11 Ways to Profit With Auctions in World of Warcraft

World Of Warcraft WoW Valkors Gold Making Guide #1 Selling Gold Making Guide.


1. Download Auctioneer. It's an essential tool, for both keeping a record of the market, and for determining what's currently available at under the normal price.

2. Don't rely completely on Auctioneer. The market changes with patches and even fashions, and what sells for a lot of money at one point may not do so for ever. If you see six of an item, all at bargain buyout prices compared to old data, there's probably a reason for it.

3. Watch upcoming patches. Temporary changes, such as festivals and the war effort, can change the price of trade materials overnight. Wool cloth saw a price increase of 400% after patch 1.9, due to the War Effort. Anyone who bought wool in bulk beforehand made a huge profit.

4. Create a dedicated auctioneer character. Even with three auction houses per side, it's a complete waste of time and effort flying and hearthing your main in to the capital cities. An auctioneer also has their own storage, and won't be wasting bank slots your main character can use. Start small. A profit of 3 silver doesn't look worthwhile, but it's 3 silver you didn't have before, and it'll turn itself into 6 silver later, and so on upward.

5. Time your auctions carefully. Habits vary from server to server, but there are always patterns. Maybe trade goods sell well during the week, when regular players are online, and rarer crafted items and drops over Friday through Sunday, when the weekend warriors are on.

6. If your auctioneer is an enchanter, pay careful attention to what can be disenchanted. There's often a steady income stream to be got from disenchanting low to mid-level green items and selling the products.

7. Watch for regular customers. If one guy keeps buying your nature protection potions, then maybe you can arrange a deal with him, so that he buys directly from you, and no longer goes looking on the auction house for prices that might be lower than yours.

8. Use your main to supply the auctioneer. You'll get useless green items all the time on your main. Don't sell these to vendors, send them to the auctioneer character, and sell them. Even if you sell low for disenchanting, or disenchant them yourself, you'll still make more than from a vendor. If your main has a tradeskill, you can probably sell some of the products. Potions from alchemy, and very likely the upcoming jewels from jewelcrafting, are good for this.

9. If you can, create a character on the other side (Horde or Alliance, if you're Alliance or Horde), and watch the auction houses there. The Auctioneer addon will help you track those prices. Prices can vary hugely, especially on paladin and shaman gear, which is valuable on one side, and worthless on the other.

10. Be very patient. Some high-profit items won't sell for weeks. World-drop epics are notorious for this; I've had one listed and re-listed at the weekends for for eight weeks. It eventually sold, though, netting me a profit of over 170g in one shot.

11. Advertise on the trade channels. It doesn't cost you anything, and if someone's keeping an eye out, you can have an immediate sale. When you're doing this, spell properly, and don't be afraid to make recommendations. "Perfect for your Shaman!", or "Ideal for Protection-specced warriors!"

World of Warcraft contains plenty of opportunities for your character to make a lot of gold.

With the popularity of the game World of Warcraft on the internet, many players are being left behind in what should be called The Gold Rush. Of course the game can be played without having a lot of gold, but it definitely is difficult to do so. In World of Warcraft, gold is almost like your lifeline. It helps you grow, helps you purchase things, gives you edge over your enemies, and most of all, it helps you gain even more gold if you have it.

Unfortunately, it's not as easy to get as one might think. And it's possible that the game's creator made it out to be like that, but many players are turning to alternate sources to find that rare gold. One of these alternate sources include buying the gold with real money from someone they know or from someone that has it advertised on the internet ready to buy. Buying World of Warcraft gold does have it's benefits of course: it will help you get through the game quicker, easier than before, and it will help power level your character. But whether or not one should buy World of Warcraft gold is much to be debated.

First of all, one of the major tasks of the game is to seek out and farm whatever gold you can, and as much of it as you can. If you take away that major task and buy the gold outright from someone who already has it, what is left? Of course there are plenty of quests and journeys in World of Warcraft besides finding gold, but gold is what helps you do that. You take away your need to find gold and you just have one character wandering around in the game.

Second, what is the next thing that will be made into a shortcut? Will someone figure out how to make the quests shorter but produce larger returns so that the character can continue on? What else will be bypassed? By turning World of Warcraft gold into a shortcut, what else will happen to shorten the length of time it takes the character in the game?

If one can play World of Warcraft for hours on end, then why all the hype about buying gold from another player outright? All one has to do is sit down at the game and figure out strategies in order to gain more gold, which will help other aspects of your character throughout the game. It can be thought of as one big thinking, mind game. In real life, you can't always take these shortcuts by bypassing something obvious. No, you have to deal with what you have and enable yourself to make more of what you have if you need it.

On the other hand, if you are one of those many players that have more money than time purchasing gold can actually help you get some more enjoyment out of the game. Bottom line is like with everything there is a good and a bad associated with it. World of Warcraft is no exception to this. So, to really answer the question I see all the time...Should I buy gold or not?

The answer may surprise you....maybe. It all really depends on you and what you want to accomplish in the game.
