Ok, so I read your tips/links fAQ thing and found it quite outdated to the fact that I had already used those OLD practices a few years back, before I quit. But, now the market has changed since Taxes, RIG items, and EIs were itnroduced to the system.

I know two things: 1) Make a thread in the Wanted forum advertising that you are buying items from uses
2) haggle to get them lower then MP value, then sell the item.

But, now I'm wondering, what are the NEW hot items? Which items should I avoid exchanging and which ones should I buy the most? What is an average percentage undercut from the MP with which to bargain with? (Note, currently has 1.2 mil to worth with)

I'm not an exchanger but here are a few tips.

Unless the profit margin is worth it then avoid items with less than 5 sells per day. Be sure to check the MP graphs.
I undercut by 1-100g. But that is not a set system.

Whenever a rig/mc/shop update occurs then people mass dump items. Check the MP and I guess the exchange.

Any item you look up in the MP has a "Show Graphs" link right under its picture. Click it and it pulls up the graph. It has a monthly/yearly graph.

Very Usefull
