Using The Auction House To Create Cheap Gold

[andrelie]

There are multiple ways to create "cheap" gold at the auction house but due to time i'm only going to share one way in this guide. Keep in mind that I will be adding more guides later and more auction house guides also. I call it "cheap" gold because you do not have to spend real money to get this gold! I guess I should call it FREE gold instead.
Buy low, sell high! You always hear that but how do you use that to your advantage? That's what this world of warcraft gold guide is all about.


First thing you MUST do is download/install the auctioneer addon (Download link http://media5.curse-gaming.com/downl...406/47/24210/). This addon will save you tons of time in the future as it will help you find items that are selling way below actual prices. This is by far the best addon I have ever seen. (Probably because I spend 90% of the time in game at the auction house!)


Once you have auctioneer installed you will want to just scan the auction house a lot for about a week to get accurate values on items. By a lot I mean no more than 3 times a day. Try to do morning, afternoon, and then again in the evening. What's that you say? You have to work? Well, you do not want to scan less than once per day. I find myself only scanning 2 times a day because I don't have a whole lot of free time anymore to play.
Now that you have at least a week worth of data you can start finding things to buy for pennies while you sell them for gold!


There is a function in auctioneer that will tell you what items are selling for way cheap and you can even specify for it to show items that will make you 5-10 gold if you want. Probably one of the BEST features of the auctioneer addon! Once you do that you will also want to do a manual search on the auction house to double check prices and make sure that the price wasn't dropped because of that item being flooded on the auction house.


You will also want to check to make sure how many times the item has been listed on the auction house since you started scanning, just to make sure someone originally didn't jack up the price when it shouldn't have been. On a side note, this will not be the case too much after you have scanned the auction house everyday for a month or so.


Now that you found an item and bought it you are going to relist it! There are some simple rules to follow when listing items on the auction house. First, you ALWAYS want to list items for 24 hours any less time and you are wasting money. Second, ALWAYS set a buy out price on items. Think of it this way, when you found an item you want for your character on the auction house and the item doesn't have a buy out price, what do you do? If you are like 99% of the players online you want it NOW! If you can't have it now you look somewhere else. Am I right? Third, ALWAYS set your buy out price just a little lower than the competition. We want to sell the item as soon as possible and we don't want to have to relist it unless it is a very high ticket item.

Hehe, so easy is it, just follow the guides.

/sigh

Don't just go straight for epics. I only just started today, using http://www.********.com/members/members , username and pass found in another topic.

I started low, and turned 9g spent into 30g. I'm awaiting the rest of my auctions to be completed, and if they all get bought out, then I will be rolling in a profit of about 100g in one day. No lies.

Can you give a link for Auctioneer addon? i had it before but i cant update? please give me a link!!!!

[andrelie]

heres the link for the Auctioneer addon http://media5.curse-gaming.com/downl...8406/47/24210/
have fun

[IshotTehsheriff]

just one simple question, how do i actually install the addon once its downloaded?

[Snugglebutt529]

I use this method already, usually making around 200g a day \o/

No one will buy epics either since BC is out and most of them can get almost equally good gear in no time.

A few tips if you want:

Enchanting mats - no listing fee and always in high demand.
Epics/blues - buy blues you know will sell - ie twink items. Don't buy epics unless it is ridiculously underpriced.
Essences - do your research well. If your server (like mine) is full of bots grinding away etc don't bother with essences for a regular profit.

Bid before servers go down for maintenance, chances are by the time the servers are back up you'll have a good deal.
Buy cheap stuff on weekends, sell during the week when theres more demand and less items.
Also sell items on weekends, if you list items slightly more expensive 80% of the time it will be bought out because the cheaper stuff is gone.

ALWAYS have a buyout price.
NEVER undercut to make a fast sale, you're losing money that way.

no rep.. i think the bottenscaner is the best addon eva
it will scan the auction house for cheap prices and show then to you
and tell you how muxh money you will make when you sell to vendor.

E.G. finds something for 20s and will tell you that sell to vender for 30s. you can tell it to buy for you or ignor it.



so far i have earnt about 40s in 20mins...i'm only lvl 16with 5g

but if i have 100g i will be making 100g a day with this thing

[israelijedi]

HAHA made 300g with this guide . really good one

[Srath47]

I've jsut been doing the quests in Hellfire and the Marsh and ive gained around 400g in 2 days just do every quest you can kill every thing in your way.. and go to teh AH at the end of your day, on a warrior so not hard only 75g from AH maybe.
