Ah guide 400g+ 10 mins

[nick2ooo]

First off u need to have about 500g to start

This method works by owning a certain field in AH

for example my product is Greater Planar Essences
on my realm they sell for roughly 6.50g each

The good thing about Greater Planar Essences is they cost no money to list on AH and are highly sort after. This is why i have chosen them

1. Now what u do is you buy every single Greater Planar Essences off AH at 14g or less

Usually averages out at about 7.50g each for me (some at 5g some at 10g)

2. List all your Greater Planar Essences on AH for 14.99g each. some in stacks of 5 or 10 but the majority on their own

Now all you do is wait

You will get some people putting on Greater planar essences for slightly cheaper then yours but you don't need to worry about this.
As they are so sort after the 1s which are on ah for slightly cheaper then yours will sell in no time and so will yours

3. After 2 or 3 days once all of them have sold and the prices have dropped once again you rinse and repeat

This method has never failed me in fact not 1 of my Greater Planar essences hasn't sold.

Progression:
I usually buy about 100 Greater Planar Essences total off AH at average of 7.50g each and sell for 14.99g which = 750g profit for 20 mins work.
You can also buy Lesser Planar Essences and turn them into Greater 1s.
This method also works well with Motes.

I do this all the time, never really thought much of it though =P

Profits vary by server, time of day, and economy.

Is this not bannable as you are monopolising the AH (exploitation of the economy)

[Jareth123]

most of the time this will NOT work, once ppl see that greater planars have gone up to 14g, everyone will put theirs up for a little cheaper until it gets to it's normal price again.

I noticed this with silk cloth so i rushed to put mine up for a little cheaper and they were sold so fast! I think youd have a flood of people putting up what they have had saved in bank. Also another time i was looking to buy a item and noticed this so i just waited a few days for the prices to go down before buying.
Its good it works for you but it seems risky.

[Remus]

mm really now? ever do a full ah take over? no i bet you havent. i haveand yes blizzard bans for it cause monopolizing is something they dont like i gotbanned for having the ah in my control for 3 days.
made 20k in profit, half the server was pissed at me cause of the high prices and how i keptbuying out the competition. this baby monopolizing wont get you banned but once you get to the big charts.. becareful (and to clarify and noobs... no i dont buy gold no i dont sell gold and no i didnt scam on that account or server.)


hmm need to remedy my sig >.<

Another item that you can do this with is Rough Stone. I can sometimes find Rough Stones up for less than 1s. I can buy out about 100 for less than 2g. I'll put them back up at 50s a piece, and usually over 20 will sell (not a great sell rate, but still a good 8g profit). This used to work on stonemaul, don't play there anymore, so not sure

[lufkin]

couldnt get it to work on my server, its new and the AH sucks on it atm lol

[skero]

its pretty easy. all you need is gold, brain and lucky

[Volcano]

Common sense from all the ah guides.. they are all the same..

[Chillinotz]

To bad they are so cheap on my server =/

[tyminatorx2]

Works to some extent..

[Tankotron]

I get how this would work but what would make a person buy a GPE for over 14g?

[Philx]

I used to do this with mageweave cloth when i played

[shadeburn]

Well, why do people pay 15-25g for Greater eternal essence? they need it.
It's all logic, and i bet that stuff similar to this has been posted +10 times.

but then again, you did take alot of time writing this, +rep for that.
