WoW Auction House Tips

WoW Auction House Tips

While there are players that only use the Auction House to buy the items they need and make a little gold from time to time, the savvy player knows that the Auction House can make you rich. One thing that all players know is that it takes lots of gold to succeed. The high cost of potions, elixirs and mounts like the Mechgineer's Chopper or the Grand Mammoth means learning how to make the gold you need with as little effort as possible.

In other words, it means learning how to use the Auction House to your advantage. Here then are a few WoW Auction House tips that can help you make gold on any server:

1. Auctioneer: This is a free download and if you don't already have it, you need to get it. You will always have access to current market prices on everything that drops and has been seen in the AH. It can help you track pricing trends and give you a better idea of what to sell for.
2. Save Your Gold: Getting started in using the Auction House to make money means starting small, build your wealth slowly at first buying and selling cheap items. Once you have a fat bank account you can afford to buy out the bigger items and sit on them if they don’t sell. However, you should still sell the smaller items as well, one gold or one thousand gold it doesn't matter as it all adds up.
3. Watch the Splits: Here is one of my favorites; some of the items sell as individuals and as combined products. For example the eternals in WotLK can be broken down into 10 crystals. Essences do the same thing; before you list either of them see which is selling for more. This doesn't take long to do and at times the difference in price is significant.
4. Pay Peter to Rob Paul: Yes, I know this sounds backwards, but it is one of the best ways to make fast gold in the Auction house. Look carefully at specific segments of the items for sale and you are going to find that there are items listed far below market value, Auctioneer can help you with this as it can show the items percentage of market value. When you find items that are being sold far too grab them and then sell for a fat profit.

These are just a few strategies that always seem to work well as a fast way to make gold using the World of Warcraft Auction House. There are others and everyone seems to have a few of their own that work, study the markets and then just like the Stock Market learn to follow the trends, buy low and sell high. Before long you will be at the gold cap on all of your characters and be able to have all of the goodies in the game.
