Money Question

Okay, first of all I would like to point out I know how the trick works I just think there's something wrong with my Fable. Also, my character is maxed out in everything so there is no possible way my Guile is to low. Now lets get to it, when I do the money trick, buy all the diamonds in Bowerstone North then sell them all back, when I buy them it's green indecating that it will make me a profit yet when I sell them back it's red saying I'm losing most my money. I have reloaded and retried many times but I still continue to lose money. Can anybody help me?

Re: Money Question

Need to try and make profit on something else maybe...
 
Re: Money Question

I own all the towns but I hate sleeping three days then going to every town and collecting money. Really money isn't the problem, I just wanna execute it right for future characters.
 
Re: Money Question

Thanks for the link, but I already knew all those. Well, gusse I'll just have to buy all the towns for my new character.
 
Re: Money Question

well the bowerstone north diamonds never doesnt work fr me are uusing xbox or pc?
 
Re: Money Question

go to Hook Coast, step in the item shop... buy the 41 Sapphires... sell them back for 225 profit per sapphire... that is 9,225g just for buying and selling back... (i am using xbox as well)
 
Re: Money Question

I just spent about an hour on the Xbox using the diamond trick and it worked fine. Mind you, I use that exploit everywhere I can - have you tried stealing all the stock too? That can sometimes help redress the balance...
 
Re: Money Question

Use the Emeralds in oakvale that one never failed me
 
Re: Money Question

Well, I tried everywhere but Hook Coast and it seems to fail. Maybe there is something wrong with my Xbox.

Re: Money Question

Well, I tried just about everything and somethings missing. Maybe it's the cream filling. Oh well, on to try the best way of earning money......EvIL! Muahahahahaha!
 
Re: Money Question

yeah, well i had a problem in the arena on my other character... the trader wouldn't sell me anything... he was scared of me and always ran away when i got close... his auora wasn't green either, so i guess he didn't wanna sell... but i ended up going in with whatever potions i had left and made do... im using xbox also... but i highly doubt xbox is to blame...

That's happened to me ONCE before. I just stole all the stuff. :)
But usually he's standing on the OUTSIDE of his stand when I enter the arena.
 
Re: Money Question

Check List:
Are you selecting the Buy All option when purchasing the items?
Are the item prices highlighted in green when you purchase them?
Are you selling them almost instantly after buying them?
Are you selling them to the same shopkeeper?

To those who use this trick, its interesting to note that sometimes you can make even bigger profits by going to different shopkeepers depending on which items you are buying. Sometimes the 'Wanted Item' list can make you better profits from cheaper easier to procure items.

Edit: Incidentally, I also have the same kind of problem buying health potions in the guild when I first start the game so perhaps it may have something to do with the amount of items that are in stock.
 
Re: Money Question

^Going to differen't shopkeepers.

One of them (I think in twinblades camp) even SAYS that "You can make quite a profit by....between shopkeepers..so I've heard"...

I never do that trick though.
I have enough money anyway. :)

Its more for the benefit of those who havent been able to get the exploit to work really.

I know there is some character in the game who says about making money by trading between shop keepers, in fact I think it could be in the exp spending area... maybe...
 
Re: Money Question

Just putting in my two cents.
