Auctionhousing—how I make all my money in WoW.

First, basics.

Download Auctioneer. Run "get all" scans for a few weeks before you try to do anything.

This will help you sell those blues and greens that have been collecting dust in your bags or that, even worse, you've been gasp underpricing.


Advanced:
Take a look at a market. I've been doing this for a while, but my main markets are enchanting and herbs.

For example, I know that if I disenchant any armor or weapon selling in the lvl 35-45 range, I will possibly get a greater nether essence which sells for 15g. Auctioneer takes care of the math, all you have to do is buy what it tells you and disenchant it.

Like in this picture. See, math all taken care of.

It helps if you have some basic economics training, or you'll lose money to begin with and lose big. Actually sometimes I still lose money, but with proper use of auctioneer, it's very difficult.

Any questions?

good timing. Brett's talking about us getting enough money/stuff for a motorcycle and he mentioned playing the AH. I think he'll be better at it than me, so I'll pass this info along!

I miss playing the AH. I don't miss running a full scan every time I logged in for the day, but man was it fun making serious bank on DE components, rare ores and those people who mistakenly enter a buyout price in silver instead of gold.
