Just for people to know. This works perfectly on console, and if you buy the item from the vendor it still works, at least on console. Since you have a sell button, you don't need the old graphics trick.
I tried this and couldn't get it to work at first. First off you have to be in Hell or Nightmare else you will loose money. The affix Hawkeye doesn't change the price at all. Some throwing weapon and bows you loose money.
Any idea if this item can be found in nm act 1 ? like its easier to find at lvl 45 as shop item ilvl is char +5 and areat summet says its an afex of ilvl 50.
didn't seem like Vendor Price increases or Reduction had any effect. I tested with and without the 50% bonus during the black friday 22 nights of terror, and with and witout Gheeds. there seem to be no change in value. I think the glitch might be exclusive from any kind of increase percentages.
It works on consoles, consoles has a sell directly from hand button. That's what you do, equip the item to your hand going to the shop select your weapon slot and there's a hold X button or hold y button to sell. That works, a couple other people in the comments have confirmed it as well
For people thinking this isn't working. You can't BUY the item from a vendor first, you must find an item. A purchased item is purchased at your character level. So the item won't scale up. An item found in an area that isn't terrorized and is lower level than you WILL scale up and be able to be sold for more.
Doesn't work on xbox series s, when I switch to legacy mode it doesn't switch on vendors. Just shows an x pop up on the icon when trying to switch to legacy on the vendor
I tried it on console it works a bit different but does work. When you highlight your weapon in the shop it does have a sell item button and that works.
@@GGMentor hmm I'm playing now, talking bout where it says hold x to sell? I've tried that too. No matter what item I sell it always charges more to rebuy it.
@@GGMentor ok I figured it out. Actually had an item with that Stat in my stash and figured it out. Not much but do make a solid 1k difference, but it does work. So that helps knowing that. Awesome, thank you.
Try to get an Exceptional level item with the grinding mod. like an Ancient axe, Stiletto, Naga Ect. You can shop them from act 4 hell halbu You can get up to a 26,000 gold profit ratio
hard part is finding that good item to sell, if it sells for max, then u will have to pay over max to get it back and if u buy from shop they seem to only be worth like 9k gold. seems better to just do cow run and sell stuff
i do exactly what you are saying but the value of the item dose not increase when i equip it and what is a scaling modifier is this hacks or something?item? if now one can help i dont think it works anymore
Scaling modifiers are things that go up with the level of your character. So the value changes as you level up. There are A lot of scaling modifiers within the game, fools mod, grinding mod ect. You have to have a scale by level modifier for this to work. And yes it still works
Do you think got fixed by Blizzard ? I did it so much today , and at some point the values were not lucrative anymore , I could only get less than I was buying it for.
Please pin this GGM, this trick works primarily with the Grinding/fool’s prefix. Switch users need to use a specific button to sell (Y I think?) Now a question I have is what’s the earliest I can find a weapon in a shop with this prefix?
aww.. just tested this in norm difficulty on a armor with +to life based on char lvl and a ammy with that same mod. It did not work at all. 0 gold difference. PS. Attack rating(based on character lvl) doesn't work ether.
good question, I am not sure... Checking.... Looks like no, on the nintendo switch version you can't swap to the old graphics mode while in the vendor window hmm. However you can hold Y to sell an item directly from your hand which means it could possibly work. Requires further testing.
idk 1 trav run is under 1 min, with gold pops of 40k. this seems like a waste of time, sure you can get some coin this way, but who really maxing out gold doing this.
@@Powermongur i think they might have patched it in season 7, i'm no longer able to sell "Grinding" weapons for a profit even when legacy graphics toggled
@@kushpaladin I'm playing S7 and it works. Some weapons don't work. Try a melee weapon, be in hell mode on a lvl 50+ char. And you have to sell while holding not in inv.
I found grinding ancient axe which sells for 36k and only at charsi I buy it for 13k, so that's 23k profit for sale. other merchants will sell it at 16k. I'm only lvl 77.
I bet a person can find a Exceptional Item of it and start with a fairly low lvl char. I only think of this as I play hc and I move like a slug >_< My 84 got a grinding executioner sword with gheed's 10% and it cost 18k and sells for 35k. It took forever. 2-3 hours. My 65 '' cost 9k and sels for 35k. :) PS. odd boath cost the same in act 1 vs the lvl 85's act 5 cost 18k
I've tried this several times in D2:LOD. Does not work. It lists the item as a higher price when in weapon slot. But, even using the sell button, even while the item is in weapons slot, even though it lists at a higher price, the actual amount given for the sell is the lower price.
Just out of curiosity why wouldn't it? you can sell the item directly out of your hand in Switch. I haven't tested it yet but it should work in theory All you gotta to is equip the item and holy Y on nintendo switch to sell it directly from your hand. Several people confirmed it does work on nintendo switch and xbox.
@GGMentor well. Egg on my face 🤦♂️ during the gambling period, I just sold pgems and bought them back. I was too busy complaining to consider just holding Y on the on hand weapon. Lol. My bad ❤️
@@GGMentor yeah it’s super easy on the controller but I hit the right button twice and accidentally sold too quick, charsi was full of armor items too so it was gone for good instantly
Appreciate the shoutout, man. Love this trick! My goldfind barb collectin' dust
This doesn't work anymore I have tried and I don't gain any money I lose
@@killerj6925 It still works - you have to wear the item and sell it in the classic view via button.

