i have question about merchanting dragon orbs, i put about 2.5m on my merch and have made about 800% profit in the last 7-8 days. i was wondering what is the MOST dragon orbs you have sold in a day(catshop) and most you have bought in a day? (catshop as well) (averages are acceptable as well)


thanks!

Umm... I find the best sellers are 4 and 5 star orbs. They sell the most and have very good profits. I say on an average day I sell anywhere from 10-15 of each dorb up to +7, could be more but I sell out of the lower star ones and keep shop up til my 4-6*'s sell a bit. With most of my profits coming from 4-6 star orbs. I only sell 3 or 4 6*'s a day, but I make close to 2m each orb sold so those are good money, I sell 15-20 5* orbs in a day, but only make 500k each on those. And yea, 1-4 star orbs are almost no profit. But I still sell them incase there's left over orbs.

i can sell up to 400-500 1* orbs in a day, and i make about 6,999 coins per orb

If you combine them yourself, you make a lot more coins.

I quit sellin orbs at the beginning of last week on lost city when I saw a dramatic decline in the amount I was selling compared to the rise in gold, but prior to that I rarely sold 1s as I was watching the profit I was making from 4-5 star orbs compared to 1*'s...Not sure if it was a mental thing, or laziness on customers part, but for some reason they were willing to pay the equivalent to 79-83k per orb on a pre-made one when I was selling 1*s for 70k and the 3,4,5,6*s were selling out before my 1*s and I had stacks of 8-12 of each.

I went through thousands per day, in a 1.5 week span I managed to make a modest 550 million profit addition to my wealth. Now Im afraid to spend it on gold again orbs are selling like **** I set up a cat today undercutting all the other shops for about 5 hours, and I sold about 55 1*s and no others.....I think the economy is speaking to us.....

I sure do miss that 2 weeks of glory

The market does that. Right now it's just me and 1 other person selling orbs, and they aren't selling very fast lol. Still making close to 10mil a day, but still...wish it was more xD

And @OP: When I sell precrafted Dorbs (no matter which one 1-7*), I make about 13-14k per 1-star used. Compared to your 7k you make per each 1-star dorb.

While I do make over 800k every time I sell a 5-star orb, a 5-star orb requires 60 1-star's to craft. So 800,000 / 60 = 13.3k~ each orb.

Also, by selling multiple types of orbs, I appeal to multiple buyers. If someone wants a 4-star, I got it, 5 star? I got it. Any star? I got it. By just selling 1-stars you limit yourself to a specific part of the market, more specifically, people that will combine the orbs themselves, and the profit is where the laziness is. Remember, youre making money because the people buying from you are too lazy to do what you do, thats why we make money. Combining them yourself and selling makes for much more money... but it also requires a lot more effort and predicting how much to make of what so they all sell out at about the same time.

Yea, 10m a day isnt bad at all, its more than Im makin now not havin a shop setup, but i figured what better time to invest some time back on sanctuary spamming nirvana runs and stocking up there while I wait/hope for gold to lower back down to a reasonable amount, but instead of removing & adding items they just keep stockpiling items in, its really driving me nuts as a very new to merchanting merchant....I really have no experience as far as market shifts, I played it very well I thought for a week or so, but now Im just in dumb mode I have this gut feeling the minute I dump my wealth into the AH for gold half the sale items are gonna drop leaving me with an insane loss.

for now Ill play it safe, I just started merchanting a few weeks ago I can afford to stick to BH, nv between my LC & sanc chars im still making about 5-8m per day per server doing bhs and nv runs.....and im fine with that.

well at the moment, i only have about 15m on my merchant, since i only started him a bit ago, so 1* seems like the easiest way, until i get enough for 500 1*'s to do you what your doing.

Yea its kinda ***. Im just making sure to keep all my money in coins (when possible) until sales are over. I dont wanna forget or something... have all my money in gold, and watch it go from 1.7m to 1.3 the day after maint and boom im out all the profit i made during the entire sale xD

Ahh well that makes sense. Yea youre right, start small and work your way up. But i'd say once you get up to 40-50 mil start crafting them yourself. You make SO much more money.

You should sell whatever it is that is making gold at the price it is at. In this case, it's most likely packs.

He doesnt have the money for a 100-pack of packs. hence why he's going into the cheapest area of merching to get into, d-orbs.

Edit: Same reason i got into d-orbs when I came to this server, cheap initial investment cost. Rep would have also worked but eh changing prices on rep badges is a pain and it eats inventory.
