Congrats!
I'm still working on overcoming the initial learning curve on which subsets of IOs to research to spot opportunities. I've been just crafting my drops, and *maybe* working a particular IO I run across when browsing where the rare salvage doesn't account for 75% of the crafted selling price.

One small bit of advice. Most of your drops are going to be teh suck, so crafted suck is merely more expensive to end buyers. Craft the things you *wish* you were getting as drops. If you are actually getting good stuff as regular drops, gratz and let me know how you do it!!!

Ooh, a sarcasm detector. Oh, that's a *real* useful invention. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolog...t-sarcasm.html
well, yeah, I only craft the *good* stuff. most of it gets vendored. 
The laziest kind of billion is the best kind.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
Top hat and monocle? Check.
Tea emote? Check.
2 billion? Check.
An almost-smug pointing out of how easy it was to get? Check.
This is a good post. 
I've known for a long time how the market works, and how to make money on it. I had just never bothered to actually make more than the few tens of millions I needed to outfit my few characters above 30 (altaholism FTW!
) with the cheap frankenslotting builds that were all I ever bothered with.
)!
A month or so ago, however, I decided that I wanted a slightly more expensive build for my up-and-coming traps defender, so I priced out a few posi sets, a basilisk's, and whatnot, and decided it would be fairly easy to make the couple hundred million I'd need to cover patient bids on everything.
Of course, it *was* easy. So much so that, after I made 200 million in a few days with almost no effort, I decided to see just how long I could keep it up while logging on only a single character twice a day. And so, after about a month of *very* lazy and low-key crafting and selling (and despite one week where I was looking for a new niche and *every single one* I tried collapsed and burned after I sold one or two enh), here I am:

It still boggles my mind that a) this is so amazingly easy (seriously, 10 minutes of work per day, tops), and b) people somehow think it's hard. Ah, well, all the more for me (and I certainly won't need to make any money now for a year or so!
