How to Short Sell Items on MB

[IIBEEFCAKESII]

The question wasn't which items you can short sell, it's which items would. It's not about possibility, it's about practicality.

You would need items that sell regularly, are somewhat scarce, and that someone else hoards.

Liquidity is nice, but any item that your comparing weekday/weekend prices on has a pretty solid about of liquidity already.

Yes there might be liquidity, but not at the new price I make available at the top end of the high trend.

It isn't limited to "items that sell regularly, are somewhat scarce, and that someone else hoards". The beauty of selling short is, as a seller, I just have to identify when an item I have in stock is over valued on MB. If the item is peaking, it does not matter WHAT it is. As a seller I can make Gil by liquidating low priced items by focusing on QUANTITY, or I can focus on high-priced scarce items and focus on QUALITY (i.e. rare sought after items).

Wal-Mart vs. Boutique Vendor.

Practicality is time dependent. Those with MORE time will find this MB strategy useful, those with less probably won't. The finite nature of time is what creates opportunity for middle men. Don't hate just cause I might have more time.
