Auction House Tips Compilation - Post All Of Your AH Tips HERE!

[Fatherjesus]

My experiences

With time you'll get comfortable with the prices for everything on your server.
If you look during early afternoon hours 2-3 moss agate should be really low on illidan it's down to 4 or 5g per I buy a stack of 20 and wait till 8 pm or so and just repost at 16g and they usually all sell out. I keep a miner parked down in silithus and just log on occasionally to go mine all the rich nodes at the northern cave system. I usually net 15-25 ore in 5 minutes I also like to go run to the very NW of silithus and kill the earth elementals and I can get 3-7 essence of earth per clear which takes about 5 minutes as well. Thorium was going for 100-120g per stack here recently and I was able to get 25g per essence as well. Mithril is always a good seller 50+g per stack easy to farm in badlands could probably get 3 or 4 stacks an hour without much work if nobody else is around. Another guy posted about xmuting majestic zircon that's a very good source of income I just buy the mats for 20 xmutes at about 300g and I make at least 2300g off them selling uncut gems.

You just start to notice little things, but you have to be paying attention

E.g.

I saw some arctic fur on my server going for 25g or so....(really low)...bought them - waited for prices to go back up to 60g or so and sold them...

Or Dream shard, abyss etc .... if you see them at a really low price thats not normal...buy em and stick em back in...

Or if you see say for example.... arctic fur being sold at 60g by most people and a few random ones are 30-40g..buy it stick it back in at 59.5g....you will be making profit just changing the price

Whatsup with this guide bro?

1. This is the basics, played a few hours in 3 days to have not had anything else and do.(from 1 year wow break)
2nd This is no OP GET RICH IN 1 SEC Tips
3th Everything is common sense when you know it; D
4th Will surely be added soon, however. :>

And once again, have not checked everything to get it perfect, ill change, etc. when I have nothing better to do.

Auction House is not so complicated, really, of course when the basics are:

BASICS

Buy low sell high
Buy regeants create item sell item
Buy regeant create item disenchant & sell item

And a bit more complicated

When to sell and buy, day / time
How to sell
What to do to maximize profits?

Something to start with is the addon Auctioneer:

Auctioneer addon for World of Warcraft /
Do not forget to scan the AH after install, you'd need to scan like atleast first week pretty often to get accurate prices.

there are FAQ about the addon on the site.

Knowing the PvE activity on your server


Try to keep track on when the big guilds have their raids, because when they get new epics they'll surely wants to enchant/gem their precious epics, try to be a seller for the guild for 100% gold profit, sell enchanting/gems mats to them.


What time and day has a meaning, to sell at 4 on a Tuesday morning does not sell as good as at 1 on a Saturday night.


You should try to buy items early in the day and week and sell at the end of the weekend.
Although the attractiveness to sell an item, you can try but dont go too big, will just lose gold, trying to sell something at the wrong time is mostly just a waste of time, but keep an eye on trade however, today I just sold titanium ores for 7k gold on the morning, using trade.






Keeping track of trade is something you should do, people do sell their stuff cheap as hell just because they need emergency cash, buy from them = cheaper than AH.
You'll not be alone with earning gold, so /Friend your competition to see when they're online to compete with them and when they're offline.
If someone tries to "own" you, never back down, will give profit.


They're be war on the items, if you spend your time on undercutting your competition every day he comes online eventually he will stop trying.


It's a mind game, to sell and buy, you must be smart. You can get what you want, in principle, only using the right methods..


http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman01/oevertala.jpg


to get 4 Abyss for 45g, or 50% off, just by using the right method.
He says clearly 50 or No Deal, when you say politely no, and wait, do not respond to what he writes, if I had answered "No" on 47g, it would probably not become a deal.



50 and 45g big difference? No, is the principle that counts, right now, it was 5g, but when it comes to larger sums and more profit, you know what to do.



When someone buys something from you on the AH, more than 3-4 items, click on your Auctions and whisper them if they want to buy more for a cheaper price / or stacks, though you sell for more or less the same price, but yet you do not have to pay the Auction House fee = more profit for you




I bought 8 abyss's that were 10g cheaper than the rest, the one I bought from putted up new and I putted up 4 new but 7g cheaper than him, allthough it's a risk here, either he buys yours or he relist cheaper, to make you buy his but über cheap.

To be on the safe side, be ready to cancel your auctions if you see "An buyer has bought your..."


