Isekai Elf no Dorei-chan - Vol. 1 Ch. 23 - Crooked Trade

[larcek]

haha, to be fair, i would have done the same, though at different shops. 10% discount on buying and 10% more profit on selling. xd

 

[Gotim18]

This would work if selling it to a merchant but due to markup doing both at the same place would lose him money.

 

[Ringz]

Shameless! SHAMELEEESSS!!!

 

[AnimeJ]

Arbitrage!

 

[silverlightning]

Ha! The first Fable game let you do this, buy all the diamonds from the merchant so they have low supply, the price for selling them goes up and you dump a ton back for a high price and the supply goes up and the buying price goes down again.

 

[Yavetill]

A true min/maxer and a grinder, this manga captures perfectly how would I (and most of my friends) abuse the system ?

 

[crunchyspider]

If I recall, there was something like this in Faxanadu...

 

[AbuHajaar]

Flipping is great. I used to play MMORPGs and not level at all, all I would do was buy/sell and make steady percentage profits.
I remember in RS F2P going from 1 mill to Santa hat in a month or so.

 

[Madcat6204]

Frackin exploit! HAX! Breaking the economy!

...I totally just did something almost exactly like this in the game I was playing last night...

@larcek Let's be real, he came back there because he wants to ogle the receptionist's boobies. :>

 

[hagenobaka]

Not the kind of grinding I was expecting from this manga.

 

[ReaperCreeper]

Heh, occasionally this has a good joke.

 

[jackslate]

Better than I expected. Though buying price!=selling price, doubt that 10% would over-compensate for it, unless the guild for some reason has the same selling price as the buying price.

 

[SpaceFlower]

That’s the most fucked up thing I’ve read in this manga

 

[depzdai]

He's destroying the economy of this world.

 

[Chooie]

literally flipping stones and making exponential amounts of money, best way to go haha.

 

[jackty89]

Kind weird usually in most RPG's the buy price is nearly double/tripple it's selling price

 

[zenyo]

Good one ! That was quite a fun original variation of the usual template of selling magic stones at the adventurer guild to get money.
These skills will probably be nerfed soon tho... ?

 

[monkey123]

Wow what douchery. Even I wouldn't do this. Not to a thicc woman. Obviously not a man of culture...
