Christ I wanted to hit him every time he said the word "merch".

 

But there are parts that shows he clearly hasn't done his research or even planned the video. Like him buying blood runes and making a 5gp profit, then saying 1k will get you 25k profit.

I remember back when people didn't want to make videos to help others just to get more popular, instead they just kept methods to themselves or let out the secrets to a select few.

Granted this is hardly a secret, and not even close to good money anymore thanks to videos like this.

 

Thumbsdown in terms of the quality of it being groundbreaking. Videos don't make a guide by my standards either. I like that long, thought out, well-explained post with the pictures. Ones that used to exist in Aow a lot.

Oh well. Maybe next time you'll teach everyone something that isn't known =P.

 

EDIT: To comment on the merch thing..

 

Merchanting involves strict participation with the community, player-to-player, yields massive profit, and is harder work (social relations required, also doesn't exist with the GE).

Flipping involves quick-sales for small profit (under normal circumstances at least, usually determined by item value and %'s). <- what your video is.

Investing involves a long-term commitment in buying and selling, can yield the highest % profits, has the least amount of work and is the slowest, usually.

Rares are NOT a real item you flip, you merchant, you invest in unless you commit that long-term stuff, in which case it's purely based on trends and not even close to unpredictable under normal conditions. Also, it's hardly a decent way to make cash unless you're good at merchanting to begin with.

 

MERCHING was coined by stupid pyramid clans that ruined Rs. Ge free-trade now does that by itself, on top of centralized wealth and many rich players. Grand Exchange is horrible.
