Post-Season Snowball Profits

[treyska]

Inspired by Whitelegs' thread:

I decided to crunch some numbers.

5x[Snowball] purchased from vendor at 10c
That's 2c per 1x[Snowball]

You purchase 4x16 Slot Bag (We'll use Netherweave) at 15g each (Arthas Horde)
4 x 15g = 60g

You now have 5x16 Slot Bags (after deleting your hearthstone)
5 x 16 = 80 slots.

20x[Snowball] per slot = 40c per slot.
40c x 80 slots = 3200c or 32s

You also have 28 slots in your bank, initially.
40c x 28 slots = 1120c or 11s 20x

Your total costs:
60.00.00 +
00.32.00 +
00.11.20 =
--------
60.43.20 = 60g 43s 20c

You now have 108 stacks of snowballs.

Let's say you decide to post each stack at a 2g bid and buyout.
AH cut = 0.05 x 2g = 10s per stack

You make a profit of 1g 90s per stack.

1.90 x 108 stacks = 205g 20s

205.20.00
-60.43.20 =
---------
144.76.80

You then vendor all 4 of your Netherweave Bags for 1g each
4 x 1g = 4g

TOTAL PROFIT
148g 76s 80c per alt.

You can also purchase two slots in your bank, and fill each slot with a 16 slot bag.
2x16 slots = 32 extra slots.
2x15g = 30g
Bank slot costs = 10g 10s
Total costs = 40g 10s

Income:
1.90 x 32 slots = 60g 80s
60.80 -
40.10 =
------
20.70 + Vendor Bags
= 22g 70s

Added to original total:
TOTAL PROFIT AFTER TWO BANK SLOTS:
171g 46s 80c per alt

That is, of course, assuming that someone has any use for 2800 snowballs in the first place.

Required funds: 60g 43s 20c
Required funds, second ver: 100g 53s 20c
NOTE: There is no deposit on stacks of snowballs.

The only way to make this work is instead of bags, just mail them to yourself, then continously mail them back and force while selling, otherwise , imo the cost of bag space for it to be enough to make a profit (141g is bad) is not worth it. So basically you would have to mail yourself tons of snowballs.... TONS!

Wow your number crunching puts my thread to shame >_< thanks for putting it into more detail and me in the credits.

This can make you bank! Buts its all in theory, and this would be a project over several months before you can even make your profit. You cant put them all on AH but youd flood the market and theyd be worthless. And if you do a steady amount of them on AH you need to make sure they will sell. Id still take alot of time to steadily put them on AH without flooding the market. Youd easily be spending alot of time making this work. Over all it wouldnt be worth it to most people =/ but i think if you do buy some extra snow and store them in your extra bank slots for some time you can make a few extra Gs.
To be honest its impractical, to most people. Im not flaming just constructive citizism. Good job crunch those numbers man is be way to lazy to do that myself.

Haha I know, I'm not gonna bother using up an alt for this, I was just bored while watching TV and decided to do a little math :P

IMO, if an alt full of them isn't going to make over 500g, it's not worth the time and effort that it will take to sell all those damn snowballs anyways.

The only reason I made a separate thread is that I felt like this one was hogging the light of your other thread :P
Thanks for giving me the idea and something to do with my boredom!
