When to start using multiple accounts?

[Big Head 22 1]

So, I recently bought a bond for one of my other accounts, so that I could grab a short name with the release of inactive names...  This got me wondering, when do you guys suggest starting to flip on a second account? I have begun flipping on 2 acccounts now, so I just put in 16 buy offers at around 2m each.

What was your total worth when you started doing this?

I've only flipped with two accounts once and I was making a lot of profit with Bonds the time (49m profit total). Given that a Bond takes up a single GE slot, it was worth putting using a bond on another account to flip 16 at a time, rather than 8.

I'd say stick with two accounts if you find that the profit you're making from spreading your cash over 16 slots exceeds the profit you'd make if you invested twice as much into 8 slots.

I agree with what @James is saying. If you're finding that by having an additional account is boosting your overall income, then I'd say keep going for it . 

I have 5 accounts I flip on (6 if you include GT), and I've started each of the accounts with around 50m, so much larger then what you're asking, but I'd say it's worth it if you're an active and comfortable merchant.

@Cow When flipping with that many accounts? do you fill every single G.E slot or is it more to avoid buy limits.

@Big Head 22 Both. If there's an item that I really want to flip and be invested in, then I'll buy that item across all the accounts. 

If there isn't an item I'm head over heels.. then it's kind of situational I would say... There are instances where I try to fill up every single slot, or there may be instances where higher valued items spread the cash too thin on the accounts and it's just a few slots being occupied.

I personally used four accounts with 50M on each of them. I think I was able to make 10-15M+ per day, just checking in on the offers every few hours or so.

I got too many accounts to be honest, the ones I am most proud of is my main, 2 herblore alt, and ironman. I keep them bonded at all times. I only use the alt for merchanting when I'm occupied on my main, I don't really like playing around limits--rather I'll diversify my item choices over the day. Keeps my knowledge fresh
