    Default Merching?

    Hey guys! Skull here, and I was wondering....why is it so hard to merch in AL? I was a very good merch in PL, and I made tons of gold. Although in AL it's become a struggle to merch. I'm not too hardcore of a merch but in my spare time I like to buy some items a bit cheaper then usual and merch them ( obviously lol. )
    I just recently spent some of my gold buying a level 5 Sorcerer's Theurgist Jacket of Will. I've been trying to sell it for a while but no luck. Can anybody give me some tips on merching? I have about 300k to spend now.
    Some questions that I would love to be answered:

    -What items should I merch?

    -Should I merch holiday items?

    -If an items costs approximately 325 - 350k, how much should I buy it for to merch?

    I would really appreciate some tips from Love, or Apollo as I hear these 2 are master merchs.
    Please add me In-Game and/or post here, Thanks!

    I'm in the same boat and have read merch guides. The problem I see is things just aren't selling. I've got a couple elite pinks thatve I've been trying sell to no avail. We need the merchant kings to recommend something that can sell besides rabbits and granites

    Love has told me see merches mythics and arcanes.
    Seeing as the mythic weapons were really cheap this past weekend, those would be a good item to merch.
    The prices are probably gonna shoot back up in a matter of weeks or months.

    Obviously lol, I would have bought tons but if you actually read my post I only have 300k to spend. If I could, I would've bought all of the mythics and arcane lol, easy profit.

    Default Merching?

    I turned 50k into 200k this weekend by buying the crates before the event abd selling them when the prices got higher in the event. So try some locked crates

    Here's why I think it's harder to merch. The listing fees in cs.

    A lot of people do not list their items. Therefore it's a lot tougher to gauge what the "value" is. In pl it's relatively cheap to list items. In AL, listing an item for 300k is a pretty big risk for some people.

    Don't take it from me though. I suck at merching.

    Unfortunately merching in AL recently has become very tough as the economy has pretty much been at a standstill. Because of the way elite dungeons scale to cap level, all of the elite gear from previous campaigns has become discontinued. This means no new players are getting those drops. So unlike in PL where I used to merch many twink items, there are none on the market to merch. Those who have them are keeping them (or have quit), and new players are not getting those drops.

    So the only thing to really merch is end-game gear, and because we are more than half way through the current campaign, there is not really much demand for those items either right now. The only items anyone wants are mythics, and with 300k in your bankroll, you're not going to be able to merch mythic items.

    The other big obstacle in AL (compared to PL) is the auction fee. In AL the auction fee is 5%, where as in PL it is only 1%. So in PL I could buy an item for 26k, and resell for 30k and make a nice profit. In AL I need to buy lower in order to make a profit, and it's hard to find sellers willing to sell items for so much lower than auction price.

    But in general, I think the big obstacle is the lack of twink gear dropping. There was discussion in another thread about STS eliminating the elite dungeons. I hope if & when that happens, they also make the drop system as it is in PL, where you can still get elite weapon drops from previous campaigns, whether it be from chests or just regular drops. Because most merchants I knew in PL dealt in older gear. In fact, most of them intentionally stayed away from merching gear from the current campaign as prices were too unstable.

    Merching mythic items is all very well if you have the gold...
    Buying ONE mythic mage gun would set you back around 2 mil during the weekend. Now hold that till after. Then sell expensive. Listing fee would set you back another 2 million. Unless you have that kind of money in the first place, merching mythics will be hard.

    In the 26 lvl cap, when I finally learnt how to merch by reading forum guides (buy cheap, sell expensive), i scanned the cs for an item that would increase in the future like limited time gear or crates. Next I would buy up 2-3 or higher, depending on my limited budget. I made a few 100k by merching crates.

    I think that's basically wat merchin is.

    Try traders Market - you can price your items for less than the cs b/c there is no listing fee. You also don't lose that gold if your item does not sell.

    My problem isn't the listing fee, it's the fact that none of my items are selling.

    Mali drops from boss in Elite Rooks Nest, though it seems most people here will only take the time to make fun of you for reviving an old thread and not answer your question.
