[Guide] Insane gold with Auctioneer

[PetRiLJoe]

Seriously? How do I post all items as batch automatically. They are all unchecked for batch by default. I have to click each individual item to check batch then do the ALT+SHIFT+CLICK batch post. Very time consuming.

And what am I buying ?? How does this help if I don't know what to buy?

when it says fill up your bags.............with what do you fill them up with.

For all those still struggling with this method:

- Basically it's the common-sense marketing
- The real advantage of Appraiser is the time you can spare while executing this thing

Appraiser refreshes your info about a particular item in no time (just needs a single scan of a few secs) and automatically sets your undercutting value up. Hence, you can buy all auctions below the market value and post them back in while undercutting the remaining market in no time.
You don't have to manually check the value over and over again, it automatically posts the items at a value -0,1% under the current lowest BO.

Usually, in WoW, there's always undercutting going on. According to simple economics like the relation of supply and demand the value of an item is usually getting lower and lower, because people tend to get items "for free" in WoW (well, you have to spend time, but many don't see it like this) so they keep undercutting the market.
That can be a big advantage and a risk at the same time.
Buying up items going for below the market value and reposting them can get a stable market, with you ruling the value, but when there are too many people constantly undercutting you and you don't have the gold base to keep up against that, it might be possible that you have to post them in for even lower prices to resell them.

That's why it's always best for beginners to start at a relatively stable market, with only little value changes. Those would be usually Raw Materials like Herbs, Cloth, Ore/Bars, Leather, Enchanting Materials etc. or things needed for raids like Elixirs, Flasks.
Because there are only little swings of their market value, the profit usually isn't as high as in markets like Gems, but it's way more secure if you aren't that familiar with the developement of prices on your server.

Following the fluctuations in the first days is usually better than just starting, because you get some raw data about the average market value and when the demand for a special item is highest.

In the end, it's just observation and some practice, you'll get to know the markets on your server and might be able to control some, just buy up the auctions going below yours or undercut some again if it's too much but you're still getting profit out of it or if you're sure that the market value will just drop even more.

Tried it but didn't work, already had a problem with getting the number on 0,1. Will try this

Wrong section

Basically, it's a guide on automating your auctioneering as much as possible. You still have to understand how to take over a market, manipulate it, etc, but it takes a lot of the manual labor out of the task.

VERY useful guide +rep

If you are tired of creating one auction at a time you could always use Igor's mass auction. Igor's Mass Auction for Wotlk with Auctioneer support - Addons - Curse

Set your overprice to 150-300% and your underprice to whatever you are comfortable with, I use 50%, but I also deal in gems which have wild price swings - set to 10% until you are familiar).

This part makes no sense to me.

In the Undercut category, there are two values that might refer to Underprice and overprice. They are Max under market price (markdown) and max over market price (markup) Then can only be set from values of 0% to 100%. So he's not refering to that, apparently.

In the BeanCount category, There are Maximum and Minimum. Those can be set at the values given in the guide. However, by default, Auctioneer has this Module off. Besides, under the General tab, the primary pricing method is Undercut, not Beancount.

Do we have to change the order of pricing? Is it done solely with the undercut module or it uses, in fact, BeanCount as well?

BeanCount only computes those auctions you have put up yourself, not those in the market....

Good guide.

What I can't figure out is why such a common WoW website would be blocked...it's like blocking wowhead or something.
