Trading Guide

Playing ESO is fun, but sometimes you ask yourself – where I can get so much gold to buy those noble houses, like Daggerfall Overlook or Serenity Falls Estate? Trading can be one of answers to this.

If you want start to trade, then, at first, better to install these addons ( you can read at Addons Guide how to install better):

• Master Merchant – must have addon for a trader, because it shows statistics of sales, price change chart, and average price of items. If your guild isn’t very active, prices of that addon can be wrong, because its shows only your guilds, sometimes better to ask for price at guild chat;
• Tamriel Trade Center – shows prices at server, also it can scan guild trader listings to place listed items at https://eu.tamrieltradecentre.com/ site. Scan helps a lot if guild trader is not at Major City;
• AwesomeGuildStore – great add-on for searching in guild stores, helps a lot if you want make gold by reselling things.

Now addons installed and we can try start to trade but at first, we need to know some basic things:

Guildstores:

• Any guild with more than 50 members has a guildstore;
• You can access to guildstore from any banker at any city, but not from moneylender ;

• 

• 

• You can list up to 30 items in each guildstore, so if you have 2 guilds, you can list 60 items etc;
• Each guild can have a guild trader, who sells items outside guild and this is most useful, when you need to make money;
• When you put an item for sale you pay 1% listing fee, which is refunded, when item sells, so try to keep some gold at your bag, while listing;
• If item not sold in 30 days or cancelled from listing 1% fee not refunded. Item returns to you by in game mail ;
• When an item is sold, 7% of the price is kept by the guildstore, half of this goes to guild bank as taxes, other 3,5% likely goes to nowhere, maybe for traders’ and bankers’ food, so keep this in mind, when you’re trying to resell items. By the way, when you COD items, more gold goes to nowhere, about 5%, postmen need more food: D

Trading

So, you look at info above and want start to trade, but don’t know, how to start, what to sell? We’ll try to answer this question.

You can sell mostly anything that you can take in Tamriel. Equipment, any materials, motifs, recipes, furnishing etc.

• Try to keep 30/30 listing for maximum profit. More items on sale = more chances that something will be sold;
• Try to sell things that cost more, than 100 gold, or sell bunch of them, if one piece costs less;

• 

• 

• Try to sell good items, ‘cause nobody wants Mace of mana sets or Lighting staff of a stamina set;
• Deconstuct bad items or bound items from dungeons, that you do not need, then sell resources from them, do not sell them to NPCs. Better, when you have Extraction passives at craft maxed for more chances to get good material from deconstruction;
• Ask for price in guild chat, if you don’t know how much this thing costs.
• Try to keep normal prices, not too high, not too low. If TTC suggest 350-450 and you’ll see 400 at MM, better to put item on sale for average price between TTC and MM price, not more, not less, always look at statistics, if prices go up, than put on sale for a bit more price, if they go down, than little less price.

• If you found some rare thing, that doesn’t have prices at TTC and MM, try to search for it at other server on TTC website.
