This strategy maximizes MXP and reputation, while avoiding haggling and tries to obtain the Pin bonus for all transactions.

The best place to try for Pin Bonuses does not depend on the character, and is as follows:

Pin Bonus Average Location
Operation Normal High Low Crash
Sell 105.00% 245.00% 54.50% 43.50%
Buy 70.00% 155.00% 33.75% 27.75%

However, for some characters, the best Pin Price location can be beyond the worst-case Best Price, which may result in haggling. Thus, the optimal strategy for XP and reputation is the worst price between the best Pin Price and the worst-case Best Price.

Also note that the chance of getting a Pin Bonus varies wildly depending on the pricing effect. For normal sales, selling exactly at the recommended percentage will result in 100% Near Pin or Pin Bonus, but selling at 245% with high price, despite being optimal, only has a 19% chance. You may be better off going for profit when high/low price effects are present.
