How do I become a legendary merchant?

Buy that which has no price and sell it for something that is priceless.

>sell it for something that is priceless.
Scrub merchant right there, sell it for several somethings that are priceless, specific number of such items is, negotiable.

Hence to make good sales in all your merchantry is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in attaining wealth without selling anything.

Ignore all these nonsense answers. The right answer is that a master merchant is also a master spy. He will have contacts everywhere, maintain an information network to keep him informed about current events in all the markets he serves, have employees, have sufficient funds available to bribe and influence anyone he needs to, and will not be above undermining rivals to secure a market.

If he were doing most of that for a state, he'd be a spy. But since he's doing it for himself, we call him a businessman.

1. Buy a 10-foot ladder.
2. Cut it into two 10-foot poles.
3. Sell the poles for more than the ladder cost.
4. Repeat until you own the world.

Sounds like a Mastermind Rogue to me

>How do I become a legendary merchant?

Hallucinate in a cave, start a cult, then found an empire on it.

kinda the same thing really

merchant is just more legitimate

Nail on the head. If you want to be a master merchant, you have to be able to see the profit in everything you do.

Exploit unfortunate adventurers.
Overcharge 11.5% exactly.

invest in camel care supplies.

It only sounds that way because you're being shown the whole picture.

We had a player base her character around the idea, kind of a merchant explorer and entrepreneur. Because our adventuring party went around so much, she was able to bring valuable and exotic goods to and fro by bringing caravans with us, and even chart and find locales of new goods. While we were spending our money on magic swords and stuff, she was funding the creation of a goods gathering and supply chain, and taking rewards from people we served in the form of contracts for trade routes.

Eventually she became the richest known person in the setting, and was notable for opening the first department store in your standard medieval fantasy world.

Do something legendary and also be a merchent?

Depends on the setting's economy

Kill elder dragons and sell their scales?

I could teach you, for a price of course.
>Oy vey!

A-B-C user, Always Be Closing. You're not going to that cave to fight a dragon, you're going there to make a prospect.

priceless = cant sell it = worthless

Buy the soul of the Devil and then sell it back to him with a premium.

>making a deal with a dragon
I bet you don't even conserve ammo.

Couple ways though two cone to mind.
>play a Bard with good orator skills, ALS put allot of point into apraise and diplomacy.
The "have you tried not playing D&D" edition of the answer is pretty simple too.
>have good charisma and make sure you are both smart and strong willed to get a good deal.

And I bet you didn't come home from work on a wagon stacked fifteen feet high with gold and jewels, you fucking worthless piece of shit.

You think this is abuse, you cocksucker? You can't take this, how can you take the abuse you get in the dungeon?! You don't like it - leave. I can go out there tonight with the materials you got, make myself fifteen thousand gold! Tonight! In two hours!

Become a Legendary Adventurer and sell your loot at reasonable prices.
