need a little direction on merchandising
as a little mile stone, or what ever you call it, I will soon have to deal with buy/sell items that are over 10b worth. Thus far, for the cheaper items I have gotten by with just a shop up in fm, but I want to ask the pros or the higher ups: how does the processes of expensive item trades take shape? I mean, iI suspect there to be a lot of mutual trust since you do have to do mutiple trades or transaction through other commodity means.
any how, being a full F2P player, I need to learn these things to be more knowledgeable, most importantly to be not scammed.

For expensive trades, I typically rely on vouchers.

lul i personally find clean slates market price quite unstable

pretty much its either a collateral trade which is the SAFEST way or ..a vouch trade with multiple transactions but should only be done if the voucher is 100% the person they say they are and also are known to be trusted
or u can do it in multiple transactions
i'd just find something that you could easily liquidate. if you're vouched well enough then you can just find someone to pay in pure mesos in more than 1 trade. option 2 is obviously safer as you're getting pure mesos right away instead of items that you'd have to sell that could be duped/deleted or crash, but getting enough vouchers for option 2 to be an option takes awhile
what about those that are worth a lot more? like say 25b, then how do i deal with that?
Yeah basically you buy something that has a pretty solid non changing price in the FM, like prime scrolls which r usually around 1b and dont move up or down too quick, as the extra + mesos. So 12bil would be like 10bil + 2 prime scrolls, so u could sell those back for the extra 2bil u need.

trust? what? unless you're doing some ToS breaking trade....
[quote=Doutei]one way is to trade things that have a strong value such as prime scrolls to make up the extra mesos.[/quote]
