Hoarding large amounts of goods was something that merchants would only do at certain times.
For example, from the open beta to the official launch of the game, a large number of players would enter the game and increase the demand for goods. The price would definitely rise. Many people would take this opportunity to hoard equipment at low prices during the open beta and sell it at a high price after the official launch. This was a successful example.
But in reality, it wasn't that simple. A large number of players entering the market would only cause equipment prices to rise for a short period of time. After all, in the game, every player was the number one consumer and the number one producer. It was just that the higher level players were the more advanced producers, while the lower level players were lagging behind. However, advanced equipment produced by advanced producers wasn't cheap. Not everyone had the ability to hoard large amounts of equipment and resell it. Most merchants hoarded equipment that was only for the middle class.
As the new players leveled up, they would soon be able to obtain this equipment. Therefore, the price of this equipment would only rise for a short period of time. When a large number of new producers entered the market and the number of goods increased, even if the price didn't fall, it would still be difficult to sell it.
Buy low and sell high. It sounded like a simple phrase, but there was a lot of logic behind it.
Those who could make money from these words were always the minority. Otherwise, there wouldn't be more poor people than rich people.
For example, from the open beta to the official launch of the game, there were many people who saw this opportunity, but a portion of them only knew the surface and didn't know the ins and outs of the game. In the end, they hoarded too much equipment.
The rule of the game: As time goes on, equipment in the early stages of the game becomes worthless. Currently, the price of this batch of equipment, in stock terms, had already fallen below the issue price. Moreover, it was the kind that was hard to sell. Although there were no more hoarders, there were still normal transactions in the market, and the competition was quite fierce.
At this moment, Gu Fei threw out a pile of equipment. Anyone with a discerning eye would immediately notice that most of the equipment belonged to the middle class of the game. They immediately thought of Gu Fei as one of the failed merchants in the wave of reselling. Moreover, this person had actually held on to this rotten stock for a long time. It was truly a failure among failures!
The group of people laughed and looked at Gu Fei without any sympathy.
The new generation of players hated these reselling merchants for taking the opportunity to make money from them, while the old players envied them for taking the opportunity to make money. Hence, both groups of players felt disgusted by the failed reselling merchants.
These two groups of people were already all the players. Therefore, when Gu Fei, a suspected failure, appeared, everyone's faces were filled with schadenfreude.
Gu Fei didn't know what was going on. He was happy to see that he was the center of attention and felt that his business would be bright. Then, he squatted down and carefully of the equipment on the ground. Although there were no level requirements for equipment in the parallel world of equipment, the stats, the attributes of the equipment could be categorized. The equipment could be of value. of of of of of of of.
All of Gu Fei's equipment were Blue Equipment. Unless it was of a very high level, there was no market for White Equipment. Blue equipment was the mainstream. Most players would start with a full set of Blue equipment. Then, they would work hard to find a way to upgrade their equipment to Gold equipment, starting from the parts that they valued the most.
Gu Fei very quickly categorized the equipment into different categories. There were all kinds of accessories on the head, on the body, on the hands, on the neck, on the fingers, on the chest, and on the feet, filling up the space in front of Gu Fei. Gu Fei nodded in satisfaction, wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up.
Someone had already noticed Gu Fei's actions. Gu Fei immediately responded with a kind smile, "Equipment, anyone want?"
Everyone happily shook their heads.
Gu Fei's smile was a bit stiff, this made everyone even happier.
Ignoring the fact that Gu Fei's equipment was a bit outdated, the people in front of them didn't need it. Even if they did, they didn't want to buy Gu Fei's equipment. The trade street was very long, Gu Fei only had the most common goods, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to find them elsewhere. Therefore, "Let's let him die in our hands!" Everyone had the same mentality, and they dispersed while hissing. Many of them were still enjoying themselves, looking back many times to admire Gu Fei's expression.
Gu Fei was confused.
Was it because his equipment was too outdated? Gu Fei also thought of this point. Most of the equipment he had were obtained between level 20 and 30, so it seemed like they were relatively cheap. But along the way, Gu Fei paid attention to other players' stalls, and could often see equipment of the same type, so he felt that there was a market for these items. But thinking that there would be very few people who would choose these equipment, he had to wait patiently! Thinking of this, Gu Fei was no longer anxious, and found a comfortable position to sit on the ground, and began to wait patiently.
In the trade street, the most common sound was naturally the sound of bargaining. Gu Fei quietly waited for customers to arrive, and through this kind of listening, he learned about the market.
