They say that if you want to earn good money, you have to invest a good amount of money.

That philosophy I learned long ago helped me pretty well in trying my luck at the marketplace. And my luck didn't let me down as I already earned quite a good sum of gold today, probably 2k in around 2 hours of buying and selling. Not bad for a beginner, eh?

It really isn't hard to play at the market.

All you need to have is your marketing instincts on whether you'll by that certain item or not, a li'l sum of gold for a good start, good calculation (you'll need it to calculate if you'll still earn a good amount of gold even though there's that 2% cut) and patience. A lot of patience.

I started off at buying and selling Cuttlefishes. Actually, I didn't mean to start my buy n' sell business in the first place. I was just supposed to by myself a Cuttlefish for my aquarium and then the thought of buying and selling just popped into my mind.

Anyway...

There I was, looking at the list of Cuttlefishes being sold.

The first few tries of buying and selling wasn't that good. But things started going well after my first number of successful transactions. And then it continued until I decided to stop for a while. I was surprised at how this marketing strategy really pays good gold.

And that's the story of my first ever marketing experience.

It's just sad, though, the marketplace isn't that active at night (+8 GMT) like it was in the wee hours of the morning.

But, hey. There are still more days to come and I hope that in those days, I'd become a successful marketer. xd
