Here be a little guide about Merch!
What is Merch?
Merch comes from the words merchandising, which means buy and sell.
How to Merch?
Merch is all about buying cheaper, and selling for higher price.
To merch very efficiently, you must look after items that's value varies a lot. Then, you'll buy it when it's price is low, then sell it when it's price is high. It's recommended to check the auction everyday for such opportunities. The best merch system is when there is a repetitive cycle. You can also look after item's that's value keep rising, like discontinued items.
You should study the price variation before merching an item, by buying one sample of the item and try selling it for a higher price. Make sure that the profit's cover the selling taxes if you use the auction.
You should ask other's advice before merching an item: Some people must have tried merching that item before you.
You should check auction everyday for some opportunities: Some people sell items for a very low price (yep, 150k value staff for 55k ->Planar Rod of Brutality)
You should check announcements for future events. Events are the main factor affecting item value.
What should I merch?
Locked Grand Crate of the Watch is classic. It's price has been going up and down since game beginning. Look for event where people will buy them for high prices and sell them. You can also wait for event where everybody will be selling it causing a price drop and here be your chance to buy them: You'll be able to sell them when prices goes back to normal, or goes higher.
