So still some people selling at 75 ea per exalt, those people will be out of exalts and gone soon enough. Patience is key here, especially if you still have fg, in my case right now I still have 95k fg which is more then enough if I see something I want. And in league I refuse to buy something in the first week anyway as shit is so overpriced, just wait til week2 if you have to have something it will be half the price or even less. If you are going for number 1 in league, then spend up by all means and good fucking luck beating the people with 0 life or responsibilities other then playing for 16 hours a day or more. Personal,y I couldn't do it, I would get bored and burnt out way to quick.

once again the person that added me on Skype comes through and keeps on com it back. This is why it is so important to be legit, this man has been better then my rmter in the last 2 weeks, comes back every 2-3 days and buys 10k plus worth of exalts. You never know where a good trader or partner to trade with will come from. Now I just bought some more exalts but know I am really looking for people who want quick sales, below 75 per exalt which in turn continues to drop the median price per exalt for me, if I can drop it down to 75 ea and I have just say 1000 of them, might take a little time but they will sell at 85 ea, but if I need quick sale I can sell at 80 ea and still make plenty of profit. Besides the fact always look at your worst case scenario. Your worst case is you want to sell them at what you bought them for and break even, the market can move quick and prices can jump or decline in a matter of days. At around 77.5 average price I have no worries about my worst case and breaking even. Just take that into account when you are flipping because markets do move. Real money trading sites also help move the markets in one or the other, there is a lot of factors that can take place.

Until next post, stay patient, stay strong and keep on flipping

Man I am getting lazy, or maybe just was tired. Came home from work last night and didn't even get through act2 normal on league none the less. Missed the first 2 days, son killed per my playing time the 1st time I got to play, but was able to push my way through at least act1 before I had to get some sleep, last night no excuse, baby was sleeping, was rolling right through it, and literally was falling asleep at my computer. Seriously I wish I could just skip running the 4 acts 3 times over. Imo is fucking boring as hell already, and I guess between getting up early, working to midnight, my brain just just said fuck this and closed my eyes. Let me tell you I will be looking if anyone is selling a rush through merciless. Well worth the fg, I hate running those quests for the 100th time, yes I know how to run it quick but seems like that is not even good enough anymore. Tried to push through the end of act2 but almost died to the weaver cause my eyes were closed half the fight :)

Still have a fuck ton of exalts, but that was to be expected, just patience my friends, they will sell. Other people dropping price and that's great, their exalts will obviously sell first, but I'd rather those exalts be taken off the market quicker. Any really good deals I try to scoop up or someone else does so those exalts last minutes. And those are becoming much less frequent which is a good thing.

dont be afraid to keep buying, was down to about 1100 exalts out of 1300, and buying back @ 70 or lower i keep on averaging my price per exalt down. just was able to grab another 100 exalts @ 68 ea. Usually about a month into league, prices start to rise again, and as long as I can keep on selling some exalts here and there, i can keep on buying.

Looks like the really cheap exalts are starting to fade, which is a good thing. hopefully within the next week or so, prices will start to rise, especially since i have so many. rmember the ball is your court when you have mass exalts. you are a one stop shop. alot of people that want to buy 100+ exalts rather deal with 1 person and one trade then trade with 4 different people for smaller amounts. dont lose your patience. this is always the key factor, patience. this can get you good deals on buying and selling. as long as the game is not dying that you are flipping in, you will make profit. nothing much going on in last 2 days, but again league is like 5 days old, so this is to be expected. I called it out before league even started that it would be slow as shit to begin with.
learn your market and what to expect from it.

edit: when you see someone trying to buy exalts @ 70 ea and there post is 4 hours old and they still have not bought them yet, is a tell tale sign that alot of exs were bought up already. 2 days ago, that person would have been flooded in his post.

So I sold 152 exs before at 85 ea, and just bought 200 more @ 70 ea

The fact that people are starting to raise their buying price to around 75 now is a great thing, and I keep on averaging price down. Pretty sure I just about got rid of a lot of the ones I bought at 80 ea, cause every time I sell, I feel like someone is pming me to buy on the cheap. Gonna give myself an average price around 70-71 ea now, cause I did buy a couple of hundred below 70 ea. I keep on spending because I want to get those cheap exalts off the market and in my pocket. Again my worst case scenario is selling them back at cost @ around 71 ea, yeah I wouldn't do that, my worst case right now is selling at 75 and still making a profit. But again I am the one that spent 100k fg and has to sit on the exalts waiting for a buyer, so yes you should make some coin.... Again patience is key. I like to hover around 100k again as people see fg as just another reason to trade with you as hey feel safer trading with someone that has a lot to lose if they scam. Not that I would scam anyway, even if I didn't have anything to lose. Nothing worse then a fucking thief.

