I know what I'm buying next...
Oooh so pretty :O *grabby hands* It's perfect for that dragon. I need more obsidian/obsidian/maize crackle dergs since that's usually the only time I like crackle.
I thought I had that accent but it was just blazing phoenix feathers :/ The price isn't a huge difference so maybe someone will wanna trade hmm
Speaking of skins/accents, I just grabbed a Dioptase for 20kI'm thinking of getting as many cheap Dioptase skins as I can because I see those being worth a fair bit in future and it's my favourite from that particular series of holiday skins. I hope Ecdysis will worth a lot be because I have like 14 of those lmao
I knoooowwww, right? : D I tried the accent on my other Skydancers before and it was just kind of okay. With him, it's GLORIOUS. I'll be sure to post their hatchlings whenever that happens. Might be a Maize Crackle in there somewhere. o: Their range is only 3 wide: Maize, White, and Ice.
Everyone seems to have phoenix Feathers. o:
Nice grab! Dioptase is a really nice skin and Coatls are popular, so I'm sure it'll go up in price. I really hope Dracolich goes up in price, because I somehow ended up with a ton of those. .-. Also, have you thought about grabbing cheap Bouldursas? They're been sitting at around 15k recently, with some 9k and 10k ones once in a while.
Also, I feel a little bad, because I think I'm sniping Crystals against you. >.> Sorry.

The Bouldursas are ugly, but they prooooobably won't drop below 10k. So it's likely that this is going to be their bottom price. Or you can resell for like 15-20k now for instant profit. xD;
I thought Dracolich was really cool! And then their prices dropped and I couldn't resell. .-. Such is the fickle reselling game. It's the Scavengers Gear I should have stocked up on, really. .-.
I grab anywhere from 10-50k. It depends on the dragon for me. I'll take anything at less than 30k, but get choosy (because I'm out of lair space and have 15 unsold Crystals still whyyyy) at around 40k. Got niiice twin Imperials for 50k each a little while ago. And I noticed we went half and half on those Tundra siblings. I took the Silver/Silver/Sand and you picked up the other one soon after. Sold mine for 60k.
One thing you might try to get more profit on each dragon is pricing them the lowest of their species. Especially for Spirals and Imps and such. Like I saw the Spiral you had earlier was 55k, but the next lowest on the AH is 71k. It's a slower sell to price it at 70k, but you'd get more for the same dragon.
In the mornings people dump all their hatchlings for cheap. If you hold onto the nicer ones til the afternoon, pickings are slim and people will be more ready to pay more for something nice. Also, more people online then to be buying. (Not sure what these times would be for you, but the 5-9AM server time seems cheapest and 2-3pm-ish seems to be when it starts picking up.)

i think i need to ask xanarcah to be my financial adviser and help me sell stuff lmfao, i cant do this **** by myself
xDD;
I only know the ups and downs of certain markets, but feel free to ask me anything.
I just started with the Crystals a few days ago, but I'm addicted now. .-. It's an unstable market, but I'm hoooping I can make some profit from them before either prices fall or they go haywire when Facet is released.

honestly ill be coming to you with my entire ****ing inventory someday so watch out for that, im REALLY bad at making money in every game ever so i admire people who are good at it hahah. never been good at market stuff. idk yet, id like to make 800k for my lair expansion but... maybe ill wait a little (mostly because im lazy).
out of curiosity, why do people cut prices so much besides mispricing? like selling a crystal for way under what people usually sell them for -- the ones youve been sniping. o:
If I'm not working and have a full day to play FR, and I get lucky, I can make 300k+ a day. Usually it's more like 100k, though. It's all down to luck and whether the market is hot or not. Making internet money is what I'm good at. IRL money, so so.
people probably cut prices so they can get a high turnover and fast profits. The term is quicksell. Like the person who had that 10mil Light Sprite? They have like 10+ other high value items going for cheap too. Those items are slow sellers because they cost so much. It can take days or weeks to sell one. If they're 50-100k under the normal price? Someone'll jump on it because it's a good deal. Like me and the Speedy this morning. Bought it for 550k. They're usually 700k. But how fast does a 700k one sell? It might take a whiiiile. The person who sold for 550k now has 550k to work with and use to make more profit. In the time it took for the 700k one to sell, that other person might have made way more than the 150k difference.
And some people just don't know what they can really go for. There's also that.

Random example about the Crystal market that no one asked me for, but I'm gonna post anyway.
So this dragon:
Jade Crystal/Blue Shimmer/Gray Smoke
55k in the AH, been there for maybe an hour and a half now.
Great colors that go well together, nice genes. It's not selling now because it's early. At around 4pm when players come home from school/work this would be an easy 65k sale.
Haha, it sounds great, but only because I don't tell you all about the bad purchases I've made and had to swallow the costs of.
I'm sitting on at least 9 Dracolich that I'm waiting for the market to go up on, and like 5 Boneyard Scavengers, and maybe 15 eggs. I am not even kidding.
EDIT: 21 eggs, just counted. D:

oh! that makes sense! hmmm i see, markets are interesting. i make about 1k a day if that so YEAH 
(i also dont really try anymore whoops)
well someday ill come to you about some stuff if thats okay qvq i really...hoard... way too much.
ACTUALLY. question. how do you know whether to vendor something or sell it on the AH?

I'm a hoarder tooooo. : D I also cannot pass up a good deal, so I usually have very little actual money. I spend it about as fast as I make it.
It depends on the item, I guess? Something with a fast market, like eggs or new festival accents would be better off in the AH. Something big and slow might be better off on the forums because more people will see it and maybe decide they want it right then and there, as opposed to sticking it in the AH where people will only see it if they're searching for it. Like accents/skins. There are toooons of them, but if I only know the names of like, 5 I want, I'll only search for those 5 in the AH. If there's a thread selling them? I'll look at them all! Maybe I need 3!
I'd personally stick big items in the AH and then advertise it on the forums at the same time, though. With a little written blurb like "In the AH for x price, but willing to negotiate/trade for certain items/currencies/whatever". Seems to work out rather well and it's not any slower than selling it only with one method or another.

20k for a Scavengers Gear is a GREAT deal! Well done! : D They're probably expensive now because the one accent is like an entire set of armor but it doesn't take up apparel slots. I wish I'd realized that before.
Ohman, I want fat chubby baby birdy familiars, yes please. o: Cats would be amazing too, though. And would make a looot of sense.

oooh okay, i see. i was also talking like random items like... junk you get from coli and stuff, but i am GOING to guess if its not a swipp item then i vendor it since you didnt mention that
i need to stop hoarding utter junk ugh...fun fact: i have like 15 sunbeam ursas because i thought theyd be as popular as the light sprite. arent i a funny one. hahahahaha (i dont know the market for them but i still laugh at my silly noob notion from when i was new) ((i still have the hope theyll be that popular im so dumb))
