And now i buy mayb 1-5pinks a day.... i really dont c any unpriced items anymore....

    Best way of finding cheap items is to stay in cs and search for them repetitively,
    Think this way, 100+ items get placed in cs every minute across alterra, 5 of which may be profitable. That's 5 profitable purchases in one minute.. Then you search again, and again... And again... And again.. Etc etc.
    Now think this, say if we had 5k profit on each item we just bought and we had 100 to sell.. That's 500k profit in just over an hour, do this everyday then... Well you do the maths

    Also one more thing.. If you have 100+ slots then your selling rate would increase a LOT.. Having more slots means faster money and more transactions

    Hope this helps! Feel free to ask more questions! Il be happy to answer

    It happens.. lol (Should be Here can PM Sam to move if you like )

    But yeah 4k in PL seems like nothing esp with the amount of currency in that game already.. (4k Gold = 160 Cred)

    I have around 125 items on 135 slots every day, that's how I make my profit, and while my items havnt been sold I search for new ones, when old ones sell il always have new items to re list.

    I'll assume you meant "commodity items" rather than commons since it's hard to find commons that have a 4k profit margin. Yes, you can absolutely find commodity items in PL to resell with 4k profit margins. And you can find commodity items in SL to resell with profit margins in the hundreds. You just have to look.
