Why these numbers
GE tax
Each sale at 530 gp pays 10 gp in tax. That’s 34% of the 29 gp gap between the offers.
Bought at 501 gp, it has to sell for at least 511 gp to break even.
Quantity
The Market never puts more than 3M GP into one item, so one trade can’t tie up too much of your bank.
Chance
About 7 in 10 trades like this made money within 4 hours. We worked this out by checking about 30,000 past suggestions against what really happened next.
Track record
−0.5%average profit after tax, from 2 checks
This is how our past suggestions for this item really did. Every 2 hours we save the suggested flip, then check it against the trades that happened next. Newer checks count more.
Past results matter. In our research on flipping after the 2% tax, items whose record lost money or broke even made +0.3% on average the next time.
The Market still lists it, but Trader skips this item for now because its recent flips haven’t paid.
