How to buy 'limited' items

The question when buying new limited items after everyone has bought them and put them on sale is, is it worth it?

It can be frustrating when you buy a Limited item for lets say R$1000 then the price drops down to maybe R$800. 

However, it can be immensely rewarding when you get an item at a low price and sell it for much more! 

So, how do you know when an item is buyable or not? 

Well, there are a few things to look out for. 

1. How quickly did it sell out- If an item sells out very quickly this is a sure sign that the item is popular and the price is going to rise. Get the item asap at this point and try to get the lowest price you can for it. Then wait a few hours/ days until the price has escalated. It is important to be patient and not to resell the item as soon as you get it. 

2. The original selling price- If the original selling price was high the item is probably good looking and people are going to want it. This will indicate if the price is going to go up or down. 

3. Use your own personal judgement- Be curious! Take a look at the item, see if it's selling well and the price is going up or down. 

4. Price fluctuations- If an item is low at the moment but has been high in the past, BUY IT! Items prices fluctuate up and down all the time, buy the item on a low spike to make a profit on the high spike!

This has been a very, very basic summary of things you need to be aware of when buying limited items. 

I hope it helps you to buy limiteds in the future.
