GoldenRoya has joined in and sent:

Currency: 60,000

May 2006 letter
June 2006 letter
August 2006 letter
September 2006 letter

I put the letters up for sale and will post the total gold after they sell. I also have Willowbark's mule with some of this gold as I can now buy more than 4 items. GR will probably end up with her gp total on the mule. This will make figuring out the profit for both of you easier.

OK, Here's the current setup and the starting gold for each:

This is on this account.

Uma: 130,000
Ethan: 11,000
Zeddicuus: 84579

On the Mule, named Grual:

GoldenRoya: 157250
Grual: 1500

NOTE: I will sell GoldenRoya's letters in my account and swap the gold I deposited onto Grual into hers as they sell. Eventually all gold I set into the mule will be considered hers. Her letters will go over the 81,000 I deposited, so I will transfer any over the 81,000 into Grual so all of her gold is in one location. All profit in Grual will be counted as hers.

I'm fussy, I want the list of the letters being sold put into my store details heheh razz GR is still getting the gold for the letters.

I will edit this post each time a letter sells until it's setup so that I have my gold back on my side and she has her gold in Grual.

I will not create an update post until all Letters are sold.

EDIT: Transfer complete! GoldenRoya's investments are on Grual, Ethan and Uma are with me.

Update one:

Zeddicuus:

Original Total Value: 225,500gp

Current Financial Value: 73,000gp

Items for Sale (listed at cost I paid)

OMFG - 87,000gp
Lunar Cloak - 57,500gp
Scar of Hero - 22,000gp

Current Total Value: 239,500gp

Grual:

Original Total Value: 158,750gp

Current Financial Value: 167,500gp

Currently has no items for sale.


So I made nearly 10,000 on Grual, 14,000 on Zeddicuus, and this is what? day 2?

I don't really understand what you are doing and why you are using mules, but ok.
PostPosted: Thu Jul 26, 2007 9:15 pm


I can see where it is confusing, but once I explain my logic(illogic?) it will hopefully make more sense.

With four people in this, I have a crap load of money. 384,250 to be exact. Now, in the Marketplace you can only have four items for sale at a time. Now, I can buy some pretty damn cool items to sell in the marketplace, sure. Four OMFG or four Guitars, two Bani Clips and two Katana at once. Some of the 'high end' stuff.

But they move the slowest.

Solution? Space the money out to two accounts and I can now deal in eight items instead of four. The items are the smaller, more popular items that normally sell at a fairly rapid pace. Money that sits stagnates and does not grow, so you want items that come and go rapidly. The only problem is their price fluctuates more rapidly so you have to be careful of when you buy.

Eventually you get enough headway in both accounts to buy some of the larger, highly popular items like the Katana, the Norisu Scarf, the OMFG and still have enough for some of the smaller items like Whips or Gauntlets to keep a steady profit rolling.

To do this, I placed GoldenRoya in one account, as she sent enough gold and items to get going there. I kept Ethan's gold and yours in my account so that there was enough money here as well to keep rolling steadily.


Is this making sense so far?

Yeah, makes sense to me. And thanks for the updates, Zed.

Say, I've got a mule account just sitting around doing nothing; if it'll help, I can send you the pw and you can do a bit of business through it. Triple the earning capacity. mrgreen

hooray earning capacity! Maybe I'll convince vixen and Swoobs to join in on the fun...

We might end up becoming a business! :O Except, with only one employee!

Currently I only have enough gold to keep two accounts fueled with the popular, lower cost items. Not the insanely high priced ones like Bani or Goti Clips. You don't want to rely on just the low cost ones as they tend to periodically flood the marketplace. Usually I'll have one higher end item in a store, then one or two midrange ones and one or two lower ones.

Good example is currently I'm carrying a Guitar of Demona which can go for well over 90k ('high end'), a whip which goes for 30k ('lower')+ and a gauntlet which can go for about 26k('lower')

I usually have a midrange in there too, but I have a katana in reserve as the prices are going up a bit so I'll set it up when the time is right and score a night profit on it.

Unfortunately for Grual, I mispriced a gauntlet sweatdrop I had it set to 33,000 by accident instead of the 26,000 so it didn't sell all day yesterday. My bad! But at least the it's not a loss yet as the price is still decent.