As for the price of equipment, Gu Fei had never studied it before. His original plan was to set a fixed price, 10 gold per item, and earn 200 gold would be enough. But after paying attention to the situation of the surrounding stalls when bargaining, Gu Fei realized that he had overestimated the value of the items in his hands.
The pile of expired products in his hands, most of them probably weren't even worth 10 gold. The stall diagonally across from him had a pair of shoes with better attributes than the items in Gu Fei's stall, but the final transaction price was only 8 gold.
Then he observed the other successful transactions, and after comparing the attributes, Gu Fei finally realized that he had been blindly optimistic. Let's not talk about whether or not he could sell all the goods in his hands, even if he sold them all, he might not even be able to gather 50 gold. In order to gather 200 gold, he would have to make a few trips back and forth.
Gu Fei's selling was the same as his character points, he pursued speed. He only hoped to save up 200 gold as soon as possible. As for whether he would make a profit or lose, he didn't care. With this thought in mind, he simply raised his voice, "One Dollar Shop, 1 gold per item, anyone who wants it!!!"
Low prices were always the most beautiful temptation in the market. With Gu Fei's shout, countless players immediately rushed over. Even some of the players who had originally set up their stalls couldn't help but come over to take a look.
Gu Fei was overjoyed, and calculated in his heart, "1 gold per item, 200 pieces of equipment should be able to gather 200 gold. Everything in my storage should be around this amount. As long as I make a few trips back and forth, 200 gold won't be a problem. "
However, he didn't expect that he was blindly optimistic again. The players who had been called over by the "One Dollar Shop" carefully looked at everything in Gu Fei's stall, and soon shook their heads and left.
Cheap was indeed tempting, but if it was something he didn't need, no matter how cheap it was, it would be useless. Moreover, Gu Fei and the other small fries didn't have any value in buying low and selling high. A few of the players who had come to take a look with this mentality also left dispiritedly after looking at his stall.
In the end, there were still some players who stayed. They were all wearing beginner clothes, and they were definitely newbies. As the equipment didn't have a level requirement, it was very tempting for them to be able to wear Level 20 equipment. However, for these newbies, it was obvious that their wallets were thin. They were more familiar with silver and copper coins, and as long as the word "gold" was mentioned, it would be a huge sum of money to them.
Because of this, they stubbornly wanted to bargain with Gu Fei for 1 gold.
Gu Fei forcefully said, "It's already cheap enough, no bargaining", and on the spot, three of them left.
The remaining two were very patient, and they coaxed and pestered Gu Fei, calling him "big brother" countless times. In the end, they helped Gu Fei create a buy three get one free promotion, and each of them spent 3 gold to get 4 pieces of equipment from Gu Fei, and happily left.
He finally earned 6 gold. Gu Fei sighed with emotion. He took out his money pouch and threw 6 gold into it, then looked down and counted again. Unfortunately, Gu Fei didn't have a small amount of gold before. Right now, his gold was 37 + 6, 43, and he still needed 157 gold to reach 200 gold.
"Are all of these sold for 1 gold?" Gu Fei was counting when someone suddenly asked.
"Ah, yes!" Gu Fei replied as he immediately raised his head.
"It's you!!!" The two were startled at the same time.
The one who came to Gu Fei's stall to ask about the price was actually Boundless Boundless.
Gu Fei was just surprised to meet someone he knew. Apart from that, there were also some doubts in his mind. The Gu Fei she knew was the person who had helped her outside of Cloud Peak City, the expert who had killed six people in an instant.
In the game, experts often meant wealth. Although it wasn't absolute, it wouldn't be too poor. For Gu Fei to have to sell off such a pile of rubbish to earn gold coins after gold coins, this kind of desolation was too unexpected for Boundless Boundless.
No matter what, with Gu Fei's current level, wouldn't he be able to sell a few pieces of Advanced Equipment faster than selling them for 1 Gold for 1 Gold?
Boundless Boundless had indeed thought of the most suitable way for Gu Fei to make money. Everything in the game was linked to levels. Having the highest levels could be said to be the number one productive force. The highest-grade equipment produced from this method could dominate the market. Many experts in the game had become rich because of this method.
The fact that there was no level requirement for equipment from the parallel world made this path of making money even more attractive.
Unfortunately, due to the difficulty of leveling up, the gap between players' levels wasn't too wide. Hence, this method of making money wasn't in the hands of a select few.
However, Gu Fei was blessed by the heavens. This was because he had the ability to kill monsters 20 levels higher than him.
