The flip, step by step

1. Place a buy offer at or just above 61 gp (the current instant-sell price).
2. Wait for the fill. Needle is very liquid right now, so offers usually fill within minutes to a quarter hour.
3. Re-list at or just below 100 gp (the current instant-buy price).
4. The GE takes 2 gp tax (2%) per item when it sells, leaving 37 gp profit each.
5. Repeat up to the buy limit (40 per 4 hours), a full cycle is 1,480 gp on 2,440 gp of capital.
