    Hello Maplers!

    I was wondering if it's more profitable to sell my items using basil or paying nx to buy a fm shop. Obv. I know it's never "better" to spend real life money on "fake" money, but I mean using that money I would have spent on a shop and buying some gacha .. or just selling everything in basil. Any feedback is appreciated :)

    I've always used basil. I never used an FM shop before, so I don't know how profitable that is. Basil is a good place for buying, since you can get really cheap prices there. Its not AS good for selling if you're looking to make GP since its more competitive than the FM. But its also easier to find a buyer on basil.

    I always used Basil and many other people do as well. The FM is good if your going to afk for a night and think your items will sell. Basil gives you both a chance to meet and trade. Also you can use it to trade which is something the FM isn't capable of.

    I think basil is better. To sell things in FM, you need a really good spot. Which is very unlikely that you WILL get one.
    For basil, it's more of a "take your time" kind of thing unless you need money real fast.

    Ive never used basil but I heard its better than NX. It kinda depends on if you want the items right away or can wait.

    You can get free nexon cards by doing some sponcer sign ups. Take a look at my siggy :)

    Or help me by getting me referrals XD

    I've tried using Basil, it was a bit difficult to get the hang of it at first (When I tried to sell my first item, I ended up getting a bunch of requests from people selling it. Oops, I put that I was buying it on accident :maha: )
    but it seems to be an easy way to sell items.

    One thing I don't like is not being able to post on the forums though >.>

    Ya, Basil is kind of difficult to use. I prefer NX

    use basil, its more organized and you don't have to keep prizing.

    use basil, its more organized and you don't have to keep prizing the stuff over and over again. most of the time, ch1 is overcrowded with shops and floaters.
