I started Vending and realized I need help!
I need someone to teach me to vend. I have low funds about 1.5mill in pure. X_X

Well, I suggest Exchanging instead of Vending with 1.5mill pure, Exchange until you get 5-10mill then vend. :3

Go to the exchange forum, purchase an item for a low price then sell them in the marketplace for more.

ouo I see. Until I get 5milll or 4mill?
#6
Until you have atleast 4m. If you end up liking exchanging you can do both since they can go hand in hand

People aren't selling for that low anymore though, if you do go to the exchange always try to purchase items that sell.
When I started I lost a lot of profits on items that nobody wanted to buy.

Always look the item up in the marketplace, if it's not a popular item and it's above the average selling price, don't buy it, chances are you'll end up selling the item for cheaper than you bought it.
Stay away from less popular RIG items, as well as newer MC's and cheap EI's.

If you end up buying an expensive item, say with the whole 1.5m, you should always calculate the 2% tax when selling in MP.
Ie. If you buy item x with 1.5M and you could sell it in the MP quick for 1.6M, you'll end up with 70k profit after taxes.
Not saying that the 70k is bad, but you could do better :)

Just some things I learned the hard way.

Except when you sell it in the MP then its called Vending if you were to stay and sell it back on the Exchange thread then it would be Exchanging.

Meep o.o that's weird, I've always mixed them up and people have never corrected me.
How awkward.

Nah back when they got the MP it sucked so hard vending didn't exsist and selling on the MP was what shady exchangers did. Only since I've quit in '07ish have I ever seen "vending" actually used
