But it's not all good. My plan to corner the market in copper ore/bars by buying all that was available and jacking up the price taught me the definition of Epic Fail.
I tried this back in the day for copper also. The thing is, you can be profitable on copper, as long as people stopped thinking about it and you're pretty much the main supplier. But once you start buying their auctions, to repost on your auctions, you create an artificial demand, and you're suddenly stuck with a lot of copper from them and your own supply, as they flood the market with their supply also.
So you can try another item but copper is quite common, so it usually experiences this kind of up and down.