In order to create a monopoly, it means buying all the items such as Enchanting mats and lay them out 4 or 5 times more expensive than normal price (depending on what you sell).
People are forced to buy because no one else are selling. (more on that later on)

[Abyss Crystal] is 20-30g on my realm, I myself do not buy if it costs more than 22g.
"[Abyssal Shatter] Disenchants into an Abyss Crystal Greater Cosmic Essence s Infinite Dust."

~ 1.5g per Infinite Dust x 175 = ~ 280g
+
~ 8.5g per Lesser Cosmic x 105 = ~ 940g
-500g of the cost, I added on the Abyss (x2
__________________________________
~ 1400g profit, ++/-- what time you spend, the day of the week, and so on.

Bid on items can make you rich, some put 1 bid and buy out 13g, bid on item and cash in 12g99s profit, so check through AH and just bid.

@Auctioneer you can bind "double mouseclick on item" = bids!




Scenario:
I sat in Ironforge and I saw someone were buying all my Lesser Cosmic Essence, as it happens, I usually runs to the AH, check auctions to see the name of the buyer and whisper him if he wants more, but I assumed that he tried to run a monopoly game, because he bought like 2 pages and 1 page were mine I waited for him to buy the real expensive ones with like 90% overprice.



When it were 1 or 2 LCE(the item) left I putted up my items (because he will refresh the AH before he puts out his) for 14g each (~ 7 is common) x10, he bought them, I putted out another 10 but 16g each, he bought them also, so I putted up another 10 but this time 18g.
And I whispered "good that u stop i have no left xD cya im go to bed:P"

To entice him to buy and try again, so I logged off and logged on to another alt and scouted Lesser Cosmic Essence, though he stopped.
so I logged in again and took the opportunity to put some at bid 11 and no Buy Out. Why?


Well, for people who do not have any idea what's going on, the newbs sees the 11g bid cheap as fuk compared to my 18g buy out, so they'll bid on the 11g, also 7g BO is common, as they have no clue!


http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman01/Wo...510_115538.jpg
(had like 8 at bids, screenshotted before gettin em up)

Okay, so now it was the people who bought my for 18g each, usual price 7g, GREATER cosmic essence for 15g that gives you 3 Lesser, people are idiots.

So, say something nice to convince them to buy, hint, if they are noobs act like noobs, talk like a noob, they'll be more understanding for it instead of using "real" english.

DIFFERENT WAYS IN BEING A GOLDMAKER




1. method: random seller. This guy has no industry. He is a scribe, leveling it and wants to sell the glyphs or maybe the guild needed one or he just wants to skip Hodir repgrind. He manually lists some glyphs. There are many of these guys and they list many glyphs at different prices.

2nd Method: AH-camps. He notices that crafting price is much, much lower than market price. He also notices that glyphs have no deposit cost, so you can cancel-repost without fee. He scans the AH, craft a few glyphs of each and drop them 1c below current price. He checks the market regularly (AH-camp), cancel all the glyphs that have been undercut and repost again. His aim is to be the cheapest every time, but only by 1c. He usually drop few glyphs of each (profitable) type because the time-limiting factor in this method is getting the Unsold glyphs out of the mailbox.

AH-camp vs random guy: Random guy posts. Unless he is lucky to find a buyer until the camps logs in, he will not sell anything and intakes out of the market place. AH campers make sure that random guy keeps away from glyphs and ordinary (non-goblin) people say "there is no money in inscription.

AH Camper vs monopolistic: monopolist buys up the glyphs of the Random and campers. Campers and Randoms happy. Camper logs in, undercuts monopolist by a copper. Monopolist can not sell anything and going bankrupt (or turns into an AH camps himself).

AH-AH-vs camps camps: the one who checked the load time is cheaper by a copper. They have each other on Friends list and try to camp more. The market is divided according to the number of cancel-repost cycles. If you repost once a day, and others repost altogether 100 times, you'll have 1% of the sales on average. While prices are still high, gold / hour ratios can be terrible until the competition gives up.

3rd method: deep in the cutter. "Deep" is a relative term, but it's surely not 1c. It means that in finite, note large number of cycles undercuts the price reaches 0. For example I currently run with 60s undercut. It means I can drive a 20G price to 0 in 33 cycles. The deep under the cutter does not camp the AH. Crafts many glyphs of each type (I currently run with 9), posts them undercutting the currently listed ones and forget them for 48 hours.

