Selling, auctioning, and trading

There are many ways to get money, weapons, and the armor you desire. You can get them in quests, or as rewards, but there are other ways to get the equipment you need that are sometimes more expensive, but much quicker. If you haven't noticed yet, the vendors often will give you low prices for things you wish to sell, but sometimes (and this occurs most with the potion vendors in my opinion) they will make their products over the base value of the object, but your lucky if you get half the base value of an object! So they're making a killing! If you are pay to play, then you can buy stuff in the DDO store, but if your free to play like me, you have to find another way to get objects cheaper, and sometimes sell them for a higher price. This is where the auction house comes into play. The auction house is located on the map by the two red axes crossing each other. The products here can be overpriced, but you can find good prices on bids and auctions, and sometimes get expensive objects dirt cheap! You can also auction off things as well, there is a small posting fee, and the auction house takes a portion of your sale. The longer you post an auction, the bigger the posting fee. Free to play players can post one auction at a time, while pay to play players can post 50 items at a time. Trading can be difficult, and unless your in a party, and someone with you wants to trade with you, its difficult to do this. If you have no one to trade with, just type in your trade in the general chat box, and ask if someone is interested, if they are, you're going to want something they want, so you can trade, this strategy can be effective, but only if you have items that others would like, otherwise this wont work out so well.
