And you'd be more willing to sell instant profits quickly so you have the gold again to use. You would be less willing when selling long-term investments, because what's a few weeks when you've held it for so long. Are you willing to accept less profit from a quicker sale.

'I will buy this, salvage it, sell it for 20% more'.Ĥ) The decision to relist or not should almost be a willingness. 'I will buy this expecting the supply will go down in ~6 months, raising the price 1000%' vs. This saves the 15% TP tax and gives you higher profits.ģ) When you buy anything, always have an idea how long you plan to hold onto it, and how much you will get from it. Also, usually, you should undercut and overcut by 1c not all the time, but at least do it on the slow items (fast ones it can be better not to because it saves you time and 1c).Ģ) Grouping several gold-producing methods together makes them more effective. they can change far easier and far more dramatically as the fundamental rules governing them can change.I wanted to share some knowledge, so I decided to make one thorough walkthrough and just direct people here:ġ) Almost always buy through buy orders and sell through sell listings. Or perhaps some other change to the game might ripple through and affect pricing in some other way. They didn't add much this year, so there may not be as many players going for the off-season titles and items if they stockpiled them during the holidays and the price might not rise as much or as high as it did last year. But this assumes the price will follow roughly the same pattern as last year. So if this year is a repeat of last, you will see the price slowly climb into the summer then more or less level off.

Looking at gw2tp (since spidey is missing the data), you can see the price slowly started dropping in October then plummeted during the holiday as gifts poured into the market faster than players were buying them. Looking at either site, you'll see the buy and sell lines reach a high point in July then fluctuated a bit for the next few months, occasionally spiking up to a high point but then coming back down soon after. This is basic supply-and-demand economics in action as the supply during the holiday exceeded the demand, thus causing the price to drop. does have that 'missing' data, displaying that price went down during wintersday while volume (the green line in gw2tp) went up. When the data did come back in JanuaryYou do see the price dropped due to Wintersday. I think this was due to ANet changing the item to differentiate between old and new gifts. If you drag this out far to the left, you see that there's a gap in data from mid-October to January. Now, you can change the time span by looking at the very bottom and grabbing and dragging the little ovalish icons superimposed over the dates and an outline in blue of the average overall price. They don't seem to be fluctuating much, but if you saw one or the other change dramatically, it could tell you that players are massively selling or buying the items. They tell you just how many buy and sell orders are listed. Now the red and blue bars that stick up from the bottom of the graph are volume. They buy out the lowest sell orders, bumping the lowest sell order up to 6.44, causing the green line to rise. Then a player decides to buy themselves some gifts. A couple hours later, someone undercuts the sell order, placing the lowest at 5.48, thus the green line dips. So you can instantly sell one for 5.25 or buy one for 5.84 at that time. So let's say this morning, it sees that the lowest sell listing is 5.84 and the highest buy order is 5.25. The lines are generated by polling the TP data periodically.

Likewise, the blue line is average of the highest buy order. Purple is an averaging of the green line, thus evens out the day-to-day fluctuations to give an indicator of the real direction the price is moving. The green line is the lowest sell price and the orange is the highest buy listing. The lines going up and down across the chart are the buy and sell values over time.
