For example, if there are currently 10,000 offered at the price you're offering it at, it probably won't sell. But if there's only 1 offered at the price you're offering, it probably will sell. Either way, you'll be more likely to make a successful sale by undercutting the lowest sale price by 1c. You still might not be able to sell if the price is trending downward though. If you want to guarantee a sale, you can always sell to the highest buyer. And don't forget you can relist for 5% of the price. | |

| Apr 15, 2013 at 15:07 | comment | added | Alex | I'm still suspicious. I once deposited 4 perfectly good vegetables in my fridge and when I tried to withdraw them 3 months later someone had snuck in and replaced them with rotten versions! Probably a Thief. | |

| Apr 15, 2013 at 13:50 | comment | added | Alex | @Joetjah Just a joke - about how in GW you can put vegetables in the bank, which would be a very strange thing to do in real life. | |
| Apr 15, 2013 at 13:49 | comment | added | Joetjah | @Alex what are you trying to say with your comment? | |
| Apr 15, 2013 at 13:44 | comment | added | Alex | Why GW2 > Real Life: Have you ever tried to put your vegetables in the bank? They won't let you | |

| Apr 15, 2013 at 12:50 | comment | added | Joetjah | I've just read around a bit on the wiki, and I see how this can be very profitable. So, to gain gold, you advice to sell all the loot I get from drops untill I'm at least level 70? And after that, sell all loot (except for collectibles) and salvage the green and yellow items? The Trading Post will only be any real good for crafted items? | |
| Apr 15, 2013 at 12:45 | comment | added | user28015 | One possibility to make money, yes. But ofc only bigger bags will sell and getting a profession up can be quite expensive. But then it is not that bad at all. I am tailor and I sell around 2 18 slot bags a day. Also, always collect stuff like vegetables, wood and ores and sell those. They can make you good money. Never fast travel inside areas and collect what you see. Also, green and yellow items over lvl 70 should always be salvage with a master kit to get an orb out of it. | |
| Apr 15, 2013 at 12:40 | comment | added | Joetjah | I only had a bag drop twice, and I've had quite some hours. You mean I should craft those bags and sell them? | |
| Apr 15, 2013 at 12:33 | comment | added | user28015 | Bags, Bags, Bags. In every MMO, you sell Bags the most. Obviously not the low tier ones. | |