still works on online mode as of 06/25/2024... thanks a lot... now i actually have gold to revive my merc hahaha
The gheeds reduces the repurchase cost not increases sales,
the hawkeye prefix also provides attack rating based on character level but isn't profitable afaik.
small table i've been making up searching :
Grinding ancient sword : 24,936 profit (14% gheed lvl 87, 35k sale)
Fools rune bow : 20,920 profit (14% gheed, charsi, lvl 87, 34,816 sale)
Fool's Naga : 20,477 profit (13% gheed, lvl 96, 32,498 sale)
Grinding great maul of might: 15,791 profit (13% gheed, lvl 96, 21,611 sale)
Grinding short war bow : 12,398 profit (13% gheed, lvl 96, 16,467 sale)
Any idea if this item can be found in nm act 1 ? like its easier to find at lvl 45 as shop item ilvl is char +5 and areat summet says its an afex of ilvl 50.
I suggest you buy/sell items to Fara in act 2, where you have the extra 10% price reduction for doing Radament's quest.

Charsi is the lowest
@@李屠户 gheeds also does effect the value you repurchase the item at. edge bow does too but that seems tedious to use switching weapons every sale.
Where do I find these weapons? I’m currently in act 2 and didn’t find any yet
does not work on consoles when switching to old mode. the shop stays in new mode

I've tried both ways and cannot seem to get it to work, am I doing something wrong?
You can buy it from vendor and it works fine.
@kofistalker Are you lvl 55+ and in hell?
@kofistalker the grinding mod is level 50
It would be a fast way to revive merc
Amazing 🤩
I might investigate this later but could this effect be duplicated just by pressing control left click 🤔 instead of the sell feature in classic
no it won't sell the item at all with the hotkey if you have it equipped
How would this interact with the corrupted save file / gold value overflow bug?
Doesn't work on xbox series s, when I switch to legacy mode it doesn't switch on vendors. Just shows an x pop up on the icon when trying to switch to legacy on the vendor

@@GGMentor hmm I'm playing now, talking bout where it says hold x to sell? I've tried that too. No matter what item I sell it always charges more to rebuy it.
Wait when you say the scale by lvl, are you talking about the extra stats in blue, not the required lvl to use?
@@GGMentor ok I figured it out. Actually had an item with that Stat in my stash and figured it out. Not much but do make a solid 1k difference, but it does work. So that helps knowing that. Awesome, thank you.

You can just shop items from act 4 hell.
My findings is the Ancient Axe with Grinding mod gave me 21k back per sale.

the "grinding" glitch still works, 12/23/23
Feb/13/2024 Offline. Not working. :(
Please pin this GGM, this trick works primarily with the Grinding/fool’s prefix.
Switch users need to use a specific button to sell (Y I think?)
Now a question I have is what’s the earliest I can find a weapon in a shop with this prefix?
You know to be honest I don't know, I usually shop them in act four hell.
You can also Gamble them from the shop
aww.. just tested this in norm difficulty on a armor with +to life based on char lvl and a ammy with that same mod. It did not work at all. 0 gold difference.
PS. Attack rating(based on character lvl) doesn't work ether.
You have to sell in Hell or Nightmare and you loose money on some throwing weapons and bows.
Can be done in norm?
Can this be done on console?
good question, I am not sure... Checking....
Looks like no, on the nintendo switch version you can't swap to the old graphics mode while in the vendor window hmm.
However you can hold Y to sell an item directly from your hand which means it could possibly work. Requires further testing.
Yes it works just tried on xbox
@GGMentor yes on Xbox you just hold x
While it’s in the equipped weapon slot?
It works on nintendo i just finish testing it
is it still works i cant find any player stats scaled items
yes
I like Golllllllldddddd !
Thanks homie

we used to dupe SoJ, now they be dupin Gold, its like diablo 1 all over again :P :P :P good old daysss
This doesnt seem to work anymore
It does it has to be a low level grinder then sell it on a high level character. Only some items work even if it is a grinder
Any one know if this is patched ?
This is not patched
