Kind of obvious resale tip...

[Yano]

I haven't really contributed lately...been kind of hard for some reason.

Anyways, this is common sense but perhaps helpful to some less savvy individuals who are new to relisting/resale techniques, along with the abuse of players' inability to check AH prices. Short and sweet, this is a guide to taking advantage of impulse buyers.

Now, as we speak there are some bracers one can purchase with Valor Emblems that sell for 2-2.5k gold on my server. For some reason, people get excited about spending their badges and list the bracers for 800-900g. This is stupid, since I easily sell them within 2 minutes of obtaining my 60th badge, and for 2-2.5k depending on the buyer's eagerness to purchase. What I've done now, is started checking the AH as well, for people who decided to sell epics for less than they're actually selling for.

When I find epics that are lower than they would be otherwise, I advertise in trade that I'm selling them. I'll usually receive a tell quickly. Here's the catch. I'm selling the epics this person has listed at 800g for 2k or more. Even at 1.5k gold that's a 700g profit. I don't buy them until I receive a tell asking how much. If they are willing to purchase the epic, I check their location. Make sure the individual is in Dalaran. I tend to avoid tells from people in other cities since they have the potential to check the AH (sometimes there are multiple epics of the same type on there, if not, you can actually just buy the one epic once you get a confirmed sale, since if they go to view the item on the AH it will be gone). Regardless, once you feel secure about their location/interest, purchase the item for them. Head to Dalaran...sell...make a huge profit. This works nearly everytime if you know your values...you can even go down in price (usually I don't have to). The best thing is if you buy them for 800g and they turn you down, you can essentially resell them for 700-900g anyways, so you don't lose much, or any, in most cases.

Anyways, this may seem obvious, but perhaps it can assist someone who is looking for a good method for getting started up. You can test this with any items you have an urge to try to sell, I use epics merely as an identifier for the more expensive items with a larger profit margin. It would even be ruthless to use this to corner the market on items like ifinite dust BEFORE you actually buy any, aka find a buyer for more and buy it all out. The only problem here is that they're more likely to check the AH first on cheaper, more common items.

Good luck!

i havent checked new items new wow features in a loooooooooooooooooooong time when i log its just for 15-30 minutes level my DK ( 61 ) and then I get bored.. can you tell me name of bracers / items ? ty

It can be any item really, but a perfect example would be the valor emblem bracers that can be purchased for 60 valor tokens. Some people sell those cheaper than they need to, and are thus easily exploited.

Armguard of the Tower Archer
Bracers of Dalaran's Parapets
Wristbands of the Sentinel Huntress

The above sell best for me, but really you miss the point. It can be done with any epic, hell...it can even be used as a price-check method. If they say they're willing to pay your price, you tell them to hang in dalaran and you'll meet them there, you buy them...bam, profit.

This reminds me of my favorite trick...

This only works if you're the only one with the item, or if you're the cheapest on AH...
Put an epic/Shards/dark runes/whatever up in the AH for whatever overinflated price you want using an alt, then spam trade from Dalaran with another toon asking to buy that item for quite a bit more. Then when some greedy bastard /w's me that he has the item I agree to buy it. He picks up my item from the AH for a quick resale, and I have a mysterious Disconnect.

This method doesn't work with common items, but it is a goldmine for things like enchanting recipes and old-world epics.

Correct, although I stress that I make the most profit off these, not necessarily the only things I manage to make large profits off of. =P
