Eventually other sellers go away, and I put the price up to 10k again. I start selling 1-2 a day, and cloth supplier comes back with more when I need them. I reset the market up to around 8k, buy out single stragglers much below, and put my range at 5k-10k with normal price of 7789g.

Derp guy goes away after a couple weeks, and now i have a huge load of garns bought for 3-4k, and the ah all to myself, with a past established price point of 10-12k, and the price war having cut them to around 5k. Just when I am thinking that I need to think about backing out of my contract - contract supplier emails me and tells me he is going to back off to wait out the nonsense going on at too low price levels, and I agree.Ĭloth supplier then comes up with offer of selling me low enough that I can undercut derp guy and still make money, I take it. He gets totally nerd-raged and says he is going to ruin their market, makes a lvl 1 alt after one of them+derp and starts posting garns at less than I've been buying from either of them. Cloth supplier guy and his running partner piss somebody off while farming garns who thinks they stole a tag or ninjad something (maybe they did, they are kids). he tells me he sells alot, my sales go down, but I'm playing the long game and still just barely ahead. Well he decides to compete, he hates the auction house, so mostly he posts one or two there in competition, but then advertises in trade at way under the ah price. I say not interested unless he goes super cheap as I have a regular supply and I'm not selling it all out. Now my other supplier comes back and offers me more. I warn him that my stock is building and that the day will come if the price starts dropping that I will want to cancel our contract and just dump my stock cheap. This goes on for about 3 weeks, and I'm happy, I'm selling about one a day, so my stock is building up, but I'm making as much as I'm paying. After a little bit more market experience, I can come up to a number he's okay with and we make a deal, he sends me 3 every 2 days at 70% of the realm price we have set together. I took the deal.Īfter a bit of whitelisting, and slow selling, I got another email from my competition pushing hard for a plan where he farms and sells to me wholesale and leaves the ah market. He had no interest in buying me out at a reasonable price, so we whitelisted each other for a bit and I sold another, but before I got rid of my last, one of my big suppliers of cloth offered me a dozen garns at a steal price, less than half of what I had now sold 3 of them for over the course of a week and a half. we went back and forth a little, I told him I wasn't really serious about the market, just came into a good deal on some, and wanted to make my sales, he could buy me out if I made some profit, or we could whitelist each other. I listed lowest, then it got deep undercut near where I bought it, so I bought up a few, to relist, sold two at a good price, then got an email from the #1 garn farmer/seller on the realm proposing a deal, he liked farming the things, but didn't like ahing or selling them in trade much. I kind of backed into the market by selling a high end item to someone with limited gold and took one at about 70% of the ah price as part of the payment to get the price where I wanted it, back a few months ago. It took awhile to become very profitable, and was touch and go at first. I’ll be eventually moving all my past and future stories/comics over to my website: had a great little market going with Garns for a while. I don’t think the account will be closed but I will no longer be posting to this site. So thank you all for the good times here! (And thank you to the Dragon Age community who I love dearly but I don’t make a lot of art for!) You can still talk to me/find me over at Twitter and Instagram, I don’t respond a lot on DA but I’m still kind of there. After much thought I’ve decided that while Tumblr has its shining moments, it’s also a source of stress for me and that I might be better off with fewer social media accounts. I’ve been thinking a lot about my relationship with social media and both the good and the bad that it brings into my life. Tumblr has been a source of inspiration for me and a place to connect with people, share stories, and make friendships. Thought about making a special art piece or attempting an animation but I decided I don’t want to make goodbye art, I just want to tell you guys goodbye from the heart.

I’ve been trying to figure out how I’m going to say this for about four months or so.
