A few of the big things that I have done.


1) In the Begining I flooded the Bazzar on Coronet and Bestine with weapons. Cheap weapons. T21's for 3k. You get the idea there. Every day that I loged on I made sure that I had 25 items offered to the Bazzar.


2) I always cater to custom orders. Maybe not on their time frame. Now most of my customers know I may take up to 4 days to finish but normally do within 24 hours.


3) Teamed up with another MWS. Together we cover 2 of the bussiest areas in the game.


4) Fully stocked Vendor. In my sales tent I have over 4000 weapons for sale.


5) Great prices. Even as a 12pt smith with the best resources the server has seen my prices are still among the lowest on the server. (Well, for standard non enhanced non sliced weapons)


6) As of recently I am keeping a enhanced / looted weapons vendor stocked. This takes some time but is worth it in the long run. Krayt sales account for most of my cash flow.


7) track your sales somehow. I personally use the prog "The merchat friend"
