How best to sell odd consumables?

I'm chasing Incorrigible Ale-Hound right now (like a lot of other people I imagine!), and scraping together all the money required is of course a big challenge.

All the other consumables I'm accumulating from gifts etc. are mounting up, and I'd love to turn them into beer money... but I've no idea how.

How does anyone shift merchandise like rock candies that are sold in 10s rather than stacks, are crates/disco balls and the like in demand and is there any money to be made from common summoning stones?

I just don't see these item names pop up in the trade window, and I'm not sure if there's any market or people just find moving them too much of a hassle.

They usually appear in the trade section as "spammable-" or "non-spammable- xyz sweet points". Occasionally you'll see reference to cupcakes but mostly it's traded in terms of the points rather than the item itself.

Thanks for the tip; moved 7 flavors of party points in a single sale, within minutes - I feel a bit silly for stashing them for so long now.

Even saw someone buying all varieties of rock candy for generous prices, and made more than 100k beer money.

Apparently I underestimated the busyness of GW1 by some margin!

You should simply check how many points they will give to the title and sell them like : WTS x sweet points
You can also put them in 2 categories: spamable and non-spamable. spamable ones are worth more then non-spamable

Also note that you can only put 7 (?) things up in the trade window. So if you have 8 diffrent kinds of party points, you cant put them all in the trade window at once. Then you get problems with trusting the other person to give you the rest etc.etc. just avoid it

Rock candies, cupcakes, golden eggs and candy corn are worth alot more then other sweeth tooth points. They are used in speed clears and therefor highly sought after. Cupcakes are around 800g each for example. and Red rocks around 2k each. Check the prices of those before you sell them.

If you have not already sold all of them put a post up in the selling forum with an exact list of what you have available.

If you have just a few of something from gifts, good places to haunt are the staging outposts for Nick in a given week. I often see people wanting to buy/sell the stuff that comes out of their gifts - rock candy in particular.

Couldn't tell you if you'd only get bargain hunters, though.

When I finished my sweet title I just traded all the sweet points I got after that for alcohol points. 1:1 Rather than buying alcohol with cash. But thats just me.
