I wonder how the merchants are willing to buy the stores

I seriously have to wonder how the merchants stand buying these horrendous mushroom store weekly.
If not for the Marvel Machine, I would never have bought them.
It's expensive and not long lasting....
They are hurting my wallet so bad, I know, I know. there's that 90 days AFK store but I don't have the tendency to leave my character AFK tending the store 24/7.
And the chances to disconnect or crash is pretty high too

Well problem is... I haven't really been doing much hunting lately.
But I'll take your advice to heart.

How often can you get the prots/safetys/cubes?

I just wish Nexon could make it so we can use one of our other character to "stand-in" and help manage the 90 day store permit.
Much like how the part-time job for profession work (I doubt barely anyone uses that anymore, lol)

Even though you said you don't like leaving your character AFK etc. etc. you really should just try it. It's like, what? $1 for a 90 day store permit? Things will sell easily if you price them cheapest. Right now you're wasting real money that would have gotten you like 600mil per mushroom store.

[quote=SilvaLau]Well... ok
Maybe I'm drunk....

But yea... if you don't earn at least 600mil per week, it's really gonna hurt
I'm not a merchant, I only want a store to sell my item CONVENIENTLY and I sure as heck won't earn that much in a week [/quote]

[quote=SilvaLau]Whether they use mesos (illegal method) or use cash (legal method), it still doesn't change the fact that the store are expensive and expire very soon.
It's really gonna hurt anyone's wallet, imagine... 1k nx = 1bil mesos...

and how much are those stores again? 6k nx for 1 week?
If you don't earn more than 6bil in 1 week. big ouch....

If they don't sell well, I'll bet it actually cost more to maintain the store....[/quote]

The current nx:meso ratio in khani is about 70~85, and the mushie for 2 weeks costs ~10k nx.. So as long as the merchant makes more than 700~850m profit in 2weeks, the mushie is totally worth it.. Not to mention the amount of electricity you are saving from not standing 24/7 in permit besides the items in mushie tend to sell for higher price <3
