Auction House Pro Tip

i started with 80silver 3 days ago, and I have 30g+ now and 2 crafting skill maxed. It works, but if you don't know how to do it in other games, then it wont work here as well

Seriously, you shouldn't use the TP to make gold. I had.. Quite some gold, and started doing fast pace % positive trades but due to the buggy, stupid and utterly useless system gold sometimes disappear. Which means it'll eat your profits up in seconds.

I call bullshit... Everything that ever disappeared for me came back a few hours later. If anything more than 1g would disappear from me I would do it as Anet specifically asked: Report it and they track down the trade and reimburse you.

For ppl looking for a bit more profit I can suggest to go higher stakes. The higher level Upgrade Components such as Orbs and their upgrades bring good profit for me, buy 20, sell them and make 1g profit. They often have a difference of 10s between for what you get them when you post an order and for what they sell.

Eleborate on this? Last time I looked there wasnt any profit anymore in buying on the TP, salvaging it and selling the results.

Butter buy 100 for 1 silver, sell it for 2 double benefit.

Yeah, only you pay 5% deposit and 10% sales tax. don't forget that, as it makes it only 0.7c for 1 resell.

I tried it out but the taxes are ****ing me :X

Botting for low level stuff is profitable. Overnight you can do 2-3 gold and that is just getting rid of things to buy orders.

Obviously with the trading you are always trying to stay a bit ahead of the pack because markets do crash.

Butter was trading at 1 copper then in a week it has risen several times and was around 5-6 (I believe) before the latest down for maintnence period). Either demand suddenly picked up becasue people are cooking scones all of a sudden, or it is gone up because of speculation.

[Thrillseeker]

Butter is one of the ingredients you can use in the temporary mystic forge recipes to gamble for some money and/or build a permanent portable mystic forge for yourself. Thats why the demand for butter and a few other highly supplied items has risen.

wow unreal

I was doing flips for items worth 4-5g each, then someone undercut me huge (by about 1g) so I removed mine from the TP and just as I did that, the TP went down for maintenance, and they never appeared in my Pick Up tab. I decided to give the benefit of the doubt and wait at least a day or two, and still nothing showed up. Have a support ticket pending but who knows what will come of it.

That essentially gobbled up about 8-10g of my potential profit and set me back huge. Not very happy =/

You guys are thinking about crafting mats etc to make 1c->10s per but really the answer is more... yellow

[pauk]

well if you'd came up with a bit more usefull stuuff you would've deserved rep but now...\

[babaa]

selling exotic accessories(ruby) works okayish until morons start to undercut you for ~10c profit for them