Deep under the cutter vs. random Seller: random guy lists glyphs, sells some. During Cutter logs in, lists below sells him some. Other random guy logs in, lists below, sells some. Prices come down, random guy does not drop more, the absence of competition in the cutter posts in the "normal price" + 20-30% again, price reset, random guy listen again. More or less peaceful coexistence, the market is divided according to number of glpyhs posted.

Deep under the cutter vs. monopolistic: The Cutter lists glyphs at "normal price" + 20-30%, as he find no cheap glyphs. Monopolist buys them up, the cutter happy. Monopolist sells high, happy too. Prices Steady climb up as the auctioneer "normal price" includes the monopolist's price. Peaceful coexistence, everyone sell, customers suck.

Deep under the cutter vs. AH-Camp: Under Cutter lists at current price - undercuts value. Camper undercuts him by a copper, he sells, deep in the cutter's everything back. Since the glyphs of the camps are still there, he lists below undercut them by value. Camper undercuts him by a copper, he sells, deep in the cutter's everything back. This cycle goes on, and everytime the price decreases by undercut value. When's price to the bottom, the deep during the cutter still does not sell anything, so his work is only to empty the mailbox and repost glyphs once every 48 hours. On the other hand the AH camps sells, so he has to mill, craft, cunning, cancel, relist, fight other campers and random guys, for 0.1-0.5G/glyph profit or even for a loss. It's clear who will give this up (after creating some materials to my "morons of the week" posts). As soon as the camps leaves, the prices slowly climb up.

Since people keep posting "he does not give up and keep dominating the market", I have to brake it down: it's the point that he keeps on dominating a dead market. The cutter wastes in 2hrs AFK time/2days for 0 profit, the camps loses 6hrs AFK, 2 hrs online / day for near-0 profit. Some campers are professional gold farmers or no-life kids and it may take some weeks until they give up, but it's only matter of time. All the the cutter has to do is clicking the "get all mail" once a minute while reading news / blogs and Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Batch Post before going to eat to make the life of the miserable camps. The only way for him to have not miserable life is to give it up (or turning the cutter deep).

Deep under the cutter vs. deep in cutter: Price Drop down, and soon reach near-zero profit. After the cargo camps gives it up, they both start to sell, so they have to mill and Crafts for nothing. The one with less patience, money (or the one with an idea to enter other business like JC) will leave, giving the market to the other one.

http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman01/-addon1.jpg

http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman01/-addon2.jpg
• Try not to spam the addon too much.
http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman01/-addon3.jpg
• After 2 / rapedotty start.

Okay buddy, an addon that massinvites peeps, wtf am I goin to do with that?

Either you have a chill guild with 400 people, or you do something out of the guild with 400 people.

Write a awesome text in Guild Information about they should donate items and gold for repairs and usage for the lower lvl'd guys, instead of vendorselling etc, like..


"So this is the most awesome low-level guild ever, just for chillin' or lvling. Donate yo shit to guildbank instead of trashselling, and donate a few shiny coins for more guildtabs and such.
Like 1g more or less aint that much eh? Bought tabard+guildtab.

For repairs for others and items for the lowbies to use.

AWESOME
"

Guild Bank after ~ 2 days. I have now 700g and more or less items worth 500g++

http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman01/guildprofit2.jpg
(now have 460 peeps)

The guild after ~ 3 days, around 1-60 minutes addon abuse.

Aight, the downside is of course when that's spamming you too much, like 20 times a day, then 2 things happen:
1. Ignore
2. Reported


The chance to get reported is very low though, and you will not be banned nor an addon lawl.

asdf

Alchemy is nice, as usual, Flask of the Frost Wyrm sells like a beast.

Mats for 2 flasks (2 extra if elixir specc and procc)

ATM @ Server:

Lichbloom: 22g per stack
Icethorn: 18g per stack
Frost lotus: 38g individually, buy 4, 192g.
1 flask sold for ~ 30g

Costs for 1 craft = ~ 46g

For one craft you'll get 2 flasks, if you're lucky, you get 4 = 240g, ~ 200g profit

Note, this is after ~ 3 hours per day after not having played for 1 year, maybe more to come.

PEACE

edit:
[COLOR="
Never panic, if you try to monopolilze an item and you end up with everything in your bags, not selling shit, just log out, log in another day and sell it, it works!

