Bulk Supply / Street Merchanting
Cook Me Plox,

I realize that you have two so-far unwritten sections on Bulk Supply and Street Merchanting, and I wanted to put forward some ideas for those two sections (that could/should also be incorporated into Bulk Flipping and Investing).

My main point is that trading on the forums is often a great way to get extra profit from bulk flipping and also investing. There's a relationship on the forums where bulk flippers often sell their wares to investors looking for huge quantities for a higher street value than the market. So, as a bulk flipper, you can sell on the forums for extra profit -- or as an investor looking for huge quantities, you should be buying from the forums to get the largest quantity possible (if the speculated profit outweighs the extra costs of forum trading).

Of course there's also lots of information that can be added just on how to trade on the forums properly, how to select a street price, conventions to follow (like not buying and selling the same item at the same time, which will scare away traders).

Anyways, I'm just interested in helping out. I'll be revising the Advanced Trading Guide in the meantime, let me know!
