I've been putting 50 arrows up at a time, as not to get an infraction or warning (50 is what, one page on the AH?), and I've been making a good deal of money, especially if I have them up around 4 PM server time. That seems to be the best time on my server to do it, and I'm happy.

On my server, a stack goes for, changing back and forth, 3g-5g. I put arrows up for about 1g each, and I get at least 7-12g back each 24 hour period. When the price is around 5g, I still sell about 12, getting even more per 24 hour period.


I love this method. Taking advantage of impatient people is such an easy way to get gold. It's not a fast method, nor will it make one a millionaire over night, but it slowly builds up and shows a nice gain.

looks like no idiots on my server

[aamlord]

Still a lot of idiots on my server. I got nearly 100g overnight and Wednesday's not exactly prime raiding night.

[danimal]

I don't know what was funnier, me posting 22 pages of auctions, or me opening 997 messages with single arrows.

[_Kronos]

I made 1000g in 3 days... but all the hunters eventually caught on to it.

Its funny when they all cuss you out :P

[smash88]

Nice guide, going to try it out now, hope it works (i'll edit to add result later)

[Muggerd]

I've been doing this for 1 day and have made a little over 1k. Only one person has sent me a hate Email.

[CimSlunt]

Just posted 1x200 for 2G buyout as stacks of 1k were going for 10G.

Will let you know how well they go tonight.

[CimSlunt]

Just been out to pick the misses up from work, got back in and checked mail and i have 50 auctions ending in 25mins with 2g each. It works lol.

Altho im not gonna abuse this just perhaps use it for when i need some quick gold. +Rep.

[Muggerd]

Add another 176 gold to the total. Ive been putting them up for 6g when they sell for 7 and people have bought quite a lot.

Did it alliance side where the price is like 2g 50s for a stack and put them up for 1g 70s or something along those lines and they are selling also.

[aamlord]

It's still selling on my server. I've sold only 20 bullets so not many on my server uses guns or they are smarter than bow users

about 350 arrows sold in 1 and 1/2 weeks, earned a total of 650 gold but there's quite a few copycat sellers plus regular sellers who don't check carefully, and the price has been driven down to about 1g50s per 1000 stacks.
