I started merching with only 20k and now I have 200k+ after only 3 days of merching.

Even if it is a "good" friend. Make sure u know them in real life. U never know who someone is through the internet. You can never trust what they may do. So make sure it's ur real bff from ur real life!!!!

I don't think it would be a bad idea for all merchants to get a little platinum to buy the auction slots. Then they can blow the rest on some sets and gold. You don't really need platinum if u don't use it. Just to get the slots mainly.

Originally Posted by slipeyz if plat is an issue my suggestion is making a new toon and buying the plat package for 30 plat which in itself gives u +10 cs slots and also gets you +50 inv slots not to mention the cool gear to lv up in What I mean is that I have no money to buy any plat
Good ideas

By the time the 3 day comes down, the price could have changed so much (either up, and no one wanted to buy your item, or down, and no one saw your item) that it was a waste. The easier way to go is the 23 hour or 11 hour because you can put it back up for an appropriate cost to the changing market. Just my suggestions on merching!
