confirmed, prices are obviously off at house of fallen leaves.

i suggest just running a new char from CB and you'll probably get killed around the middle of hte blightlands, but that's ok because no exp penalty for death, and if you make it to the blightlands you'll be warped to house of fallen leaves.

another suggestion is obviously sending 12 or 14 slot bags to your new char(s), send some money, and buy as many 21c sashes or belts as possible. here's the reason:

they cost the least at 21c each. they should normally cost 10s93c each from the vendor just like all the other pieces except for the chest armor. they will sell back to vendors after the inevitable fix for 8s75c. so say you fill your inventory of 56 slots with these. 56 inventory slots times 21c equals 11s76c (that's your input cost). now when selling 56 of these, times 8s75c, you will get 4g90s back. that's a little over 41.5 times the original amount you put in.

however, if you do this with the heavy armor chestpieces, they cost 40c each. although they will sell for about 12s5c each, it takes more money to put to buy them in the first place. so it'll cost you about 22s40c to fill inventory, and you'll get back 7g. however, you're only making 31.25 times the money you put in. with the sash's, you're making over 41.5 times the money you put in.

hope i didn't lose ya there with all the math but this'll let you make more money by being able to discern which pieces to buy for max profitablity.

I unerstand the math but the reasoning doesn't make any sense.

For example.

A=chest pieces
B=sash

If I had A) 100 dollars and could invest it for a sure 1000.00$ or B) I could choose to put 50.00$ in and make 900.00$ . Yes choice B gives me the best profit but I still come out less money. If you were not limited by bag space choice B would be wise but you can really only choose A to make the most money. Choice A costs you more but you get the most money back for the limited bag space.

My 2cents.

true enough. but bag space isn't REALLY an issue considering bags aren't that expensive and you can use the 60 (now 30) slot crafting bag exploit.

but you are right, and the choice is up to each person.

the bag or vendor bug? there was more than one vendor that was bugged. one was fixed, this one isn't, yet.

i don't know about the bag one though, i haven't tried it.

No I meant the vendor price bug. I read through the whole thread now and see that this is a second identical bug.

I will defiantely check it out :)

EDIT: Its still valid BTW. i just checked it out.

I'm new here...so if the harvesting tools turns out to be profitable, do I get some kind of credit for the contribution or do I need to post that somewhere else?

Just be smart about it here are some examples to help in the process of not getting it ruined for everyone.

1. Dont be overly greedy
2. buy a few of several different items (A few hvy,med,light) from each of the vendors there are 12cp-30cp items that will return you a nice profit. If you buy 20,30...100 of one item and they do scan ya will be in for a loss. If ya have 3 belts 4 gloves, 5 hats, of each type etc it becomes even harder to track:)
3. Spread the items around, a few mailed to alts (though it will cost you 40cp+ to mail em), a few in bank, a few on person
4. When they do fix it DO NOT GO AND CASH EM ALL IN AT ONCE!!!! cash a few here and there as you need it! It sends up bells to see a toon all of the sudden increase wealth in one setting, and that includes selling and buying other items, just spend it over time.
5. See #1 you dont need to flood the market just yet with pp:) keep the demand/supply controlled, like diamonds in real world, and your investments will go alot farther. If you get greedy and flood money into the market then all hell will break loose and prices will be out of controll.
6. Just be smart and have fun, and of course make a gold or two...or three:)

i finally jumped in on this craze. Loading up CE and using the speedhack to get mules over there really fast. I'm only getting 2-3 mules, though, don't wanna risk it too much.
