I am not really getting this flip-flip-flip server arbitrage business model

You aren't just selling and rebuying big ticket items for plat on a flip.

That's what you are missing. Its mostly item bartering where you really gain the big bucks per flip. Increasing and gaining 10-15k per trade on item value. You keep doing it and gaining more money, rebuying etc. CoF for TBB, Fungi + shit item for such and such, etc. Professional RMTers do this all day long, the fat cats you heard about do this as well, they just don't RMT.

Not surprised the whole thing is over a lot of peoples heads. Theres a reason why blue to red is banned and vice versa.

Its all over now that red to blue is closed.

And you post again, about how you are still confused. Its not about 1 sale, or 1 flip.

Its about skimming 10k here, 15k there (sometimes just 5k) on an item to item cross-server deal. You rinse and repeat this over and over again. Sometimes only getting 5k gain per deal.

You gain platinum by devaluing the other persons item. Its called bartering maybe you have heard of it.

Once you start snowballing you can't be stopped in a good economy, and you can collect a million platinum before you even think about RMTing anything.

Not sure you understand how the EC fatcats operate, nevermind adding server to server bartering and 3:1 ratios.

yep xfer to red 3:1, xfer from red 4:1 25% gain each xfer on blue.

i.e 10k red to blue 40k ( 4:1)

then xfer it back 30k on blue 10k (3:1) on red... you gained 10k on blue.


but not many people did this tho coz its over the head of most people; I think loudog etc did it coz all they did was farm in trashcan gear 24/7

Isn't it like 85 bucks for a pop, 125 bucks for a drill?

Good money if you are in a very big city with only a few competitors aint it? When I had to call the locksmith for my office door at 8:00 PM they came out.

He told me he was coming from another call, and that's why I had to wait so long, and he received ANOTHER call while he was doing my door...I'd say that's rolling in the dough but this is just 1 story.

charged 120 dollars since they couldn't pop it and had to blow the door, took him maybe 20 minutes for the entire visit.

xfer blue 2 red god banned coz when TMO/and other RMTs decided it was time to go; they would hand plat to people under the guise it was for cross xfer trades.

also people were buying plat on blue and xfering it across (thus washing it)

[Farzo]

people were dumb, you could farm 5 EoE's on a trashcan 55 druid on Red in the offpeak and own a fungi on blue.

I had 2 fungi's on blue doing this; but ended up xfering the wealth to red
