Here's what I used to do, and I now have 250M + cash from this:
It's pretty simple really, just experiment with items. I used armour and weapons more than anything else. Just pay attention to the graphs, and try to buy an item for low, and sell for mid. If it's going up, try buying for mid, and selling for max.
You'll get used to the idea. Don't be discouraged if you don't sell something you just bought from the GE. You have to wait at least 4 hours before you can sell something you just bought.
You'll get used to it and become rich in no time.

That's exactly what I do. If the item is staying at a relatively stable price, then buy for 2.5 to 1% below mid, and sell for the same margin above mid. You can max a 5% ROI [return on investment] this way, which hits 1M at 20M invested. Not bad, considering the money would just sit around otherwise, huh?
Current Project: Catching up. XD. Potentially back for the summer, depending on how things go.
