@stevesgamebox,

This is a great and helpful resource for those who find those addons complicated and just overwhelming.
However, I would advise everyone to check the Disenchant value versus vendor value/avg sell price. I have been using these tools for 6 months now roughly, and I still have greens that haven't sold from months ago. Sometimes the listing fees are steep especially if it's a weapon/blue item and you are listing for a couple months...adds up to a few hundred gold sometimes.
If the disenchant value is twice or more higher than the vendor value, sometimes I DE and sell the mats instead...especially if it's an "of the Owl" green that won't sell. Why pay 150 gold in listing fees over several months when I know the DE mats are worth more?

[WarezHaxor]

That's true but I don't know if I would look at that moreso than looking ar what it actually DEs into and seeing what those mats are worth. I wouldnt post the greens for cheaper than say 100g if they won't sell...but at least at 100g you stand to make more profit on those that do sell that you lose from those that don't.

Hi Steve,

I have a problem where I have several items from the same itemgroup, such as 'Ornate Band' and I would like to sell all of my 'Of the ___' at the same time. As is right now, it will skip over them if I have one of them on AH.

Is there any way to circumvent this?

Best regards,

Tomatosoup.

how hard would it be to talk you into turning the guide.. pictures & all into a PDF ?

:-D

Thanks for this guide, +rep from me!

This should work, as long as you have all TradeSkillMaster addons + TSM app.

just replace with:

30% wowuctionMedian
95% wowuctionMedian
150% wowuctionMedian

I use this with: Application Info | TradeSkillMaster
TSM app has wowuction fetching built inside

Im getting invalid word and price when i replace with those

Fixed: you need the wowuction addon for tsm and to download the app

[crisscross123]

so again thanks for the guide, i made 200k and my ah is packed with items
(srsly this is so awesome, u make profit of stuff that u previously vendored, the competition is non existing - so no perm undercutting wars, only posting every 48h is enough.)

but i recently tried to switch to wowauction (as described above) but for some reason it doenst work for me.
I got the app and tsmwowauction addon.

so when i start the post scan all item have the error "invalid item/group"

when i type /tsm price [some item] wowuctionMedian it says: wowuction is a valid custom price but did not give a value for [item]
when i type /tsm price [some item] wowauctionregionMedian it works perfectly fine

so why do i have global data but not the data of my realm? (i selected the correct realm/faction on the tsm app page)

any help plz? ;(

[John Joghurt]

same problem here. sometimes its works, sometimes not. =/

[Voxcon]

I am also having this problem, hoping for some help!

Updated addon yesterday, seemed to fix my issue.

1) The undermine journal data reflects the real value of an item (eliminating the guess work)
2) We’ll never have to manually price our auctions again. Ever.
3) Time saved is astronomical. (AS-TRO-NOM-ICAL)

1)no - tuj reflected people's postping prices - that's it
2)yes - for items which let's call them ultra rare like frozen runes - on dead realm they're worthless but on 200k pop realm+ they're worth few spectrals/milions
3)yes - if you do count only mass posting then tsm is best so far ever created

Hey there,

Nice guide! Just a couple of of questions;
- What do u use now that The Undermine Journal is gone? (And how would that translate to your guide) for example the market median values etc.
- What are good places to farm greens that can be auctioned for a reasonable price?

Wowuction

If you want to try this out for yourself, just go and farm. Farm some BC instances, then some Pre TBC instances, mix up some, and then go wrath instances and finally hit cata.
