Which part of youre in fm entrance dont you understand?

I'm getting kind of annoyed by all these merchanting guides
These guides create noob merchants which take up fm spots
Trying to sell regular ee for 50m each and a bunch of reverse
Items up for 150m.

These people don't understand buy low sell high is
just a joke. So they take up space and never sell a thing.

Also they think FM1 price + 10-50m is fm entrance price
They trade me waste my time and call me a noob for not
Buying their regular pot scroll for 75m

You understand, except I personally sell a little under
Average because I'd rather not risk MMB deflating and
Getting stuck wih 300 of them

Aren't those just the extreme cases though?

I always figured when they meant 'buy low, sell high' it meant by something insanely cheap and sell it for normal price. I've made money off of people who forgot a digit (say it's supposed to be 20 million, but they're selling for 2 million accidentally) or just priced stuff considerably lower to get rid of it. I mean, it's only 18 million but an 18 million I didn't have earlier and it's been working for me all these years.

[quote=KilIerCombo]Buy low sell high is not a joke. You buy crap from people underpriced and just sell it for a bit more because you have a better spot in the fm or you found the right person to sell to. They're just not doing it right. Anyways I only sell stuff in fm rooms with a shop, I don't waste my time with those chumps in the entrance.[/quote]

@above
I don't know prices on anything except a few scrolls
It's pretty easy to tell when something is underpriced get
A p/c after buying and sell for 10% less than the p/c or
Put it up according to price of everyone else but slightly
Lower

It's not because of the guides. If you actually read the guides, the ones that can truly be called "guides" go enough in-depth that a "noob" merchant would know the difference between a reasonably high price and something that would never sell in a million years.

If you want to blame anything, blame the people who respond to "Can someone people teach me how to make money," with vague answers like "merch," or "buy low, sell high." Sure if you already know how to merch then those words are enough for you, but if you know nothing then you're just going to take stabs in the dark, hence ridiculous prices.

Yes this has been the case for a long time but let's
Be honest. There are more of these guides than ever
There are more and more of these noobs googling how
To make messarZZ everyday and seeing buy low sell high
They're not even useful since I can't merch them because they
Have no money

Also I wrote this on a iPhone so it looks like a
Poem & it's open mic night f2

And shop title was Elixir Chair

IKR! Why do they overprice things so much when they can easily see that the shops around them are selling the same items for 10x times cheaper. XD
