How to merch. Help please.

I am a Level 14x NL. I realized that my damage is very low for my level. So I decided to sell all my equips and merch with it. I calculated the approximate value of all my tradeable equips (The ones that do NOT require SoK) and it equaled to a little under 2bill.

So, lets say I have 2bill to merch with. What are some items I should keep an eye on to merch with? I will be merching for a month or two. (as in no training and just spending the time I am on maple to just merch). I stopped training with a range of 10.7k. My goal is to reach 20k by the end of this merchanting.

So please, for the experienced merchers out there, please help a guy like me out O:

@ballinskater:
If I were you I'd keep them
As far as I've seen the past few weeks in the Beran FM, the price of furies is rising, so I'd keep em.

If you read what I posted earlier, I already said the equips were given to my friend who quit Maplestory.

[quote=dbswjddn]@WiseAran i hope you will not be a hinderance to khaini's economy D:

OT: What i do is i merch equips, i know basic prices, ill ask basil, ask guildies, and if im sure i can get a good profit OR if i dont end up selling it i can use it! Therefore its a win win situation for me, and with this recently ive made my 3-4b into 6b worth of equips. it takes some luck, yes, but i like it like this so that i dont go money crazy as i used to be... hunting and meeting new people is much more fun

EDIT: Reason for this is because i like BIG profits at once even though smaller profits little by little may stack up to more. preference thing[/quote]

Ahh. Because I never really merched, I always wondered where people find items that are worth billions. Do they spam in fm or go look through fm doors? o_o

[quote=Zzyncookie]1) Especially since you're investing your equips for it : Don't use any risky methods like cubing/scrolling/ whatever.
2) First you'll want to get to know the prices
3) Get a mushy
4) Start buying/selling scrolls, potentials, enhancements, scrolled equips, cubed equips, BC ores, bfuries, cilbis, ws, etc etc etc. For a low price
5) Put them in your store for a higher price then you bought em for
6)?
7)(if you're doing it right)Profit![/quote]

Ahhh. I was planning on keeping my furies (3 sets) instead o selling them. Would it be more beneficial to sell them or keep them till I finish upgrading?

[quote=crazypoorer]if you can total the prices of your equips, how can you not understand merchanting >.>
dont tell me 2bil worth of equips happened to fall in your hands from the sky one day[/quote]

The equips were given to me by a friend who quit maplestory. He found no use for them so he just gave them to me because he understood how much of a novice I was.
