Small easy but worthy advice for AH trading

[Drogant]

Well after many trades i did i had found out that if i make starting price on bid with some random numbers ( if i want sell bid for 1m id insted write something like 1056484) it makes items sell some items atleast for bidding price if noone wants to buyout. The point is if people sees there are those random numbers they thinks this item was bidded before so someone wants it so it might not be as bad afterall. Wont work with compleatly bad items BUT will do the trick with descent drops worth around 100k+

Thanks for the guide. A quick note for people on the searching end of this rather than the posting:

If you click an item then click 'bid', it will say "Starting price: 1050239 gold" if nobody has bid on it yet and it will say "Current bid: 1050239 gold" if someone has actually bid on it. The average user might not notice this though, so it's still worth pricing the bids at random numbers.

Ye and make bids for items like 425000 or so, so no one will know that this item is good and there are hot fight for it. ^^

Hah, that's clever, I need to try it! I probably enjoy playing the auction house as much as I do the actual game.

Incidentally, I've always liked bidding on decent items with low starting bids. Most people just go for buy outs, especially for lower level items where you might outgrow them by the time the auction ends, so sometimes you pick up some pretty good stuff on the cheap,

yea as i said it works for more worthy items if i am selling armor for like 1 milion there are not all who only buyout there are actualy bidding wars sometime and this helps it get started
