After making up my choice of what to do with my 1Mil I have decided to use it and add it to my pool of money which I would power trade from.

So 6 hours later spamming in kamadan AD1 something like this...

WTS Meelee Fellblade Q9 55k ||| WTB Armbrace 100k +10 e/ Torment Shield 100k + 5e ||| WTB Ectos 3.7k

Nothing. Did sell a Torment shield for 100k + 25e though which was nice, but still doesnt suffice my 6 wasted hours in kamadan. Is power trading not very efficient or am I just extremely bad at it and / or extremely unlucky.

People have been telling me how great power trading is, I've been trying to buy high-end items for cheap prices but nobody wants to hand their item over, i try to sell high-end items for high prices but nobody seems to want to buy.

Questions:
1. Who am i actually trying to trade to? (other power traders, desparate traders, farmers that want to make some quick $$$)
2. Is it better then farming?
3. How often would I expect to sell / buy high-end items for cheap cash?
4. Should i spam in trade chat, use party search or both? or is guru better.
5. Is power trading worth it?
6. Am I doing anything wrong?

you should give it to me if you are too stupid to think for yourself.

Option 5. Spend a chunk of it on capping elite skills.

Fun, useful and gets you 4 titles.

I think the first thing you're probably best off doing, is sell those consets/gems. Because selling all of them at an optimal price might not be as easy as you think.

As for your 4 options. If you want more than that million you have. Powertrade.
If you're not all that interested in having more and just want your obsi armor, go get it.

I wouldn't bother with 1. and 3. tbh.

Use it. Do not keep it for the hackers to get interest in your account. Get the money sink titles like party animal, sweet tooth, drunkard or Zaishen. Equip all the heroes on all your characters. Unlock all skills on all chars (but you need skill points as well). Buy a tonic for 500k or smth. possibilities are plenty.

/agreed with Pleikki.

Buy 200 Z.Keys and get r3. But open when they upgrade with the September's Tonic...so you have chance to win some cash.

Zaishen Title =

-Gold items. (Wisdom title)
-Alcohol. (Drunkhard title)
-Tomes. (Skill Hunter title)
-Sweets. (Sweet Tooth title)
-Lockpicks. (Tesaure Hunter title)

You can be lucky and get even a High-End item... that perhaps worth more than 1000k (i.e: Eternal Blade r9 or Eternal Blade r10)

Good luck if you take that option ^^

Baku The Killer. (I'm r6 Zaishen...never get any good,but well...perhaps you have more luck xD)

Don't listen to Pleikki he smells!
Power trade it so you can have moar moneh. *Say 2/3mil* THEN go for whatever Z-Rank you can.

But it won't be easy to sell all that stuff you have at max price by the way.
