yeah, so i just made 20,000g in 20 minutes

Lately, i've been quite interested in the economy of guild wars, i buy things when i see a good deal, sell them later. About a month ago, i was into fur, i had a lot and sold a few.

Today, when i logged in, i noticed te fur trader buying back for 5,119 for 10. I had 30 in storage, and i bought char hides from random people and sold the product.



20,000 isn't much to the farmers, but to those of use who play casually, thats a lot!


i <3 guild wars economy!

Nice, thanks for lowering the trader price, i can go buy a few now

last time i tried a move like that i was about a minute too late and resale value was way down. i only lost a few plat though.

tnks for exposing it dude lol but im through trading now

good show!

you make a buck and keep the economy healthy. nothing wrong here, thumbs up!

Umm, 10 steel was about 7k selling price to material trader last night. So i bought like 120 steel for 250gp ea, and sell them to the vendor

I was just wondering if there are certain people driving these prices up and down? Probably large capital guild members??

So what exactly is the point of spending time "playing the stock market" and earning 20,000 extra gold? Gold in WoW and other mmorpgs actually means something. Gold here is practically useless. The best items are available via 4 collector's items that can be bought for 100g each, the best armor costs less than 10k, there really is no point to being rich.

I'd understand if you were doing pve and gaining loot/gold while gaining experience, but to just sit in LA and monitor trader prices seems like a waste of time to me.

whoa

you must have read a different post

because i don't see where he mentioned that he sat in la and monitored trade prices

maybe it's your glasses

can i borrow them?

With the constant fluctuation in prices, one assumes you need to keep tabs on the traders to know what good deals are and what kind of trends tend to take place.

Personally I don't buy it at all.

keeping tabs != sitting and monitoring

i always check material prices whenever i happen to be in a capital

but that's hardly sitting and monitoring

I had a Rune of Superior Vigor on my boots which I bought a while ago, i noticed the runes were very expensive at the Trader, so i decided to sell mine, i got 64k for it. which made me fair happy
