Hello, Well I have been thinking of starting this business from the time I joined PE. This idea I am sure has been tried before. It is a Reseller business. Here are my ideas into creating this business and steps on how it will work.
The Easy Way:
This is the easiest way for this to work. You will give me the item, I take the item and use certain trading techniques like spamming and haggling. I then sell the item and you the selling price minus 5% (or a negotiable percent) that I take. Taking out the percent will give me a drive to sell as high as possible so that I can make more PEDS and in the process you will to.
The Medium Way:
Shadow-Ale gave me this way in IRC. You sell me the item for TT+75% of the market price and I turn around and sell it. I will then give you the rest of the market value. (Also taking a small portion off the top).
The Hard Way:
This one takes more time and coordination. You tell me what item you want to sell. I find a buyer and send the buyer to you. Of course this can very difficult
to do. What will happen when I find a buyer that wants the weapon now, yet your not on. That is why this is the hard way.
FAQ
Q. I don’t trust you with my item.
A. My motto is if you don’t trust me then don’t do it.
Q. Will you take your item and run?
A. No.
This will all be conducted in a business matter, with handwritten records.
I am up for comments/suggestions/bashing replies. Anything that will help me in the long run. If you want to chat about this come into the PEChat.net IRC channel. My nick is [Nemesis]Mud. I am also looking for people to test out these ways above. So I am doing the above service for a limited time for free to increase my reputable and trustworthiness.
Ok, thanks ill think about the axes and do some math to see if it will even be profitable to resell axes. I think ill be taking more off the top that te TT+ value lol Anoyn else?

where is a differece beatween placing item in auction and giving to reseller.?
anyway reseller never meet so many pplz as auction do

If you hook up with a dependable reseller, you’ll be guaranteed to sell you’re stuff. An auction may bring more peds to an item, but may also end up costing you a ped and the item back in storage.
Whats wrong with what I am doing? I am just selling items for people who dont want to sell it themselves. Would you rather be selling stuff in Port Atlantis or getting hofs in the mountains? This will also make me a place where manufactures can contact to get items. Would you rather buy from auction where half the items at 200% over maket value?

I think resellers should be banned,let the free market truly prosper :wise:

Your hate for traders is well known. But I would like to see you whine when for example you have to sell a set of armor for half it’s market value just because nobody is actually looking for it and there are no traders to offer you a decent price for it.
Just a small example. :rolleyes:
Traders are very important to maintain a relatively steady market price on a certaint item. Without traders price would go erractic just because a few people woke up on the wrong side of the bed an decided to sell/buy that certaint item.
I would think that older players of all would know that.
I am now developing a system to where you can keep track of what items I have sold. It shoes the all the items you have given me to trade, if I had sold them, if i sold them, how much i sold them for. Also a feature where you can ask for a bill of the current items I have sold. Of the ways given above. I am leaning towards the Medium way, But instead of TT+75% just the TT value. This way it will leave you with some peds so you can still hunt, mine and manufacture. I then sell the items and then pay you the rest that I sell. I think this is a relatively good system.

Umm… can you explain how getting TT for our items instead of tt+75% market value leaves us with more peds to hunt etc? I am interested in your venture here but I just want to understand fully.
Its just way easier on me than figuring out each market price to give u TT+75%, I was refering to it being better than you giving the items without me paying you anything. The tracking system that I am currently working on will support all methods of selling items. So basically the answer to your question is its easier for me and faster, to work out the trade.
So far I have 1 customer that I am selling items for.
