Do you think I could make profit by buying outfits and selling the items that the person added? I think this might work because sometimes the person just wants gold and adds an outfit they really didnt like for a cheaper amount of gold than it is worth.

I thought about doing this but I found that there was only a small margin for profit and in most cases, the items would be hard to shift. I have seem a few good ones for around 200k or over, where you could make 50k but I personally wouldn't want to risk it. Maybe the lower value ones where 10k can be made might be ok- not too much to lose.
But I would also like to know others views on this topic. 3nodding

This is a good observation on the matter on your part thank you. I would also like to hear what other peoples opinions and thoughts are as well.

It could work if you find someone like me who sold an outfit for a million less than it was worth because when I was selling it, the outfit said it was worth x amount of gold. And I believed it until later I checked it out to see I lost a lot of gold. x_x

(Yes, I'm still mad at myself & Gaia over this.)
