Image Big Old Tires sell for more as their amount aswell! but the crumpled paperbag sells upto 5x times their amount and tires and cans only around 3x



*Items I never deal in*
All Flowers&bugs&crumpled papers even if some1 sells 100 papers for 20 gold i never buy since they really worth nothing! ...at least no1 buys that is...
Zony Mp3/Diskmans i had one once and took me 3weeks to sell with 20k loss.
Jacked up pants/ shirt/ gloves ( took me veeery long time to sell with 110k loss.



*Items u shouldnt deal in*
Fish & Art & Tokens & Papers & Flowers, is all idk the prices and no1 buys so thats reason enough to skip those. User Image&didnt buy it.
(My oppinion)



*Items i check everyday*

Seems like a fairly good guide!

For those who are just starting off, don't be afraid to buy items that give you less than 1 or 2 k of profit. A 500 or 800g profit for an item worth 2 - 5 k is pretty good. Trust me, 500g here and there does add up. Soon you will be able to buy more expensive items.

Also, some of the items you listed like the pajamas and lunar/solars are fairly hard to sell, so they might not be the best items for a quick profit.

I lost my Golden Laurels, so I don't think I will make profit, but well, with good luck, I will maybe recover my 555k loss in 2-3 months with good luck...
