Hi guys I was wondering if buying stuff off ah then selling to npc is somethign that is a bannable offense.

wtf no?

RMT means Real Money Trade. Unless you buy items or gil with real money (£, $, etc) You're perfectly fine.

I think the better question is: why would you want to?

This is what I'm curious about to. What can you buy on the AH to make a profit off of by selling to an NPC? Since when people find out they'll jack up the price of said item.

You might be surprised at the number of people who don't bother checking prices on things like spell scrolls and union coffer drops. But it's often a lot of work for not that much profit margin.

If you're buying from a vendor to sell on the AH, sure. But he's talking about buying from the AH and selling to vendors. Unless Yigit has dropped so far below 10K, I honestly have no idea what would sell to a vendor to be worth anything. Unless he wants to dick with people on his server by removing items from circulation.

I'm also talking about buying from AH and selling to NPC. Like I said, you'd be surprised how many people don't look at NPC prices before plopping things on the AH. They just look at the recent history at the AH and set it to somewhere near that without any knowledge of the NPC price. Common drop spell scrolls could sometimes NPC for a thousand or more gil more than AH price because people kept undercutting each other trying to sell it fast. Gnole claws NPC for 530 gil, and the average AH price is about 500 or less gil. Fool's Gold Ore NPCs for 700 gil, and average AH price is 500 gil. I'm sure I could find more profitable things with a bit of research.

That's not even including the AH tax...

^ this, i done it before bought stuff off AH and npced it when I got some drop that npced more then AHing it. the only reason i dont do it is because it becomes too much time vs little reword in finding everything that can be a profit like that.

I do not think SEs RMT pwner seeks out for activity like that but be careful how much you trade items between mules.

I think the OP only asked this to see if he would be targeted by SEs dumb ways in finding RMT.
