1. load up your bank alt with all your goods

2. Click the appraiser tab in Auctioneer

3. Click configure

4. On the left, look for ‘Match Modules’

5. Click on ‘Undercut’

6. Set it to 1c (might piss people off, but max profit) or .1-.5% (better, imo)

7. close the configuration window

8. Alt click ‘refresh’ to refresh your entire bag. (this will take 30-60s normally)

9. Check the ‘Undercut’ box

10. Set pricing to ‘Market’ (if you prefer another pricing method, than this guide is way too basic for you )

11. click an item on the left column, glance to make sure that there isn’t an underpriced item already listed (if there is, buy it, and click refresh again).

12. Click post

13. Go to step 11 until your bag is empty.

This is the method I use to keep approx 650ish gems/pots/raw mats on the AH at all times, and I make about 600g a day for about 5-10 minutes of crafting (JC/Alch) and 30 minutes of posting. If I farmed my mats instead of buying them off the AH, I’d probably be up to 1.5k/day; but farming sucks

Very much appreciated.

I’ve pulled some wicked sales over the weekend by just looking out for people simply not knowing what an item is worth. Do scans 2, maybe 3 times a day. Then just search all armor and weapons rarity blue and upwards and look out for anything that can be a sweet deal. I used to use bottomscanner for this but I’ve read it’s been taken out due to Blizz not really liking the functionality.

Someone posting a nice looking blue for 40g or less isn’t that uncommon. Find a couple of those, don’t be afraid to take a risk now and then and you can easily sell it for 4 times what you payed for it.

There are several advantages and disadvantages to the state of the market at the moment, but if you’re willing to take a chance here and there, it’s the perfect time to find those sweet deals.

Learn to recognize those items that sell better in smaller stacks and instead of putting up 1 big stack, split it up, jack up the price and post an entire batch. People’d be surprised as to how many players choose to pay more (and I do mean a lot more) for just the right amount of reagents, because they just “don’t need a full stack”. It may be a bit of a dirty tactic for making money but I’ve always said to myself “my stuff is selling, this means someone out there is willing to pay the price”. The fact it’s only a game helps to ease my concience too btw.

Quick tip, apparently a lot of people still haven’t figured out that eternals can be split into the crystallized elements. Look up what a stack of ten Crystallized buggers costs, look up the price for one eternal of the same type. Do the math and profit basically.

That’s about it, I’m looking forward to the next article. Cudoz to the author and good luck in game.

Auctioneer is very trustworthy, it is a tool. The market place is in a very unstable condition right now I agree, as ALL the prices are constantly going down since everything was super inflated at the release of WOTLK.

The numbers across the whole market will continue coming down by 20-50% every week, I talk a lot about this in the WoW: Economics post and also I will be putting up a Market Watch post when I notice prices beginning to level out.
Thanks for your comment. It is true more scans/day provides more concrete data faster if you have the time.

I am definitely overwhelmed by the data and since the release of the new autioneer after the release WOTLK, I do not bother to install auctioneer anymore. (that explains why I only have 1k atm..) With the current volatile market, do you think it is safe to trust auctioneer still?
