Hello people.
I've been playing SK for a long time, since 2013. In that timeframe, I have tried again and again to get into the merching community, but never with success as I either get one of two rare items, sell them or equip them, and either end up with no money, or over a Mil in crowns that I just do not know what to do with, usually with the money going into rolling on Punch. I do have some items that I would love to have in the long run, and being able to get them purely from merching has always been a goal in the back of my head. Typically, I make money buying and selling orbs on the AH, but that is pretty much all that I have done. In and of itself it is a pretty nice money-maker, making maybe 200k+ a month for little effort. But, I would like to build off of that and get into something new, something that can allow the process of making money to be more "automated." As I am going to college this year, I am not certain if I will have a lot of time to play the game, so this would make my life infinitely easier once I understand the merching process.
It is not that I am bad at watching the market and understanding prices, but using money past 500k that I have built up and turning it into, say, 2 mil, and so on and so forth by buying and flipping accessories has always been the point that I never get past. At this point I really do not like buying energy or promo boxes that typically get me nowhere, and in general I have always wanted to be able to make money in game rahter than spend money. I believe that I know how to read the AH pretty well, but just need a helping hand to boost that from being able to read it to being able to apply that and get the right accessories and such.
I guess what I am really trying to say is that I could use other people's help/coaching in terms of helping me to solidify money to spend and when and how to use it such that I don't lose money in the meantime. I definitely understand that it takes time to see how merching works and that it heavily relies on trial and error and experience, but if someone wants to take the time out of their day to help me for a little while,I hope that that can help me to move along a smoother path to becoming a solid merchant in the game that people can rely on.
If you do want to help, then please reach out to me. I would immensely appreciate it. Cheers.

In case people want to know, I am not trying to sound super greedy or anything. I am mainly looking for advice on merching to get me going such that over time I can afford to get myself a nice costume set with some money left over to kick-start this as something that I can actively do in my spare time in college. This post is just worded a little bit oddly, as it was hard for me to express what I really mean.
