Learn How To Vend

[Avogadro]

Chapter Five: Conclusions

You can make a lot of money by selling things in places, and you can make a lot more money selling the right things in the right places for the right prices.??If you get it right, you can have a nice income on the side with relatively little work.??So in the spirit of collaboration that went into this article, 7-11 and I have some suggestions for marketing that should make someone a reasonable profit with reasonable work:

1. Sell fwings in every town where people congregate.??They go fast and you should realistically make about 10-15z a pop on them.??Sure that's only up to ~23,500z a cart, but for something that takes less than two minutes to set up it's a good start.??It's still 23k per shop per day for zero effort.??Plus, they're pretty much always in demand.??Bwings are also a good investment, but they sell more slowly.??Neither of us ever bothered to figure out what's more profitable between the two.
2. Blue Gemstones are also pretty good to sell, and nobody's seriously doing it.??You can buy them in Juno.??Go nuts.
3. Start up a new chain to compete with pnp.??They seem to have less time now, and that's going to be your advantage.
4. Awake pots always sell, but zerks sell for more.??It comes down to profit vs sales.??Conc pots aren't great.
5. Sell brewing mats in Aldebaran.??You need to go through there to get to the alchemist guild anyway, why not set up a few shops selling everything else so people can see them while they're heading to buy medicine bowls?
6. Sell things for quests in the room with the NPC, where possible.??That's how I made a mint on the birthday quest, before everybody else showed up and killed the profitability somewhat.
7. Sell arrow quivers.??A fairly common base price is 1500z per quiver.??Feel free to play with that, but they do sell.
8. Sell cursed water.??You should be able to get a reasonable rate on that, especially if you can do all the work yourself.

Acknowledgements:
I'd like to thank 7-11 for a lot of market research and enough data to write a book.
I'd also like to thank Hibiki for being the only merchant with a comparable level of innovation in the last three years.
And, of course, I'd like to thank the people of the server who bought from my various attempts at selling in non-traditional means.

7-11 would like to thank most of Behemoth (but not Altera) for being a positive source of feedback, and Pictish for a few creative insights that would have otherwise slipped by.

Epilogue:
This guide is intended for people who seriously want to try to make a go at vending for a secondary source of income.??I realize that a lot of people have strong feelings about this and after discussions, realize there's a lot of hate on out there for people who want to do anything differently than has been done.??Understand that I don't care, nor do I feel any sort of desire to respect your opinion.

We wrote this to try to add something to the market with some information and ideas, and if you don't like it then coming on this thread and whining is going to accomplish nothing.

tl:dr
Didn't bother to read it???Too bad.
