I don't know...
You complain you can't sell your stuff.
On the flip side I can't afford your stuff. Pots, reagents, catalysts, and ammo is where all my zeny goes. I don't have that much spare change to get better gear from most of you. I seriously drop millions on all that I mentioned. I make zeny by OCing junk. I keep the stuff I find that you guys like to sell so I don't have to buy them from you when I need them.
It's tempting to buy HD ore and reset stones and sit upstairs in Eden vending it...
Fun fact: It seems the community feels it's approximately $1 for 5mil zeny.
Consider the cost of obtaining some of the stuff to sell it to you. People who hunt that crap need the same catalysts.
anyway, it's not like you have any better way of making zeny either. You could do the summoner and kill all the same mvps everyone else does bar SM/Valk etc and still not sell anything. You could go with a friend to hunt minivalks and make almost zero profit.
The point is, it SHOULD be worth it, when certs/immune shields came along, valk shields dropped to less than half the price and still take over a week to sell. Ever hunted a valk shield? It's REALLY annoying. Nobody will do it if they can OC more loot for more zeny faster, which technically, you can.
