How to Short Sell Items on MB

[dspguy]

P2's item is being returned, w/ potential interest.

In your initial "7-point plan" there was no mention of gains made by P2 (otherwise known as the Benefactor in your MB strategy). If P1 is splitting the profit with P2, then I can see people maybe being interested in this.

An FC member and I had our own mutually beneficial agreement. If he found a niche in the market that involved a crafted item, he bought all materials, I did the synth (0 cost to myself) and he listed the item. I got 1/2 the profit. Done. Simple. Seemed fair and it worked. This even worked if he found a direct buyer (no MB involved).

Sure. This is optional. The Benefactor may decide the terms of essentially loaning the item. Since it is a variable that is decided between P1 and P2, and the terms can be anything, that's ultimately left up to the players. I should have made this more clear in my OP. *I edited to reflect.

The main point of OP was to bring to people's attention the concept of liquidating inventory at the right times and rebuying, at a lower price, something you plan to use in at a future date. The frequency at which this is done can yield major profits, especially with a large static inventory.
