I tried to look for an updated guide on playing the market / vending / exchanging. I didn't see one.
Some people spend their time sniping the marketplace for miss-prices. You know, if someone accidentally sells a 2b item for 200m... profit! ...It's pretty hard to do because those snipers are fast... and have been doing it for a long time. x .x;;
And... knowing what to buy will take time. Spend time paying attention to the type of items people like. Some items go through a predictable drop. Like, for instance, a Chance Item (CI) might drop in price a few days after its release (because less people are paying attention to it) and will usually spike in price right after they're removed from the Cash Shop. Evolving Items (EIs) / Rapid Evolving Items (REIs) tend to evolve on Fridays. They'll often spike in price on Fridays. However, it can be a gamble because the price can also drop if it gets poses that most people don't like. Another thing to watch for are deflation RIGs (deflation CIs). For example, there's one right now. Depending on how long this CI is available for, those items will continue to devalue in the marketplace. And, since a lot of those items are quite popular, they'll spike in price again once the RIG is gone.
I.. don't play the market. I should, but I don't. So... that's the extent of my knowledge. I know the theory, but I can't pinpoint specifics. You might want to poke around the guilds and see if there are any active vending guilds. There used to be guilds dedicated to helping users learn how to vend and play the marketplace. (A lot of them also grouped together to AI (artificially inflate) item prices in the mp :/ so... boo to that. Avoid doing that.)
Unfortunately, as you said, it takes gold to make gold. Some other suggestions that haven't been said yet are:
Dumpster Dive. Click the button once every 5 minutes to get a random item. The items in the dumpster are donated by other users so the value can range from cheap to expensive (if lucky!). Sell them in the marketplace (or keep).
Earn free Gaia cash by watching videos, taking surveys or doing the free offers. It's a slow process, but the cash does add up. Soon, you'll have 99gc to buy and sell an item. (Be sure to check for which ones are selling for the most.) Or, continue to save up cash. The more the item costs, the more the cash to gold ratio usually is...
Edit; If you're curious and have some extra time, here's a thread where people post how they earn their gold. You might pick up some ideas. Just note, if someone mentions that the prize for raising certain kin to level 6 on lake kindred is 20b.... that's no longer true. It's been drastically nerfed.
