Use Bazaar Flips sorted by Volume ⇩ for beginners, Advanced Users should analyze spread %, buy/sell wall liquidity, and margin stability. For 1st 100 flips, pick items with 10k+ units/day volume + 3–8% spread. Avoid single-wall monopolies (risky) and volatile items (10%+ swings in 24h).
Profile: 20k+ units/day, 2–5% margin
Examples: Enchanted Sugar Cane, Wheat, Bone, Cocoa Beans
Profile: 5k–15k units/day, 5–12% margin
Examples: Revenant Flesh, Tarantula Web, Enchanted Book combos
Profile: <2k units/day, 15–50% margin
Examples: Meta pets, rare enchanted gear, niche Craft recipes
Definition: How many units of this item trade daily on Bazaar.
How to use:
10k+ units/day = ultra-safe, liquid, best for beginners
5k–10k = safe, good for intermediate
2k–5k = medium risk, medium margins
<2k = high risk, very high margins (AH-tier liquidity risk)
Rule: Never flip items below 1k units/day unless you specialize in that niche.
Definition: Gap between highest buy order and lowest sell offer.
Example: Buy wall @ 1,000 coins, Sell wall @ 1,100 coins = 100 coin spread = 10% spread.
How to use:
<3% spread = tight market, hard to profit (used by bots, highly efficient)
3–8% spread = beginner sweet spot, 2–5% net margin after fees
8–15% spread = profitable opportunities, watch for market shifts
>15% spread = red flag (potential manipulation, low volume)
Rule: Target 5–10% spread as beginner. Avoid <2% (fees eat all profit) and >15% (likely unstable).
Definition: (Instant-sell price - Instant-buy price) / Instant-buy price × 100
Example: Buy @ 1,000, Sell @ 1,100 = 10% margin (gross). After 1.25% fee = ~8.75% net margin.
How to use: Target 3–8% for high-volume, 10–20% for medium-volume, 20%+ for low-volume.
Definition: How many units are available at the current buy wall and sell wall.
Why it matters: High walls = stable prices. Low walls = prone to sudden shifts.
Example:
Buy wall: 50k units @ 1,000 coins (strong, stable)
Sell wall: 5k units @ 1,100 coins (weak, could jump if someone buys it all)
Red flag: Single seller with <1% of daily volume at sell wall (risk of price spike if they leave).
Why: High volume = safe for beginners
Start here for first 10 flips
Why: 3–10% is the "goldilocks zone" for Bazaar
Skip <2% (low profit) and >15% (high risk)
Why: Items that swing 20%+ in 24h are often event-driven or manipulated
Avoid unless you understand the catalyst (mayor perk, balance patch)
Red flag: One seller controls 80%+ of sell wall with low daily volume.
Why: Price can crash 20%+ if monopolist leaves. Too risky.
Example: A niche crafted item with 1k units/day, 1 seller at 50k price = avoid.
Red flag: 30%+ change in 24h
Why: Often driven by speculation, mayor perks, or patches. Wait for stabilization.
Tool: Use Top Movers to spot these (avoid anything in top 10 most volatile).
Red flag: Buy wall price drops 5%+ in an hour
Why: Market is weakening. If you buy, you'll overpay and hold losses.
Fix: Wait for stabilization (check 1h later). Flip only after recovery.
Pick items under 10k unit price (e.g., Sugar Cane @ 800–1,200 coins each). You'll buy ~80–125 units per flip. Volume > margin at your capital level.
Diversify at first: Flip 3–5 items to learn market patterns and reduce risk. Once comfortable, you can specialize in 1–2 high-volume items.
Weekly review: Check if an item is losing money (bought high, sold low) 2+ times. If so, replace with higher-volume item. Winners: keep flipping.
Not recommended for beginners. Risk of holding losses is too high. Build capital on 10k+ volume items first, graduate to niche once you have 20M+.
