Getting it wrong?

 

Reading the graphs wrong or an item updating overnight when you dont expect it.

Only overnight merchs when your item may flip under resulting in you breaking even/ making a loss.

I don't really find much of a problem with it, I usually have plenty of an item i need.

 

Also wrong area. This probably goes in General Discussion or something.

random ge updates. set ge updates would make the playing field fair.

It wouldn't change much. Most merchers have a way of knowing when the ge updates. I know IRC has bots that tell you seconds after it updates. This would just make it easier, as some people can't get on during certain times and depending on when they do have it update it might be at an inconvenience for some.

The item doesn't matter, you could pretty much merch "any" item in the game, you just have to know how to.

Some items are a lot more volatile, though, and therefore less desirable to flip.

even items like needles and spirit shards?

When I leave my offers in overnight, and nothing buys/sells.
