FM or MTS which do you prefer?

I dont know if im one of many of a few but Ive totally pretty much ditched the fm and having a store anymore. Im just selling everything I can on mts.

Once I have a mule full of items that are non mtsable then I might get a store but as of now, stores are redundant for me.

What about you?

I'm MTSing more because I refuse to give Nexon my real money.

FM still holds some value for me.

I use MTS to find good deals on scrolls.

As an Islander, I've never even seen the FM
I use my Islander as an MTS Merchant - 5k is quite a lot of money on the Island and it gives me the will to train.

I use MTS to sell stuff that has a good meso:NX ratio (anything better than 1mil meso:500 NX) and FM for selling everything else and buying items.

FM because I can't sell anything on MTS for my life.. I end up buying NX with meso anyways with a good rate so it's all good. =p

I'm using MTS for interserver stuff (eg. Horntail drops where they're not really available on some servers) and general earning NX for stuff I don't want to pay $ for.

I'd use the FM if I was more into the game right now. Don't have a shop permit atm, will get one when I'm ready to train (and thus have stuff to sell) again.

In the year that I have played I have rarely ever used the FM and I have never used the MTS. I usually went to Basilmarket for buying because of the low prices. I also used Basilmarket for selling because I never could buy a shop that didn't require you to be there. Although, I rarely ever sold things anyway. I never got good drops.

The only time I ever used the FM was to give merchanting a shot, but I failed miserably. I made about 15mil in at least two or three weeks, which is horrible.

I dont know about everyone else, but I use MTS for storage. I have like 80 items in there (and I get that notice saying I can only see the first 50 xD)

wow i never thought of that >_> imma use it for that as well from now on

I used MTS before the taxes, it was such a good way to make NX. Im not too good with MTS now, with the taxes so I dont really use that. I market in FM now, pretty good way of making money.

I prefer MTS to the FM and would use it a lot more over FM if charging NX for MTS weren't such a pain...where I am in Canada the cash cards cost $30 for 25k NX whereas if I charge through paypal it's $30 for 30k NX.

I love being able to search for items and then being able to purchase an item immediately off that global list. For FM I use owls, and owls cost quite a bit of NX themselves. The search results you end up with are annoying to use anyway. Also, not having to stay logged in the game to sell my items as I would have to with a shop permit is another plus.

As someone else already mentioned, MTS is awesome for storage. I have often emptied slots in there while training when they fill up. Also a good place to keep excess potions for when you run out.

I usually just put the scrolls that I find in MTS, saves me some RL money. For big deals I still use the FM though.

Mmm. I like em both. Merching in the MTS is a pain for me, I really don't know how you guys do it. D:

I never use the MTS, but that's a really good idea.

MTS > FM almost any day, any time.

Selling on MTS means making NX means less real money you have to spend on NX means no real money being spent on NX!

FM is a hassle to go around searching and such.
It's easier to keep refreshing in MTS to find a lower than normal deal and resell.
Plus, the search function allows you to find anything you need (except blocked items) and at your prices .

FM is only good if a certain item will sell more in meso than it will in NX.
This usually refers to godly items, where 400kNX is "ZOMG TOO MUCH" in MTS.

I usually sell in FM and buy NX with the mesos. Easier and I still get as much or more NX because of Kradia's crazy inflation. I usually buy through MTS because it's much easier to find things, and again, it's usually a better deal when you compare the NX to meso ratio.

Plus I tend to underprice things in MTS out of impatience. Things take longer to sell. ;[

It takes me along time to get used to/actually use the most new features in MS <.< Both are such hard work though...I'd rather just buy nx. I'm lucky enough to have friends that will sell my stuff for me too :>[/COLOR]

I buy items from the MTS, and then about 50/50 on selling them. Depends on which I need more, Mesos or NX.
