Big Stack - Small Stack? Ah guide

[jpte]

After reading all the nice Auctionhouse Gold guides here on Mmowned; which all are very nice;
I was really unsure how to acctually post all the stuff you buy out to sell higher and stuff, Post them indvidually? In 5s? 10s? 20s?After reading auction house and goldmakeing blogs and asking around on servers etc etc, This is what I concluded:
- The Big Stack Small Stack issue

A lot of people post large stacks of high volume items at low prices so that they will sell quickly.
It almost seems like they do this so people like me can pickup the stack, split it up and repost it for a profit.
Who else is going to buy, for example, 20 Frozen Orbs for 20g each?
The addon Auctionator offers really good ways to hunt down big stacks.
Here's what a really good big stack looks like for Dream Shards:


This guy posted 80 Dream Shards at 17g each. I had already bought 1 stack and sold 12 of them for 24.55 and after this screenshot I bought the rest.
These have been consistently selling for 22-30g on my realm, so I'm very confident that I will be able to sell them.
So for a 1360g investment I can immediately start posting these up at the positions I want, and I don't have to wait for prices to adjust to make my profit.
I'll probably sell these over the next several days for a total of, AT LEAST, 1800g for a nice ~440g profit.
It's good to keep stack size in mind when posting or buying. Imagine a scenario where you want to post 5 Dream Shards and the cheapest price listed is 17g.
You need to look at that 17g listing and see how big the stack is. If it says 1 stack of 20, or 2 stacks of 20, you don't need to go that low with your price.
Most people who buy things like Dream Shards don't buy stacks of Dream Shards they buy individuals. They will search for the cheapest individually priced Dream Shard and buy that one.
The above image is a good example of this. I'll post 5-10 Dream Shards at 24g 24s right after I buy them for 17g each.
However, THIS IS NOT TRUE FOR ALL ITEMS; particularly I've noticed that Relic(s) of Ulduar sell better in large stacks (of course so does cloth, ore, bars, herbs, etc).
This is probably because people want to buy large even numbers for turn ins. I've been buying ALL RELICS for <1g 50s and I've never had a problem selling them for as much as 2g 80s (stack of 200).
Usually they are posted really cheap in small stacks and sell much higher in large stacks divisible by 50. I build a stack of 200 when I can, post it between 2g-3g per and it usually sells the first time I post it.
This is a huge money maker.
