Playing the Wow auction house

I think you need to get to lvl 5 or something to be able to start disenchanting. I did that for a long time, buying cheap lvl 10-20 weapons and disenchanting, then selling the essences back. But then the market got fairly saturated, so it may not be profitable anymore. This was also over a year ago (I haven't played for a long time).

They effectively ended the days of an AH disenchanting alt because the level of the item you can DE is tied to your enchanting level. This really hosed me as I made a ton of money through disechanting. Buy low sell high is still good for lots of money. Its just like any other market really. Also once you get a good base of funding you can manipulate prices by buying mass produced items and then relisting at an inflated price. Takes a fair amount of gold and dedication to do this but its possible.

I only get on WoW like once a day [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Less if I'm busy. It takes time to sell things.
If I want to start hardcore monopolizing and price gouging, that'll be a different story.

TPN:

Thanks, I may try this. Lately I've been spending all my money on underpriced cloth and leather, but I'm starting to see that I'd be better off diversifying since I can only sell so much of one particular at a time. Demand for my items seems pretty high though, so it's been working out.

You do have multiple salesbots up right?

foal · #8 09-26-2007, 01:56 PM

What's a salesbot? If you mean characters, then no I only have one so far. When I start running out of inventory space I'll make more.
Actually I should have done so already instead of buying those 6g bags. Oh well.
