Exploiting the Lazy and Less Informed

[ev0]

Introduction:

This post is simple: How do you earn gold from taking advantage of people who are just lazy (don't feel like finding a vendor in a new city, etc), or exploiting the "noobs" of the game (people who don't know where to find ______ for _____ gold, so you sell them easily obtained items for profit).

What can you do to help?

Moonberry Juice! Moonberry Juice - Item - World of Warcraft

This is an item for the quest: A Fizzy Fusion - Quest - World of Warcraft
The quest can be obtained from Darkmoon Faire, might be a good idea to sell them (in a stack of 5) when the event is going.

Oh and also, Simple Flour, Simple Flour - Item - World of Warcraft

This is also an item for a DarkmoonFaire quest, Putting the Crunch in the Frog - Quest - World of Warcraft
Also a common ingredient for cooking recipes, maybe some ppl around are to lazy to find the vendor and use AH instead.

Chocolate Cookie, [Chocolate Cookie] From Cooking proffession

But you can buy this from [Palu - NPC] in Suramar

This is an item for the achiev [You'll Feel Right as Rain - Achievement]

I get tons of "golds" 3-4months ago, when i find this vendor

[TheCompleteWeirdo]

The Rock and Problem Solving Pendant
Basically these items have very high ilevel so they are popular among twinks around 19-39, a lot of people are too lazy to go to Silvermoon to get the Rock and Shatt for Problem Solving Pendant, I've been selling the Rock for around a 400g markup daily.

Winterspring Cub - Item - World of Warcraft can sell for 10x the amount it costs.
50g vendor price, 500g AH price.

With Winter Veil event coming up soon. There is always a seasonal quest where you you need to craft 5 gingerbread cookies and Ice Cold Milk. These items can be posted on the AH and people will always buy them despite the absurd markup. Ice Cold Milk is found for almost any General Goods Vendor. Small Eggs which are require to craft Gingerbread cookies can be easily farmed.
Horde: Dragonhawks in Eversong Woods.
Alliance: Moonkin Darkshore

The first item is the Embroidered Shirt which can be bought from Salan Sunthread in the New Dalaran and it costs only 1000 gold.

This item can go on the Auction House from 2000 to 6000 gold depending on your realm

The second item is Tome of Polymorph: Black Cat which is sold by Endora Moorehead in the Old Dalaran and it has a price of 2,500 gold.

The item can be sold on the Auction House for a price between 3000 and 5500 gold depending on your realm.

Counterfeit Rastakhan Mask - Item - World of Warcraft
can be sold on the auction house!
You get this item by buying Sack of discarded hearthstones from griftah next to the horde to for the zuldazar port. You must then do a series of trades until you get the mask. The mask can then be sold on the auction house or used to trade in for a toy back at griftah (Zandalari Effigy Amulet - Item - World of Warcraft) can buy as many hearthstones sacks as you want and can keep on trading into masks. I have priced them 10k each on my server and have sold 70+ atm. If your selling them slowly make sure to undercut any competitors, and make a trial character on the alliance / log into an alliance alt and write in trade that you are selling the item for 15k or 20k Nd it's the only way to get the toy without having a horde max level toon, although a lie it'll make many people search the ah find the cheaper one and buy you out so they can make their own profit

[beyondbirthday1]

Selling Talisman of True Treasure Tracking - Item - World of Warcraft it was a lot easier to trick noobs into buying it back in BC, Wrath, Cata, and MoP but I can still find the occasional sucker who thinks this will give them better loot.

[Techies]

I've made an absolute killing off selling Arclight Spanner - Item - World of Warcraft
