    Simply long onto an EU server if you wanna know it... that's what those merchants did.

    I'm pretty sure some are friends with gms. I have personally bought 10* orbs at 10 mill below market price only to have them go on sale two days later.

    The European servers, as people have said, provide merchants their information now. However back before they existed, people would have constant conversations about sale speculations. They would list out the previous sales and try to find what we are due for next.

    actually i just buy gold when its cheap. then buy things when its on sale and when there's no sale. I just put prices higher than the usual prices. sometimes i have nothing in shop I just fill shop with extremely expensive items that I dont quite want to sell. but people still buy it anyways.
