Using Auctioneer to buy items and DE them for profit

[snowscar]

This is my favourite part and where I make most of my money. You need the Enchanting profession to do this. No need to take it to 375 skill, 275 is enough to DE lvl 70 items except epics.

Again go to Auctioneer and do a normal scan. Once the scan has completed open the hidden search UI.

Right click on the magnifying glass in auctioneer to bring up the new search UI. Choose Disenchant and do a scan.

You should see a list of item as shown in the image above. Buy the items and DE them. Then sell the Enchanting mats on AH for good profit.

Disenchanting is a chance. Sometimes you might loose money on a item if it give you less mats, but you need to understand that sometimes they also give Essences which would be worth 4-5 times the money you spent. In the long run you can trust the DE values shown by Auctioneer or Wowecon. Let me put it this way, I buy items worth 80g on AH and DE them. The mats I got from DE would sell for about 300-400g on AH…

You can also use the search UI to search for items on AH that are for sale sell that vendor price but use the converter search with care.

Here is my AuditorFU pic for my lvl 54 character on Ahn’Quiraj server. I only have another bank alt and no lvl 70’s. So all money was made in AH.

Well this is part of a guide I wrote for my blog. If you want to read the guide without using DE, read the original post on my blog here.

[panYama]

yes you could but use a good friend for that Eids, because if not he will rip you off or scam you.

Try to use a friend and group up with him so you see what he get's just to be sure.

I'd love if you post your setup for scanning AH. <3

[snowscar]

The default out of the box settings will do for DE scans... U dont need to change anything.. though i like to set my profit minimum at about 2g and 50%.
