Pap is lvl 125, so not even that.

1st rule is, of course, buy low sell high. I bought ANY hot ticket item that I saw which I though I can make 1 million mesos off or more. I bought things like Gloves for Att, Claw for Att, Shoes for Jump, things like that.
2nd rule, stay away from dark scrolls. The whole time I merchanted I steered right away from these things. Especially 70%'s. I only bought 60% scrolls, and I still made a killing off of what I bought and sold. I thought of it from my perspective, and I wouldn't use a 70% as often as I would a 60%. Some people would take the risk, but I would say that a majority of people would use a 60% over a 70%.
3rd rule, don't get discouraged if you stuff doesn't sell. Quite a few times I would set up a shop overnight, and none of my newly purchased scrolls would be bought. It's okay. Try them again at the price you have them for one more night. You also need to realize, if the price is TOO high, it's not going to get bought. One tactic I would use would be, if I had the money, buy every scroll in that Free Market screen that was under my price of the certain scrolls I had for sale.
Optional: If you don't mind being a douche, and have the cash, go though the entire FM and purhcase the entire stock of a 60% scroll. At first, I would go though and buy EVERY 1hand Sword for Att 60% I could find. When you buy the entire stock, people kind of have to buy from you. There isn't the luxury of choice. If they want it, they need to go by your price. I wouldn't overprice the scroll though, even though I had every one in the FM. If I bought a majority of them for 4.5m, I sell them at 5.5m - 6m.
That's basically all I did and made a killing in Bellocan.
Heh, your douche tactic reminds me that another aspect of a successful merchanter is being very, very patient. Yes, they mention waiting a few days and such for your stuff to sell, and that more often than not rewards you. It may be necessary to wait for weeks or even months for other possible deals however, given how volatile Nexon is with their updates recently. Take White Scrolls for example. In Khaini, they sell for about 350-400 mil, and you can find at least one every three days or so in FM. That's nice and all that if you have the money. But a sudden event may show up where you find a White Scroll for much cheaper, such as gachapon notices suddenly screaming "THIS GUY GOT A WS FROM GACHAPON!!!" every 5 seconds, or (most likely) someone trying to sell one for absurdly cheap. Case in point, I managed to rip off an alliance member who was desperate for a quick cash infusion and bought his White Scroll for 250 mil. This may seem trivial when you think about long-terms and such, but pinching every penny you have could eventually get you some of the nicest things around.
