Playing the Market Place on Evony
Playing the market place:
There are 2 key things you need to remember when playing the market place for profit:
1. You are charged a 5% fee for each transaction made
2. Rescources bought from the market place take 30 mins to be added to your rescources, although gold is given instantly when your item is sold.
Its important to keep that in mind to ensure you dont leave yourself short. Keep enough rescources at hand to complete any building and training you wish to do in that time.
Buying low and selling high
The only way to play the market place is to ensure your buying and selling prices have a significant difference
Stone yields the most profit in % terms, although can be low in gross turn over.
Leaving several purchases of stone at 0.001 overnight can leave you a bumper crop for the next morning. Stone can go as high as 1 per unit, netting you a massive 995% profit on your purchase, even after the 5% fee is taken into account.
Always make sure you leave enough spaces to purchase anything you require during the day, as you will not be refunded the posting fees should you need to delete posts from the market place to buy other rescources.
Prices continually change throughout the day in the market place, and its not always easy to predict when will be the best time to buy or sell. Even if you overstock on a product, as long as its cheap there will always be a time to make a profit.
