Common Auction House Mistakes in World of warcraft
Posted on 2009 under WoW Secret Gold Guide | No Comment31 Aug
There are quite a few mistakes that players make when trying to make gold in the Auction House for World of Warcraft. Here are a couple of the most common ones:
1 – Being impatient – some players think they can play WoW for thirty minutes and stock their account with hundreds if not thousands in gold. If this were possible, everyone would be doing it and no one would be scraping every item they can find to make more gold. While it is possible to only log in for a short period of time and make a good amount of gold, this only comes from watching the ebb and flow of the AH prices. If item X typically sells for 10 gold, but it’s selling for 30 gold when you login, then you can make an easy 20 gold by selling that item. A very basic example, but one worth considering
2 – Undercutting prices – some players (myself included) feel the only way to actually sell is to undercut the lowest price in the current AH. Unfortunately, this leads to making the bottom line smaller. A better tactic is to BUY when prices are low and then resell the same items when prices go up. Keeping a close eye on AH prices can help you make money even when everyone else is taking 40 cents on the dollar for their goods.
3 – Making a lot of gold in little time – this is more of myth, but one that can be true. I found this to be the case once I started taking the lessons of the WoW Secret Gold Guide to heart. Now, I can login for 30 minutes a day and within a week make a few thousand in gold. You do the math. Three to Four hours of being online for $2K gold. That comes out to 500-600 gold an hour on average. Not bad and I can continue to do it as needed without worrying about my WoW account.