I bought Titanium ore, tried to monopolize, I had to leave my computer cam back and all were at my mail, so I waited a few days and advertised in trade while waiting for the prices to go up on AH(to gain profit) but instead I sold 30 stacks with Titanium ore in trade, and got 2000g profit.



Why I write this is because most of them tend to "Sellin ALL TITANIUM VERY CHEAP 4000g FOR ALL !!!!" gtfo, chilling sign in another day and put them out then, it is not immensely rich in 1 day, it takes time kiddies. relaxx

Here you can scout through the lowest bid, have to scan AH first though!

[makeshiftdecisions]

^^ just that.

[Andyman20006]

If you bot and have lots of items
-put about 4 stacks of the items up for sale and put a bid of about 10g cheaper
-if and hopefully when someone bids on the item you will see their name
-write down their name and contact them whenever they are online asking if they want to buy X amount of items
-now you have a private buyer and dont have to worry about ah =)

[ArthurEdwards]

I won't let any my toon just stare at the front AH of since its easy to farm 1K+ gold in farming and specially in the help of youide.

[mister_d]

1. Buy low sell high.
2. NEVER put in too many auctions at once. Make the demand look high and the supply low.
3. ALWAYS take a good offer being given out in trade chat. There are always people looking to get rid of their stuff for some quick gold.
4. If there is a low supply of something, such as Runecloth, buy it all out and put it back in the AH for 200% price. CONTROL the market at this point.

Happy selling.

[rino23]

in 6 days i went from 20g to 555g on my 51 rogue

1) go to trade goods in AH
2) go to a certain type ie. leather
3) click current bid at the top left (make sure the lowest bids are at the top)
4) look for all of the items that put the bid at 1 silver when the item sells for 40g
5) bid on them
6) this is where you hope no one else on your server read this and bids higher than you
* the more you check the AH the better chance you have of getting these items
7) gather won auctions and resell them
profit!

[rekoil222]

Always wait til tuesday to sell flasks/enchant mats/food

[Mujdei]

Farm HoS For green items , get auctioneer, and figure it out from then.

[TinusNED]

egg1337lol: You're that bitch on Frostmane EU that was spamming everyone with that retarted guild -.-

[Klausen]

If you ever need to have an expensive item crafted, try to sell it for a profit before "soulbinding" it. I have made an app. 3000g on two choppers this way.

[fedorov11]

Long time AH scanner here, just found this site. Sorry if this has been said.

Its been hard to make gold relisting boe items compared to BC times due to badge items and the ease of gearing out a toon. I've never really got into selling trade goods. Its always been easier for me to just relist one item for 2k more and profit.

I've been recently investing in the Argent Tournament pets that people list. When the next xpak comes out, people won't be up there getting those titles and pets like they are today, but people will still want those pets without doing anything. Right now I buy a lot of them around 350g. 500g is considered high. I will also be buying enchanting supplies in bulk since theres so many around right now. I sell old arcane dust for 60g a stack which I know I didn't pay more than 15-20g for during the end of BC.

When you own a lot of gold and a xpak is on its way, sometimes I feel its best to invest it in items to sell like those pets. Even if the actual value of the item doesn't go up, they may sell for 600g later but 600g is just as easy to get as 300g is now, its a way to beat the decaying value of gold which will occur in the next xpak.

[Shank099]

Considering faction changing or server switching? Make an alt on the server and investigate item such as the following:
Eternals
Gems
Enchanting mats
Premade enchants
and more!

I recently faction changed, spent 500g before i switched and made over 200% profit selling very simple things.

Quick Money with Chunk of Boar Meat (server dependant)
(If this is wrong section I apologize but figured it would go under guides not auction house tips)
Hello, some you may know that chunk of boar meat Chunk of Boar Meat - Item - World of Warcraft sell for a good amount of gold on SOME servers. On mine I am able to sell a stack of 20 for over 25, and decided that I wanted to capitalize on this. So I went to durotar and started posting in general "Paying 1g a stack for Boar meat PST! need a bunch to level cooking" and got 4-5 whispers almost instantly. I then took the stacks I got (6) and sold them on the auction house between 20-26g per stack (I buy undercutters and just resell theirs) so in 3 days I made about 114 gold profit just off chunk of boar meat!

(Disclaimer: I am on a high population server, and make sure I am the only one selling. If this works great if it doesn't o well)

Also I searched "Chunk of Boar Meat" and didnt get any hits
