I make millions of gil by uplisting gear you can buy from vendors.

Should I feel bad?

Nope, that's how I make my money. If people can't be bothered to look things up even when SE listed a sale by price for just that reason that's not my problem.

[Krotoan]

If someone can't bother to literally talk to the NPC 30 feet away from the board.. that's on them. May your profits be large and may bots never find your moneymaker.

Imeant I make an effort to h most of the time, so I can feel confident in that when I sell gear, it's gonna be better than the bog standard stuff.

Plus they don't sell green gear anyway

Sometimes I've sold stacks of iirc 2 Gil salt for like 1k per salt lol. That sort of reselling is not particularly fast Gil but it's certainly easy, usually I only bother when near an NPC already - it's not like I need it, just think 'what the heck, why not'. People who don't really care for their Gil and or are making such huge margins that they don't mind are going to be the ones buying stuff like that, I don't mind their donations lol.

Good job, thanks for destroying my market by literally telling everyone my secret. Now everyone is going to do the same thing ugh

[CatStarPrime]

Nah, lots of people do that. It's the "Convenience Store" mentality, more power to ya. It's easier to go to a Market Board and buy the upcharged stuff, than try to remember, however briefly, what vendor you need to find - for many people.

That changed a little with whichever patch it was, that made a lot of the city vendors carry all the different levels of items (to a certain level). But not much.

F'r instance, that Hempen Camise that sells from the Vendor in Ul'dah, for about 100 gil? Yeeeeaaaahhh... and how much are they on the MB, any given day?

I used to make gil by buying up cheap ore from the Beast Tribe vendors and re-marketing them. Haven't done that in a while, but I imagine that's still to be done, also.

[Awha]

Should I feel bad?

No you are providing a service to those in need.

[AnotherPerson]

It's a service - people don't have to go farther to reach a specific NPC when you can just sell it in the marketboard.
It's certainly one way to sell and make money although it's not the best way, it's definitely a lot easier than spamming dungeons.
