I'm a fiend at the BlackJack and Tiles at the moment. Tickets are pouring from those games to me like a broken dam.

Now, I'm pretty broke at the moment, so I'm looking for a item from the P&J shop that would pay off if I sold it.

I'm thinking..... That Sand Castle is averaging at 660k or so, but is selling at 900k.

Good thing to shoot for?

Also, those bicycles that are ridiculously high ticket priced in the Prize and Joy. Are those something to look to, or something to brush off?

They may be shop items, but they're notoriously hard to get without dishing out the gold. I intend to get them without paying gold, using only tickets.

Dernier items are technically shop items too, but those are extremely expensive and quite a few are good investments.

    ugh. ace and mii, you COMPLETELY missed the point of this thread.

    So, you're obviously looking for the most bang for your buck. What you need to do is check how much you're going to get PER TICKET.

    Tickets are selling for 7-8g each, average. If you're going to swap out that profit for something, you'd better be getting AT LEAST as much or you'd be making a pretty stupid move.

    Sand Castle is netting you about 8.5g per ticket. It's a decent buy. However, you haven't notice something absolutely critical:

    Mystery Liquid Accident is a fairly new item, but it's selling steadily for around 240k, which is 9.6g per ticket. That's 13% better than the Sand Castle AND it's around 200 times easier to sell.

    Those Bicycles... just think about it. How many people would buy one for (450,000*7=) 3.15m? I think it'd be a lot easier to sell that in tickets than as a bicycle, don't you?

I see. Alright, thank you. I'll have to try the Myster Liquid Accident then. Maybe I can get enough tickets to get it before Halloween, because it seems like an Item that would sell well around Halloween time.

If was to get it, but after Halloween, what other times of the year would it be a good time to sell?

    Don't invest in items without limited supply. Just buy and sell like you're vending, but keep in mind that you want more than 7.5g per ticket.
