    First, what is Reselling?
    Well you’r a reseller when you buy items from other users and sell them to someone else for a higher price.

    Starting:
    Before you can start reselling you need a budget from at least 200k…best amount to start with is around 500k…
    In the trading board you can make a topic with the title:
    Reseller buying ETS
    Reseller buying HTS
    Reseller buying ETS/HTS
    …

    What items to go for?
    Well that depends if can wait long or just not…
    If you’re not that patient you should buy ETS (easy to sell), and if you are you can buy HTS(hard to sell)
    On HTS you can make bigger profits then on ETS, but it can take a while until you can sell your HTS.

    ETS items:

    Paintbushes:
    - Under 800k: offer around 50k lower and you can still haggle a bit
    - Above 800k: they are a little harder to sell so I would offer at least 100k less, you can always start lower and haggle a bit.

    Petpet paint brush:
    - Only go for the PPPb above 100k and offer at least 20k lower

    Avatar items:
    - Just go as low as you can, start with half of the price the person is asking and say that you want to haggle

    Morphing potions/Transmogrification Potions:
    - Also just try to go as low as you can…never offer more then 2/3 from the TP and even on the special colored MP,
    - Never buy yellow/ blue/ red or green MP unless the limited edition pets
    - Never offer more then the PB is worth.

    BD weapons:
    - Check the rating on this page: http://idb.finalhit.org/,search is in the top right :).
    Only buy the good weapons

    HTS items;
    Never pay more then ¼ from the TP price !


    Selling your items:

    Try to put them in auction or TP.
    You can also look for collectors (galleries).
    You can sell your weapon on the BD board.

    Tip:
    Always ask to post in this format:

    Full name of the item
    Rarity
    TP (trading post price)
    MP (the sellers price)
    Haggle

    It’s a lot easier

    "If your buying something, check the TP first so you wont' be scammed!!!"

    You should only be reselling if you know the value of the item you are buying, so you can't really just say "never offer more than 1.1 on an MP" - does that mean I should not take somebody up on a 1.5m draik MP?

    Still a nice contribution :)

    This is really good for starter resellers.
    I've also lost profit reselling so this is great for me xD

    I have a question. I've been trying to restock for about 3 months now, and I have no success. My bst restock is a neocola token. I've tried really hard, but I just can't get anything good. So any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?

    I'm a rather good reseller, and I disagree with some things.
    I always offer slightly lower than half of the lowest on TP.

    why does it say "- Never offer more then the PB is worth.
    " in the morphing potion section?

    If the Pb is cheaper than Mp then everybody would want Pb since the same effect is obtained.

    As a general rule, what I do is in the opening post, I say to expect low offers, and then I offer about a fourth of the asking price for ETS items, and about a tenth for hard to sell items. It's a bit of a formality (I never get what I propose originally), but I've found it gets me better deals on items.

    The rule for don't pay more for MPs than the price of the PB is not true.
