a nice read, though I already knew a lot of this stuff... the selling scenarios made me laugh, cause lots of merchants in khaini will just "lol" at you and cancel the trade if you offer too high. The polite tone of this guide kept a smirk on my face too, as the majority of the merchants I've dealt with are rude little bastards who scam to no end, often hiking a price during a long sale...
A couple issues though: sometimes a scroll will be NOWHERE to be found in basilmarket's auctions, leaving you, the potential seller of said scroll, to search for the price in shops in the FM. This can be pretty accurate, but then it's also wise to know that FM shops are FULL of merchants who gouge prices far beyond what an item/scroll is worth. This might leave you with a scroll/item in you shop that's WAY overpriced, leaving you with no hope of selling it (unless you happen to have a FM ch1 room 1 spot).
Another recommendation for would-be merchants is - if you have time - visit every shop in the entire FM, looking for grossly underpriced scrolls that you can sell for a profit. There's usually lots there, especially in the mid-numbered rooms.
Oh, and FAQ means "frequently asked questions".
Great guide though, and much better than some of the merchanting guides I've read that basically teach the reader how to scam the crap out of their fellow maplers.
