Jacking AH Prices to reap some booty

[siskancal]

This may very well be common knowledge or even a callaboration of tips from greater men than me
but I ran a few searches and nothing met the criteria I searched for. So get your stolen/copy pasted
posts ready cause it wouldn't be a mmowned thread without. On to the guide..

Requirements -
1. 3-4 Alts (Dont get attached they need to be replaceable)
2. 100G or more starting cash (Can start with as low as 25G but would be retarded)
3. Desire for human flesh

Scam 1, the retards are upon us.

This idea came to me like most gold making ideas do, while trying to scam people. Originally I
was just setting out for free ore and gold while banking on peoples lazyness/rushing. What I did and
this alone works well at getting alot of gold was spam trade with WTB Saronite Ore for something like
2 gold more than it was on at the AH. What usually happens is you get miners relieved that they found
someone that will buy their stockpile or people playing the ah that say hey I can make a quick buck
buying the ore off the ah and selling it to this smuck thats over paying. So they buy it or farm and skip over to
the mailbox like fairies who just heard that a new season of queer eye for the straight guy was coming out.
Load up the mail put in the C.O.D price and boom sent. Most of the times they aren't mental midgets and
click the C.O.D button but alot of times and suprisingly more than I expect they don't. So now you have 12
stacks of saronite ore and possibly 180g that was meant to be their fee. Voila, common knowledge right? Maybe
I don't care.

(Mail back any C.O.Ds that were done correctly. After awhile your name will tarnish and you should make a
new alt to do the dirty work.

Now too take that further into something that might be new(prolly isn't)

Scam 2, Attack of the clones.

Now what I realized was happening was that while spamming WTB ore for more than it is on the ah that
people ****ing flock to the ah when they realize I am over paying and they will buyout any ore that is priced under
what I was asking for.So my pee brain lights up and goes I got an idea why dont I just make an alt that buys ore
at the common asking price, spam trade with another alt asking for way to much, wait till the market is
over priced then start selling back ore for alittle under what my other character is spamming it for with another alt.
You'll make about 2g profit every stack more if you can raise the market enough in a given time(also any free ore
and gold from idiots who dont hit C.O.D).
You'll also run through alts that get a bad rep when people catch on you aren't actually buying any ore but I have the
luxery of playing on a lagfest over populated shithole server so there's always players whether they be JCs or BSes
that legitametly do pay out CODs all day long so your never gonna run out of trusting customers. You can even have
an alt spam trade to buy ore for alittle bit more than common AH price so you have a trusted buyer alt if you care about things like that.

Like I said this is easy and prolly common knowledge because I dont think I'm clever enough to be the first one to think of
jacking AH prices up for my benefit. Any tips on how to improve are welcome. Hate posts are also welcome if they are
exceptionally hurtful.

This isnt really a scam now that I think of it so I'm posting it in guides.
Pce.

Hmm I guess it is. To much back story not enough explanation. Hopefully theres enough speed addicts out there that read this and can follow my line of thought.

Yeah did that sometimes, it worked 75% of the time, sometime you just don't make any profit because there is a lot of miner on my server found that fishing was way easier to make money tho. People don't look at price i sell dragonfin angelfish 63g a stack, nettlefish 40g, glacial salmon 33g, mussleback 35g and fangtooth 37g some are selling it way under so i rebuy and resale there is no fishbotter on my server (alliance side) so i make over 3k gold on tuesday after raid reset and 5k from friday to sunday.

Way easier and don't need to think too much for doing it

Maybe if you use different colours or set things out in different paragraphs it would be easier for people to read and understand, other than that it seems like a good idea, think ill use it sometime soon

[Jibberish]

Maybe if you posted this in the AH tips compilation thread...

[UNREST]

lol, just tried it, the guy seemed like a noob, considering what he asked how much /stack when i had just posted it in trade, lets hope that it works.
