Always Check The Market to sell items to get more  mesos
This is the second rule you should follow to help you save maple story mesos when buying or selling. This rule is fairly simple as well. When purchasing items from the free market and you see something that you like, DON'T buy it on the spot this will make you waste mesos. Check through the other shops in the market and see if they have the same thing for a CHEAP MESOS Once, a found a stall selling the same item as the shop next to it nearly five times cheaper. And you shouldn't just go to the stalls in the same map. Search every stall in the entire market. You should still find another of the item you saw. If it is more expensive, then you know either that what you saw before was a good deal or that this is person was just an idiot by selling the item so cheaply mesos. If you didn't find anything else at all like it, then you can consider buying it.

Generally, it is better to buy items by going to Channel 1 Free Market and speaking to the jostling crowd than going into the stalls. This is because stalls generally sell items at a higher mesos, and there is no way you can bargain down the mesos when buying in stalls. When you can, you should always make offers to bring the mesos down. Even if it is only by 10,000 mesos. 10,000 Mesos is alot to the lower-levelled (levels 1-20) characters, and by saving 10,000 mesos every transaction, it will eventually stack up and you'll find yourself with a lot more mesos than if you'd not bargained down the price.

Keep A Space In Your Inventory
Again, this rule is self explanatory. If you're fighting a monster, and a drops a rare item after it dies, you'll want it. Whether to sell or use for your own purposes, you'll want it. But it won't be yours until it is in your inventory. And it can't be in your inventory unless there is a space for it. Even in the case of Etc. items. There isn't much space in your inventory, and there are plenty of Etc items begging for a space, so you should always keep a free space in there for the odd ore or other item you find. If this a weapon or armour, it is even more vital. Equips DO NOT stack, and so you need free space for all new pieces of equipments.

An especially frustrating scenario is when you are trying to free a space in your inventory, and someone else comes along. By the time a space is free, the ten-second limit is up and the other player has walked away with your item.

This often happens in crowded areas, but even in non-crowded spots, you should be careful. Someone may still chance on you. By now, you're probably tired from reading rules that don't actually help you make any money, but don't worry. Here they are.

Making Cheap Mesos
Below are small tips and tricks to help you earn, or save more Mesos. Do not look down on them, even if the method seems to give you few  cheap mesos, things add up, and you'll soon realize you have more mesos than most others.

Kill Monsters to get cheap mesos
Of all the methods there are to help you make mesos, this is the simplest. The simplest, the easiest, the most obvious. You have probably already killed a monster and picked up it's drops. This is what this method uses - monsters. Monsters, you and a weapon. This is very easy to do. Equip the weapon, walk up to the monster, press the button you assigned to "attack". Keep pressing until the monster is dead. Well, maybe not quite as simple as that if you don't want to get hurt or you want to use skills, but that's the basis. Just kill monsters for cheap mesos.

The best side effect of using this method is that you earn EXP in the process, too. Of course, some may be bored by this, as it is repetitive work, and in the case of the Bowman and Thief, may be less productive in the way of cheap mesos due to the cost of training.

However, Monsters sometimes also drop equipments which can be sold off at the Free Market or to individual players, although it is a rare occurance. If you wish to gain many cheap mesos by using this method, train on monsters that drop valuable items. For example, some train on Red Drakes so you can sell Steelies that you might get. Just remember that you will need to factor in the cost of training, so pick your monsters wisely! That just about covers this entire strategy. Onto the next one:

Faming cheap mesos
Fame. Most will find that this is very popular with high-levelled characters to get maple story cheap mesos, who wish to be at the top of the Fame rankings on the MapleStory website. Some want fame so much that they will even go as far as to buy cheap mesos. And that is where this method comes in. Fame can be bought, and it can also be sold. Usually, people buy fame for around 100,000 cheap mesos. Sometimes, they will go so far as to buy it for 1,000,000 cheap Mesos.

But the rules of selling fame are a little different from buying fame. When selling, you want customers. And not many customers can pay 100,000 cheap Mesos for fame they weren't even thinking of getting before you said you were selling it. So lower the price. But not so low as, say, 1000 cheap mesos. A good price to set the fame at is 10,000 cheap mesos (depending on world that you are playing in).

This method does comes with downsides. You will have to be on the look out for scammers. There is no safe way to trade fame between characters, or to trade fame with cheap mesos. Thus when selling/buying fame there has to be trust between both parties, because after recieving the fame/cheap mesos the other character can simply logoff and run away with the fame/cheap mesos. You may only sell fame once a day, so the income you generate from this method is, in a sense, capped.

Trading cheap mesos
The Free Market is a great place to make cheap mesos in. What I said earlier about checking the Free Market applies double here. What you have to do is find the cheapest rare item or equipment you can afford and buy it. Then sell it to another person for a higher maple story cheap mesos. If you do it right, you can get double the amount mesos you paid for, or sometimes even more mesos. Don't try selling it back on the Free Market. With so many people there, it's unlikely anyone will notice you. Even in one of the areas, there will be enough stalls to prevent people from seeing you. Go outside or change channels. With some luck, and enough advertising, you'll get a customer to buy what you've got. The best items to try this with is equipments, since nobody can know where you got it (and trace it back to the free market, where there still might be multiple copies of that cheap equip).

While new players generally do not have a lot of cheap mesos, some still come with a reasonable amount cheap mesos and it is idea to sell them rare items, as there is a good chance they will not know the item's average worth.

Patience and time are required to gain significant cheap mesos. Do not give up. Even if the price seems low enough, always look for people selling it cheaper. Visiting forums will give you a good gauge on the value of an item, as well as the Basil Market website. Buy low sell high is the key to success here to get more cheap mesos.

MapleStory Anniversary events are also to be taken advantage of, as Maple Equips are worth hundreds of thousands of cheap mesos on the Free Market, even if merely Maple Flags. So never underestimate the worth of event items. The simple reason is this: supply stops, demand remains the same, therefore price rises.

The Henesys Hunting Grounds on Channel 1 are an excellent place to earn some lazy mesos. There are plenty of high-levelled grinders there who just kill the monsters and leave the drops (some of the higher-levelled people even leave the ores). While lower-levelled players occasionally pick up dropped equipment, the cheap mesos are the one thing usually left on the ground. You can just speed through and collect up the mesos left behind by players. Just be careful of Item Vacuum Hackers
