Flipping is the fastest way to make money on DonutSMP without leaving spawn. Players place buy orders with /orders and sell on the auction house with /ah, and the two prices are rarely the same. Buy from the order that is priced under the auction house, relist on /ah, and pocket the difference. It needs a little starting capital and no gear, so it works from day one. The terminal's Flips page ranks every tracked item, including enchanted variants, by margin and return on investment from the latest market snapshot, so you never have to guess which item is worth flipping.

How to do it

What you need

Some starting money
Access to /orders and /ah

Open the Flips page in the terminal to see which items have a gap between the highest buy order and the cheapest auction house listing.
Buy the item from a standing /orders listing, starting with liquid items that sell every day.
List it on /ah slightly under the cheapest current listing.
Never instant-sell into a buy order that is almost empty, the price collapses and your margin disappears.
