maybe....I should stick to buying and reselling popular items like....the ZOMG rings? I would have 90k right now, but NO everyone is selling their magical girl outfits and their cocoon EI cheaper than my price. XD I....need encouragement.

luckily they'll still be there for 12 more days. Bwahaha. I could always take it off the market and put it back there. I might reset the day back to 14. Muahaha >3 Then I'll have 118k after everything sells.

2.7 mill!? Well, I guess I can't really complain, then. So what should I do? Drop the price? Hm, but if I drop the price I'll lose 64k. Well, at least I learned my lesson. I'm officially sticking with ZOMG rings and items from the suspicious package.

If your item doesnt sell,try relisting it again and put an 'auction' price with it. Just tweak the starting price according to your need and make your buying price a little higher than usual

Did it with my one of my 'common' zomg item and kinda work...bid reached almost the half of the buy-it-now price that I set

just a tip 3nodding

I think the MP is making many vendors sad. So far I have lost 130k. Im going to stay away from EIs for some time now.

I wish all of you the best of luck...

the EI are officially evil for now. Lol and I finally sold that EI! FINALLY! Now to get rid of this stupid magical girl uniform. I screwed up the bidding price for the soviet bear. XD accidentally started it off at 0g! X3 epic fail
PostPosted: Sat May 02, 2009 12:03 pm


I once made a mistake with the starting bid, so I hopped into a mule, bid 10g on it and then accepted my mule's bid. xD

I don't invest in EI to be honest, or those RIG items. I just...well, I'm just not good with them, they're too unpredictable and I haven't had the time to observe them.^^ I still placed my faith on MCs. But I won't be selling them until next year. xD

Like you guys, I'm stuck with some items where, even though I bought them for what was a very good price at the time, the bottom fell out of the MP for them right after I bought in and now I'm stuck with them for awhile.

I've been here before. This is part of the risk-reward model of the MP.

No, I'm not taking losses on them. I don't play the MP with gold I need now or even soon. I buy items where, even if I expect to sell them right away, I don't NEED to. I can wait it out.

I'm simply going to wait until the prices go back up to sell them. And the prices will eventually. When? I don't know. If I did I'd be in a lot more lucrative line of business.

If you need to turn an immediate profit, the only way I know to do that for sure is to buy store items that are priced under the sell back price and sell them back to the stores immediately. Of course, you'll be competing with everyone and their brother, but nothing's free.

But then I think of my Enchanted Books which I couldn't sell at 55K for love nor Gaia gold. I kind of forgot about them and got on with it, and now they're worth FAR more than I would have gladly taken back then. (No, they're not for sale.)
