Last time Martti checked that the basics are in order, so it is time to try to scrape some money from somewhere. A good starting point is to check either the latest transactions (Main Menu -> Change Log, filter by character, and if necessary by item) or the View my items -toggle in Agora, which also can be filtered by item type.
Today he is happy to see 2 developments:
- The "field" bought, has produced so much VEG that some of it actually already spoiled in the heat but 52 is left.
- More than half of the CAN listed, is now sold at the sweet price of 2,399 m/g.
Wandering around the place in Town Map will have to take place later. The town is full of opportunities for a cunning merchant, and Martti spends quite a while to examine the ones suitable for his ~2 mil purse, and ends up casting the following hooks:
- VEG market has come to 950/900 with large amounts on both sides. This is normal, and therefore does not alter Martti's decision to eat his new produce. After 40*VEG, Martti's health challenge is still Significant, with lots of quota, and some time, left.
- MEAT seems to be peaking in price; a lucky listing at 6,999 m might bring home profits just as CAN did earlier.
- Ever since the Ming China came to town, Martti has wanted to have a soup bowl (MIN-3)! At home, such luxury can be found in the Manor house, if even there, and Martti has not been inside. An amicable bid is left at 0.24 mil for the item.
- WOS-F Servant Grey Clothes caught attention. It costs 1.05 mil to even produce them, yet one set was for sale for 0.72! Bought and re-listed at the correct price of 1.5 mil, and if it does not sell, nvm because this was anyway on the shopping list very soon.
- Various lowballs bids were left. The system allows the aggregate bid amounts to exceed the money balance.
There are 4 types of investing, applicable to this game as well as anything else:
1. Buying low, selling high.
2. Making markets (doing the above, but both sides at the same time).
3. Making the money work for you (investment with a fixed or variable annual profit).
4. Gambling method (buying whatever as long as the EV - expected value of return - is good, and usually calling to the end).
Despite his meager means, Martti has already embarked on all of them:
1. Several bids have been placed with the intention that some of them will sometimes bring in goodies. Simultaneously the suit is listed at a bit toppy 1.5 mil.
2. CAN market both sides are frontrun by Martti.
3. The field brings in VEG every year (and twice since last login ;) )
4. Bids for RAF-1 tickets have been placed. If they are hit, and win, it is likely that the luxury goods won will be put for sale, a 15-yo former peasant has none whatsoever use for wine that is older than him, or Venetian mirrors in 1 sqm sheets!
