I don't get it, how do you buy cheaper and sell at a higher price?

[Martin240]

You place a buy order for buying cheap. Most people are dumping their items in buy orders to get quick money. This is what you are taking advantage of. You now list the items at the normal market prices which is usually a little bit more than the buying order. You need to make sure that the margin is more than 15% or otherwise you will lose money as there are auction house costs!

[Nurideen]

[hahajung]

yeah not working for me kinda.. put a buy order to a amount where i gain 1 copper when i resell and i dont get any sellers for my buy option D:

[kamil234]

there are quite a few items you can do this with. i started off with 8 silver last night, now im over 2 gold with about 3 hours i put into it

[xysoulxy]

what items did you use to do this? I also tried this but it was like +10 silver over 3 hours xD

[kj598]

Yes, can you give us some items you use? Thanks!

This way is working well with copper atleast. buying for 16 c and selling for 20 c, makes 1s of profit every turnaround, and it takes on average about 2 mins to do one turnaround. So:

30 silver / hour, roughly calculated.

Not that good of a profit, but still a steady income if needed.

Now if this could be applied to other items with higher value, it would be more profitable, so please, if someone has any tips on other items that can use this system, share them!

buy exotics where there is only one in sell, and then selling for a bit more ? it could be good because the prices aren't really fixed.

Seriously, you shouldn't use the TP to make gold. I had.. Quite some gold, and started doing fast pace % positive trades but due to the buggy, stupid and utterly useless system gold sometimes disappear. Which means it'll eat your profits up in seconds.