Pms out of nowhere are a wonderful thing so is old some more exalts at normal price, around 200 of em.
And just got a pm out of nowhere from someone I have traded with in the past, bought 113 exs @ 65 ea which ofc is a steal, to tell you the truth with the amount I have right now, I wouldn't pay more then that. But it does help keep on pushing the average price I payed per exalt downward. Now the pm where the person bought 200 exalts and the pm where they wanted to sell me 100 exalts came out of the blue, both of them. I have traded with them in the past but yeah in the past. When you are good mannered, friendly and trustworthy people,e will hold onto your pm for the future. Basically it pays not to be a dick, especially if you are going to try and flip.

Internet is a wonderful place to hide and be a douche bag, I get it. That doesn't mean you have to follow the lead of a lot of these people that are trolls to other people or just plain like to be a dick to other people. I'd bet 98% of the assholes wouldn't have the nuts to say 1/100th of what they say to people on here to their face in real life, because they would get slapped like a bitch. I don't troll people here, I talk shit and fuck around with my friends and stuff in real life, but I am not a dick to strangers for no reason. besides people with the biggest mouths are usually the quickest ones to get into the fetal position.

Moral is be good mannered, people remember good traders, that are nice, quick and trustworthy and they avoid assholes. Everyone knows by now I flip and I still get hit up constantly for buying and selling.

Still waiting for my 5-600 exalt sale hopefully will come soon, used to being closer to the 200k range of fg not the 100k, but as long as I can sell high and buy low, well shit that is the name of the flipping game my friends. Every time it happens my price per ex goes down which means more profit

Stay patient, and keep flipping ;)

so everything seems a bit more insignificant tonight. One of my co workers called 911 2 days ago cause he couldnt breathe, when they got there he was unresponsive. He had a total organ failure. Brain scan came back today with 0 activity, tonight his family did DNR ( they pulled the plug). he leaves behind his daughter......................

this will be the only post about this in this blog. And i hate to be morbid, but it is pretty sad. Nobody promises you tomorrow, and the past is the past. you have today only. I make sure to tell my wife, my sons (yeah I have one that is a bit older besides the baby)and even my mom and my dad. Anyone that you love, tell them everytime you talk to them. because you never know when will be the last time you get to say it. i do and if i go tomorrow every single person that i love, sure as shit knows it. And it just boils down to another person that I know that died way to young. Unfortunately I have been to way to many funerals, memorials for people that shouldnt be dead at the age they died. I need to take my mind off of it, so gonna try and grind a bit on league.

I promise most posts will be about flipping, sometimes real life sucks hard. But whatever doesnt kill you, makes you stronger. And if it does kill you, fuck it your dead anyway.

I am pretty sure I wont go that quick, I have alot of karma from when I was younger that keeps on coming back to haunt me, pretty sure I will suffer before I go. if you gonna go, go quick. that is all you can hope for.

I am gonna go kill shit now, be back to my normal posts tomorrow.


stay patient, keep on flipping.

Ok back to normal, thanks for letting me get that off my chest.

Nothing much going on at the moment. Still some really cheap exalts out there, as you see them, buy them. Take them off the market. The quicker those are gone, the quicker price will start to rise against, still a great buying opportunity out there. So especially flipping, grab the cheapest ones you can, they will sell, like I keep on saying just have some patience my friends :)

So switched modes back into buying.

People are still selling at really cheap prices and I am going to help dry those up and take them off the market. Once that does happen, there will be a stalemate where people will still be looking for exalts at those prices, but will not get very many at that price, and sellers will not sell at those prices, nothing will happen for a couple of days until one side breaks, usually it is the buyers that break because people with exalts we'll have exalts we do not need them. The buyers do, price will then start to rise. Can't let exalts this cheap be bought up by other people with out getting a bigger share of them ;) almost back up to 1300 exalts it yet if you notice my gold has gone up. Still selling higher and buying back cheaper, so even though you cannot see the full effect. Once that huge buy comes in it all becomes clear, and you will see profit. Unfortunately I get bored waiting around and I am not gonna sell cheap cause well fuck that. That is when I creep on bnp which is so hard not to start pooling and shit. I trying my best not to. Cause well if I didn't have bad luck I would have no luck at all :)
