i like buying sought after stuff and merching it or buying collectables and merching it

you just gotta use common sense and be creative

First off, earn some NX to get a store. Nexon offers some if you have the time to do some surveys.

1. Hunt and sell big spider familiars til you have ~50mil
2. Use a Global MapleStory Free Market Search Database
3. Learn accessory crafting. Buy ABR recipes off botters that sell for cheap. Make + sell them
If your server doesn't have a renowned recipe botter, keeping hunting spiders.
4. Do this for a week and you should have a couple hundred mil
5. Learn the prices of NX items, nebulites, AEE, Rings, Pendants and cubes (Literally write them down on a piece of paper and have it in front of you)
6. Buy low, sell high
Protips:
Stay away from chairs, mounts and collector items. NX tends to fluctuate so be cautious.
There you have it. If you aren't a billionaire within 1month following these rules then there's absolutely no hope and you should quit. Kidding, but keep trying.

[quote=xequipment]thanks @opmod[/quote]

It's a little easier for me being in Khaini as far as skimming the fm, but learning the prices of these general items would be a good way to start:
Clean Slate Scroll 10% (popular due to elite bosses)
Master Craftsman Cube and Meister Cubes (same as above)
Protection Scrolls
Safety Scrolls
Epic Potential Scroll 50%
Evolving Rings 1, 2, and 3 at max level (17, 17, and 10 respectively)
Spell Traces
These are just a few items that you can learn quickly and buy easily as they don't cost incredible amounts of money to begin with.

If everyone reveal the secrets on what to buy and sell, then everyone will copy and then becomes unprofitable.[/quote]

If you haven't realized, there isn't a get rich quick scheme that all these Merchants know, but won't tell about. It doesn't exist.
If you want to make money in a timely fashion, learn your prices. Buy low, sell higher. Everyone wants the money, but don't want to put in the work to make it.
Skim the fm 3-4 times a day. Set up a shop when you go to bed. If you don't have a shop, get about 200m from elite boss farming (CSS 10%, Cubes, Prot Scrolls etc) and buy one through gifting.
Once you start making money to sustain yourself (4-5b+ each week), I'd look into a mushy shop as it just gets even faster from there.
@xequipment : I answered your question as well.
