I tried this last night- buying the resource for which I was tasked to gather from a Broker- and it does work. If the resource can be bought cheaply enough, yes it is very easy money and very quick money.
Which leads me to pose a question: is it an exploit?
I can't believe that SoE intended this to be in their game if you consider how otherwise difficult they've made earning coin.
Not an exploit.
Playes only make a profit here if they are able to buy the stuff for very cheap prices. Sometimes the only supply available sells for more than 2sp, so thats not profitable. In fact you lose money.
In order to make some profit, you have to buy the item for less than 80cp.
12sp = 1200cp
1200cp/15 pieces = 80cp cost for each item to break even.
So considering that the purchase price is volatile, I doubt that this is considered an exploit.
However, if there is an NPC that sells an item for a fixed price and you can go back and sell him the same item for a higher amount, then that I believe is a bug that can be exploited.
Also, I would like to add that you have to receive the specific item AFTER you get the supply quest. It wont work if you stockpile all items beforehand and then get a quest. The items you already have will not count.
