Exactly. If paying 525k instead of 500k is a big deal to you, wait on restock and buy it. Or buy it through a Dom discount shop.
The player reselling is gambling their money up front that the item they bought will move in a reasonable amount of time There are items that rarely move or only move at discount cost.
Mind, I'm not talking massive amounts. 30-40% markups on mp are not reasonable, and I only do that if selling for less is just feeding other resellers money. Because the other resellers buy out cheap ones
ngl, you sound like someone who has never been a serious gene scroll seller as a scroll with even a minimum discount will sell far faster than a scroll higher than MP, so within a couple of sales your 'strategy' fails and might (might!) only work for someone selling a couple of items. Therefore I doubt that any active scroll seller, especially as prolific as Ellipoo, is 'gambling' on dozens of scrolls they are selling.
Source: me, last time I had a dom shop I started at 100kt and ended the week with nearly 8 mil.
Seriously. I make 4-5 million a week when my flight has dom casually flipping scrolls by knowing and following the market.
Why would I waste my effort catering to jerks that paid a pittance for hours of MP camping when I tried it? Dom shops are a completely different market than scroll selling.
