Making Gold in WoW. The multi-part Guide.

So, I'm sure that anyone using auctioneer has been noticing the price of low level enchant mats jumping up and down.

I could never figure out why that was until now. I have been using Bottom Scanner pretty extensively, and one of the search criteria is to buy stuff just to disenchant it.

That has been incredibly accurate up until today. For some reason, I noticed that every low level green on the AH was listed as a deal by the disenchant module. Well, a little research revealed that someone had jacked up the price of small glowing shards to somewhere around 1000g a piece. Which is pretty insane. So the disenchant module started dinging for every item that might DE into a small glowing shard...

Previously, I would find that a lot of people would put level 55-58 greens on the AH for sale for like 3g. I could then buy that item, send it to my enchanter, and DE it into say 3 Greater Eternal Essences. Which I could then sell for 17g easily. That was back when the disenchant module wasn't being screwed by people trying to gimmick the system.

In any case, I have now disabled that module for the time being. I can't sit here and wade through all the level 10 greens it wants me to buy. I just disabled it.

One of the other modules is the vendor module. What's hilarious is that people will put a stack of 200 Dreadfang Venom Sacs on the AH for say 24g... Turns out, you can vendor a stack of 200 for 30g... So I have been buying them off the AH and walking them over to the vendor to sell. =)

Anyway, that's some info for anyone using Auctioneer and Bottom Scanner... Beware the Disenchant module. At least for the time being.

Making Gold in WoW. The multi-part Guide.

I have several notes that I'll continue to post in here about making money in wow.

I never farm. Farming is just lame. I've tried to do it a couple of times, but I just can't believe I'm wasting my time on it.

The key to making wealth in wow is time. You have to look at the auction house on a daily basis if you are going to make money at it. But you can't just sit there all day and make money. Let me explain. Unlike farming. The AH is working for you while you are not at the keys. So it doesn't help that much to sit in front of the auctioneer for 5 hours a day. You would be better off farming something if you wanted to sit at the keys.

My method for making money takes no more than 15m per day. But you have to spend the 15m in order to make the money.

If anyone wonders whether or not I am really successful with my methods, feel free to ask Batillia, Ziethiel, Dalwhinnie... Any of those guys know that I have cash. Most of them have borrowed from me. =)

In this thread, I'll post notes about making money on the WOW auction house. If you have questions, feel free to ask them.

First things first. I use auctioneer. I've tried a couple of other auction scanning addons, but none of them do what I need them to do.

If you want to get started right away, I suggest you install the auctioneer addon and start scanning the AH today. Don't buy anything yet. Don't get all excited and start looking for deals yet. Just install the addon, go to the AH and hit the Play button.

This guide is going to be centered around using Auctioneer Advanced. The reason is that classic, though still maintained, has a number of limitations to it.

So that's it. That's the first lesson. Install auctioneer and do a full scan of the auction house.

Now, you need to do this once a day for no less than a week before you advance any farther than this. So if you're looking to make money, you better get that mod installed and start scanning now.

Picked up a new tv

So, I know I promised an explanation of rsyncrypto. That is still to
come. In the meantime, I picked up a new tv. I got it off of amazon.
It is a refurb, but after a week of checking it out, I can't find
anything wrong with it.

I don't understand why people still buy TVs at places like best buy.
