I hate you! I've used the above technique for over a year and it's like printing money. Now everyone's going to think they can do it :)

What I typically do is mill about 500 cards in two sessions of milling/inking/card creation and send them to my banking toon who then sells a few stacks of cards and a few stacks of fortune cookies (cover both markets at once) with almost no competition. Once I burn through those 500 I go and make another set. Sometimes they sell so fast I get saddened knowing I'll be doing another 1-hour milling session.

I use TradeSkillMaster to buy all herbs under 6.5g and sell the cards for 11g-17g, so the profit is at least 5g PER card. Since cookies usually sell in stacks of 5 and 20, that's 25g per sale minimum in profit (minus the cost of a resilient parchment).

I use this as filler on my normal JC profits. But, since I'm already gold capped, I just keep doing it because it's too darn easy not to.
