Okay I've played the nice card wayy too many times, overpaid for portals, I even had to pay for conjured water when I was raiding with people on my server :/
heres how it is, I've only got 525 mining so technicly I could of farmed alot if not almost all the mats myself on this
The item im going to use as a true example is
Elementium Stormshield - Item - World of Warcraft
I begged, pleaded and scanned /2 for cheap truegold I was lucky, on AH it was 500g, you have to be nice to these people, ask your friends, guildies, RPers idk whatever you do in WoW however I got my truegold for 300g,READYMADE, EACH by just speaking to a few people and making a couple friends, this is all about making friends promising to buy off the person again making your intended target feel like in the long run they will make a good deal (because they will, you'll see after at the end of the guide that you will restock a lot on the chosen item).
900g so far
As for the bars I thought it was alittle pointless buying them it was 30g on AH not much point trying to find someone to lower it so I bought them for 30g.
990g so far O_O
Now this was the part I knew nothing about, the chaos orb, as you might of seen in another one of my threads that I may have had a break and I have no idea how much a chaos orb sells for, in the slightest I wispered someone and they offered 700g, so I worked abit of social magic got speaking and I said if you can lower it down I'll buy more off you in the future and have all my crafting done by you (this was the BS crafting the item as the chaos orb is clearly bop) so he said no 700g was his final offer.
I was actually considering saying yes at this point I knew i'd have loads of profit however I knew I could get it cheaper, and cheaper again and again because someone else would lower theyre price over time, perhaps become friends and get freebies ;p
So I spoke to another BS withen 2 minutes, he had 8 instock and offered it for 50g FOR THE ORB, 50g FOR THE CRAFT, so 100g ? BARGIN
I had the item created and spent 1090g on the shield
Within 4 minutes of it being crafted it sold for 4k
3k profit in 20 minutes? 9k in an hour perhaps?
Now this is a guarenteed winner, Profit WILL always be made on this, whether as good as mine? I don't know but it is very possibly depending on server prices, your proffessions and your way with people to get more.
Here is a list of items I recommend on creating and selling on.
Remember the more you create and sell, the more mats you can buy off people, chances are you will get them cheaper which = lots of gold.
Elementium Deathplate - Item - World of Warcraft
Elementium Earthguard - Item - World of Warcraft
Elementium Girdle of Pain - Item - World of Warcraft
Hardened Elementium Girdle - Item - World of Warcraft
Hardened Elementium Hauberk - Item - World of Warcraft
Belt of the Depths - Item - World of Warcraft
Breeches of Mended Nightmares - Item - World of Warcraft
Flame-Ascended Pantaloons - Item - World of Warcraft
always remember to change the items you're getting crafted and selling, before you're realm gets suspicious
