"Because we can and it's free"

Now that I think about it, would getting items and selling them after a patch fall under the category of merchanting..?

that is pure merchant, i remember maple b day, when ppl was testing at tespia and maple shields wasnt droping, so i run to basil and bought some for 4 ~5m, 1 month later sold some for 30m today is 50 ~65m, last one i was keeping i sold for 55m and blew 2 scrolling xD
