Also make sure you are selling them at market price, we all want to make some money but if you are charging more than what people are used to paying....

Insect balls are the bait for moat carp, considering moatc arp is sellign well in most AH's (on mys erver especially 10-13k a stack) people like to fish for them alot (me included) Insect balls sell for 1.5k a stack on my server, but they go real fast whichever AH you sell them in.

You might want to Set up your mule by Windy AH over night? I tired it once didn't sell any for a while then someone took them all in one go, so might be worth a shot!

also why dont you go to the spot where fishing for moats is popular, an bazaar right there. players will by from you for the sure convenience.

No anglers (or bots, for that matter) in Rabao on Pandemonium. Just crickets.
But I still see people fishing in Sandy and Windy.
Make sure your prices aren't too high for the Insect Paste wherever you put them up for sale. And if you Bazaar them, wear a Fisherman's Tunic, if you have one, to indicate you have fishing related goods for sale. Then park yourself near the Fishing Guild or wherever you see people fishing for Moat Carp (I agree with little ninja that players like convenience.). Remember that the price for Bazaar'd items is *per item* not per stack.
Also, I've heard using a "cute" (female or Taru) mule works better... >.> | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 05-14-2006, 05:36 PM | #10 (permalink) | | Veteran Member Join Date: Jul 2004 Posts: 1,864 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood: Thanks: 5 Thanked 28x in 22 Posts Gil: 18,670 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 18,670 Donate | Re: Selling Insect Balls? actually althea desert has great moat fishing if you know what oasis to fish at. an the fastest place to unload an buy supplies is to go back to rabao.

Personally, when I was skilling off of these, I bazaared them in Bomingo Round, Windurst Woods. On Carbuncle, there's always at least 4-5 fishermen at the Hippy Tree pulling up moat carp.
So I'd say AH 7 in Windy and then bazaar either there, or next to the fishing guild.
Or fish with your own bait. Can't go wrong there. ^^ | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | All times are GMT -8.
