Using the AH in a good way.

[imba2k]

Hi, as this is my first post in this section of the forum. I hope im writing the right stuff. What ive got for you is a little tip when using the Auction House. A thing that not very often is recomended in the gold making guides that ive read.

Its all about observation. Say for example if you are a Alchemist. Take some time to check throw the AH for some elixirs and stuff. Take a look at how long time there is left on some potions. Then keep looking over the same ones. If you see that some of the potions often sales out in the AH.

Say for example that there is 10 major health potions in the AH (im just using major health potions as an example), if all 10 of theese potions has the "time left" very long. Wait a couple of hours.
Then check it again. If the potions now at this time arent on the AH anymore, or if a big part of the all arent there anymore.
They have probably been sold. Do this for a couple of times during a couple of days. If you see that the same potions get sold out regulary over and over again. Go check the mats for the items you have observed.

Make sure the price for the mats dosent go over the APX price for the potion at the AH. Then make some of theese pots.
Dont make like 50 at a time. Start small to see that they sell as well as you have hoped that they do. Then keep putting them on the AH, as long as they are being sold. If you notice that they arent selling as good as you have hoped. Switch to crafting some other potion.

And try to find stuff that arent being sold by alot of people. As the competion for that item will be too big. And people will start to undercut the prices minimizing your profit.

I hope this little tip havent been posted on the forum already. As i have searched but i didnt find anything about it. And dont flame me and stuff, please. As this is kinda my first contribute to the forum.. Sorry for any bad spelling. My English isnt that good.

And one last notice. Using the AH wont get you rich within a day. Let it take some time. Start small, go bigger as you get the feel for it.

Hope alteast ive helped somone.

is there even a bad way to use the AH?

[imba2k]

Sorry for making the headline hard for you to understand. Although. I cant really see to understand how your comments are contributing to this forum in any way, other than it looks like spam. So please, if you only have stupid one liners which aint saying anything. Please, keep them for yourself. Sure, go ahead and flame my thread, ofc. As long as it has to do with the topic and thread itself.

I would have thought this was common sense, have been doing it for a long time. Just as a tip for the future, its easier to get the auctioneer add on and check the trade channel for people who want a quick sale, who will sell their items cheaper than the AH. For example I picked up Braxxis Staff of SLumber (look it up if you don't know what it is) for a mere 20g. Resell value was 50g.

This is very much not common sense for some people. And thats what this guide is about To explain to the people who still are wondering.

There is, buying for example 1g item with 10g price. It's good way to seller but bad way to buyer.

auctioneer does that automaticly!
