Using a trade portal to maximum effect is a very complex activity. While it's possible to simply compare item values, those values change over time, particularly when buying and selling is going on. There are also less measurable factors, such as portal level, fuel used, time spent, and the availability of items. As has been said about many things, what you get out of a trade portal depends on what you put into it. --[[User:McClaw|McClaw]] ([[User talk:McClaw|talk]]) 07:46, 3 April 2015 (MDT)

As the level of your trade portal increases, you have more opportunities to profit from that. It's typical for crafted items to sell for more than their components cost, so a little crafting can give you a big mark-up. (With a level 5 trade portal I like to buy three copper ore, make them into an ingot and that into wire, and sell the five wire. The ore costs about 20 copper coins total while the wire sells for almost 50 ''platinum'' total.) --[[User:McClaw|McClaw]] ([[User talk:McClaw|talk]]) 12:42, 19 September 2015 (MDT)

If you have only 10 gold coins and a lvl. 6 trade portal and you need to buy some stuff, try turning the gold coins into a [[Gold Ingot|gold ingot]] and sell the gold ingot. You will get more money that way. And thats what I call "The Infinite Seller". I have 7 stacks of platinum coins because of it. :D --[[User:El Firéball|El Firéball]] ([[User talk:El Firéball|talk]]) 04:35, 20 September 2015 (MDT)El Firéball
