For Example: You know level 22 Forgotten pink bows can sell for 300k because you sold on last week (random example) So you see 3 of them listed for 150-160- and 170k. You can then purchase all three of these with the guarantee that they will go up in price no matter what till the next forgotten event (supply>demand) and you can slowly sell these off at 300k. If you get underpriced just let the item expire and try back in a few days, you should be in no rush to sell it, bide your time.
This will apply for almost any item, it just depends on the market and the demand of the item, Ancient Swamp pinks take longer to sell then your average Artisan leather, but that doesn't mean you cannot make a profit on it.
- You must also keep in mind the cost of relisting items when you are purchasing them, CS will take a cut out of your profits to list it so don't be trying to make profits off of items 5k or less unless you are positive they will sell in a short time.
- To find these great deals set up a search path through the CS whenever you get on, it should go something like this depending on how much time you have to look through the CS

11-15 pinks (Armors, Weapons, Shields)

15-35 christmas items
35-65 christmas (I dont recommend buying above level 30 for christmas)
1-15 Halloween
15-35 Halloween
35-55 Halloween
Check All Vanities for any good deals (Bunny Ears, Party Hats, Ancient Coins)
lastly look at purple Christmas and Halloween for good deals
There is also a way to merch called Long Term Merching.
This is were you buy items ahead of time in the hope that they will rise in price (usually things you think will be discontinued.)
For Example: I purchased 2 Elite sea blasters back during the humania cap for 1.7 mil each, I waited till they were discontinued and sold each for 3.3 mil. That was a profit of 2.2 mil just for waiting a few months.
This was also done by some smart merch's with the Black Dragon which used to sell for 3-5 mil and is now worth 10-20 mil a piece.
Hope this helps with your guide,
-Griff
