I've read all of the tutorials and some of the other threads too, but I'm not really sure I understand. Such as when and how do I start? Seemingly since Sealeds are deflating, what item should I use? I only have 2k so far and I'm trying to get a Nitemare Headband fast. Please help me, I'd like it better if you PM me.

* Tickets priced at 1g per ticket, buy and resell at 2g per ticket.
* Fish underpriced... ex: 10 guppy for 10 gold. Buy and resell at shop for 3 gold each (30 gold = 20 profit).
* Look for items priced over 2k and buy them under 2k. Example; Angelic Parasol is being sold for 2k... buy and resell for 4k.
* Look for underpriced shop items. I personally only buy them if they're under the store price (ex: a 500 item being sold for 200 gold on buy now). Relist the item at 75% store price... if it doesn't sell by the time you'd like it, resell it to the store.
* When you get up to the 5ks, start vending Donation Items. Buy under normal value, sell high. Keep in mind that 'normal' values have a range... there's won't sell, will sell slowly, will sell quickly, stupid to sell at. Will sell quickly will net quick profits, but not large profits. Will sell slowly will net large profits, but slower. An example is Angelic Parasol -- Say you buy one at 3k... you could resell it easily at 3.5k, or wait a day or two and sell it at 4k.
* Buy Sealeds at or around 5k... resell when the new item comes out and the prices are at their peak (generally a week or so into the month... Chyaku hit their peak on the 13th, I'd say). Can net up to 2k profit per letter. Always keep a Donation Letter in reserve, because a year later, the item will be worth a LOT of money. 2k gold in profits now is not worth losing 20k gold in profits later.
* Never sell at a loss. If you have to, hold on to the item until you can sell it for at LEAST the same price you got it for. You'll never need gold badly enough to warrant selling an item at loss. No arguement there either; no matter how important something may seem, this is a -game-. Things will still be here in a month, or two.

2k really isn't much to start on, but you can get there. Just have patience and realize that 'fast' isn't neccesarily good. When you do have the gold, don't just buy the first headband you see. Watch the prices and know what range the item goes for, and buy it at the lowest price possible. And, for the love of god, keep some money aside to invest later after you get the headband.

Its best to start with 20kg. If you plan on actually doing it, make sure you have a window that is ALWAYS on the marketplace. The best item right now to start with is the Dark Halo, seeing as they are really popular and worth a small sum of money. Also, try and avoid any items over 50k since a lot of people either 1)Dont have the pure and will want items instead or 2)Reluctant to part with a large sum of money and not be able to make it back
