Hiring Guild Traders

Hello. My guild is just starting out and we're looking to hire a guild trader. I was wondering where should we start(until we get more money) bidding on our first guild trader. We currently have about 200k to play with. My guild is on NA PC. Any help is appreciated!

200k won't buy you a trader in any of the cities or more traveled areas. Find one that is out in the boonies, the prices there are *much* lower.

However, don't expect to make money for your guild with a trader that is out of the way. The tax income will be a tiny trickle. The only way to operate out there is to look at it as a service to your guild mates. Someone will have to fund the weekly trader, either you as the guild master or your guild mates through donations etc.

Appreciate it. Any idea how much i'll need to bid on some okay traders in cities? Atm, we're doing weekly guild raffles to help fund it, then i'm earning the remainder until we have more members.

500k up to several million, depending on the city ...

Ah.. looks like i got my work cut out for me. Since we aren't even at the 200 member range yet, i do not believe having one in the city is worth it. I'll stick to the boonies until then. Gotta have one, most wont stay unless you do.
