How to Short Sell Items on MB

[IIBEEFCAKESII]

1. Player 1 (P1) borrows product "A" from Player 2 (P2)
2. "A" goes for 10,000 Gil on weekends and 5,000 Gil on weekdays
3. P1 immediately sells the borrowed product "A" for the going weekend rate: 10k
4. The following week P1 buys back P2's product on MB for 5,000 Gil
5. P1 returns the borrowed "A" to P2 the following weekend
6. P2 still retains product in the long run and P1 makes 5,000 Gil off an item that DECREASED in price
7. P1 never puts in his or her own Gil, though he or she is obligated to pay back P2
8. P2 may present terms to P1 upon borrowing

The Catch: If the price of "A" goes up rather than going down, P1 will LOSE Gil rather than gain it.

I hope this simple idea will help those that like to play the MB! Happy Gaming.
