The Guide for Maple MapleStory Trading System

It costs 5k to add an item to the MTS system. After it is put up, people will be able to see it, search for it, and bid on it. You can end the listing anytime you like. If you sell something, you will be taxed a bit of NX from the sale price. You can also sell your items by looking at the "Buying" listings.

They usually have an item with the amount of NX they are willing to pay. If you have the same item and are willing to sell for the price listed, click on the listing. The item is placed on the for-sale category for the buyer to decide when they sign on. Remember that the MTS is cross-server. That means the prices are not restricted to your world only.

 
If you are starting off with little or no NX, the first step is to obtain NX. Use mesos to buy easy-to-sell things that everyone needs. Throwing stars can not be sold through the MTS, but things like Work Gloves can. The goal here is to convert as much of your mesos into NX at the best ratio possible. Cheaper things often have a better meso-to-NX ratio, sometimes even reaching 2mil mesos per 1k NX.

However, there are two things to consider: you need to sell a lot of those cheaper items in order to get a decent amount of NX, and you also get charged a basic tax that is not percentage-based. We believe it is currently 100 NX + 10% of selling price, so it makes selling things worth 250k for 250 NX kind of pointless. The best alternative is to sell mid-range items clean 1-2 attack PACs, 8-11 attk WGs, and so on. These go for a decent ratio about 2mil-2.5mil mesos per 1k NX but it gets you into the MTS business quickly.
