    Considering that most sold items are boutique items (such as tokens), you still need a boutique user to buy the items or people who bought boutique from back then and sell them now. $1500 USD in coins is just unreal for a merchant to get without a boutique user who makes more money than the merchant. Other items takes a lot of patience, pretty much a lot of people will not buy most items (even some ones that are boutique) so good luck trying to get even a piece of rank 9 just by buying and selling things. I have bought boutique items with coins when gold rate was not so high just to save, all of a sudden gold rate raised so I stopped doing that because it would not be wise to. So I sold the items back for a major profit. This method is just no good if you have not bought gold or just scam the spender.

    I've been merchanting since September with 100m I farmed, and right now I have 300k rep and 205 GST with 200m to spare for merchanting 19 MoG for next sales, it's not impossible to get rank 9.

    And it does not cost $1500 considering buying them when they are on sale. Although it would cost much more than that to shard JOSD and +12.

    It's not so much the Gear level, or the gear bonuses. It's the refines, shards, and set bonuses/attack/def levels.

    A +10 well sharded player in TT99/second cast nirvana shouldn't have any problem taking out, 1v1, someone in third cast R9 with no refines and **** shards.

    R9 with +10 or +12 refines and good shards will take out a player with third cast R9 and Flawless shards and +4 refines no problems.
    101 Sage Sin*/Archer
    100 Demon BM*/Barb
    96 Demon Cleric/Sage Seeker
    95 Demon Wiz/
    94 Sage Veno
    85 Psy/80 Mystic
    And a handful of other alts, all 79 and under.
    *Pre RB level

    Wow, if a player is gonna be serious about going that far with R9, at least be serious about shards too @_@. Come on, FLAWLESS?
