As we all know, there are a plethora of ways to make gold in wow. To me, at least, most of them seem like work, and as a lazy stoner, I'm almost always against work, especially while I'm playing a video game. This guide is a great way to make some gold, with little to no "work" involved. No grinding, no professions, just some simple buy sell.
There are a TON of vendors out there with limited supply items to sell. Listing all of them would take forever, and frankly wouldnt be very practical. I'm going to pick out a list of some of my favs that have sold very well, and I believe many will continue to do well even come cata.

Thats about all I can think of right now. I'm sure I'm missing a few things, and I would definitely expect updates out of this thread in the next few days when I work on it some more. Also I'll update for rare cata vendor items once it comes out.
Hope you liked the guide. If you have any to contribute to the list yourself, post em up and I'll likely add it.
Also, as always, prices are subject to change depending on your server. If your high pop, try more of a markup, if your low pop, you could always do a bit less if your stuff doesnt sell.
Happy gold making!:wave:
Edit: Fixed a few things
Double Edit: Added some new vendors thanks to some suggestions
