Obviously you are one of the people that gets profits made off of, not a profit taker. It’s been less than a day since the patch. If you’ve already given up you don’t have the patience for this.

Think about it. It’s a big patch with a lot of changes and laggy servers still. Everyone rushed out and blew 1,000 gold on dual specs and then off into VoA or Uld to get pwnd for a while.

Since the servers were hitching for a while no one even thought about arena while they got specced dual and glyphed, no new gear yet, no new enchants.

Yes, glyphs were a slam dunk, but that is VERY server dependent. On a ton of servers that advice really would have sucked because the sell price is below the mat cost – we can’t put that information out there dude.

This advice cannot suck unless you bought mats too high. I currently have several hundred abyss crystals on the AH. None have sold yet, but I’ll just sit like a tiger in the grass. Tomorrow, when raids really start to get tuned up to go, and new drops begin to fall, the market is going to catch fire.

There I am, with hundreds available. But they won’t like the price, so they will wait – for about a day – just like you. Then they will pay and pay and pay because they cannot wait. Biggest day for me – next Thursday when the arena guys get really serious about getting back into things and all their mods are fixed.

Advice you do not follow does not suck. You have to stick with the entire system in order for it to work. That’s like saying the guy who says exercise will help you lose weight sucks because you exercised for 10 minutes once and you didn’t lose an ounce.

This advise sucked on my server. Sold next to nothing. Selling glyphs after this patch was a much better time investment

Why would the Mats sell better than the Vellums? for the Differant Enchants

What if you only have about 600g right now? What should I do to build it up so I can start buying the mats?

I understand what you are saying. I do not undercut the cheap guy I undercut the high prices. I buy the cheap guys stuff and repost. Eventually I can see where it could cause some down turn in pricing but by the time that happens the rush is over anyway.

My goal is not to be the cheapest but to be just below the highest prices. As long as there are plenty of folks willing to run the price up I will be fine. When people start undercutting me and more undercut them it causes a problem. So that is when me and the upper guys have to step up and buy those guys out and repost the items with our pricing.

I really do see your point and agree with it to a point. that is why I try to be careful in how much I undercut anyone. Paying special attention to the running rates at the time on my AADV.

Just keep in mind that undercutting to make a fast copper can sometimes backfire if someone else undercuts and floods your market…

My server is plagued by underkiller* who are so impatient and MUST be cheapest and have the most stacks on sale that AH sales are fast to drop and slow to raise again…

Common, simple econimic 101: Keep the supply low and the profits stay nice.

*My term for those who undercut others with 20x item stacks followed by another person who has to undercut then… and so on until item sale is so cheap it almost better to vendor if you want profit

i love this time of year i fill my bank back up. two things worth mentioning tho.

1) keep enough mats for the gear you expect to gain till the market stabilizes again. it sucks to buy stuff you sold, and kill your profits.

2) secondary market jumps, if you been making gold and following DYS for very long you should be attuned to market spikes after BIG patches, this is a BIG BIG BIG patch. so either predict your servers spikes using you auction mods, OR and BETTER YET make the spike, set the new higher price as you see more demand coming, if you sell out ramp it up more, do it daily like a religion (think face east and pray) and watch your gold pour in.

to the QQs so sorry, if your reading this you could very well skip the spike by getting your mats early, you been planning for months to get your new gear. treat this attack like you would one in an arean and prepare b-4 the fight starts.

BTW i made 35K gold from 10k, during the last PVP gear issue. THANKS DYS

Good advice I still seem to spend more then I make though lol. When I really concetrate on the AH I do pretty well but I tend to do it half a… I am planning on making a bundle when the new patrch goes live though. I always do it a little backwards. I wait for the prices to rise then I undercut everyone by 1 or 2 %(as long as it is still a profit and it usually is). I know I am taking a small loss but I sale my stuff twice as fast and make lots of gold. I mean you plan on 25,000 gold after the patch with my undercut of 1% I would make like 24,750 gold. To me that 250 Gold is nothing when I am gaining around 24,750 or so gold. I understand the Dominate and make as much as possible theory but sometimes you can reap the benefits of what others consider Domination and still be prefectly happy with your results. After all is Dominating not about using other people to get what you want? I want gold and I use other peoples greed to get mine. You run the price as high as you can please it will only help me out that much more, as a matter of fact come to Kirin Tor and run our prices up as well so I can benefit from it here lol.

As usual great article guys. Keep up the good work. Been along time since I posted but I do read them all.
