I learned this in Iron Realms by selling wool beside the Silk Road route—my first good margin came from patience, not boldness.
Buy low where caravans linger—three silver saved is better than one raid won.
Pay for guards before trouble arrives—the price is smaller than replacing a full cart.
Keep coin aside for weather and delays—every road charges something.
You should bargain before the goods leave your hands—afterward, the merchant owns the advantage.
