The Auction House
« on: December 26, 2009, 10:15:21 AM »

Share tips, exploits and adventures regarding taking gold from suckers here.

The only thing of note I've done recently is intentionally crash my own holiday markets. I made a few hundred gold in the first two days before way too many undercutters set in, so I crashed the markets, bought out their panic undercuts of my undercuts, and established a barely-above-profit wall of hundreds of goods. So you know, I made an extra hundred or so over the week and let everybody else on the AH know that my e-dick is huge.

I've never received hate mail or tells. I sad.

Still wish you had made a list on the forums of everyone who bought your eggs and ice cold milk for 5g.

I think going to post the thread actually made me feel too bad about it.

He meant the official realm forums. It is also a little late for me to care and I only took down maybe 18 names.

Despite the huge nerf to 450 fishing in 3.3, Dragonfin meals are still a really stable moneymaker.  Selling Fish Feasts is still for fags.

I immediately sold a Jingling Bell for 50g. The price wars for Holiday Pets have currently slashed them from that first hopeful dope at 1600 to 50g. I guess that's a decent undercut. Here's hoping they all go down to something retarded like 5g in the next two days so I can set a 50g standard all year long.

Way to catch someone who hit "create auction" without checking to see if they were actually undercutting anyone

He put up a few prisms cards for 10g too. And some Chaos but who cares about Darkmoon Deck of Losers?

All in all about 1000 free gold.

Prisms is also kind of bad, at least on Dethecus. I just end up sending all non-Nobles to hraedon for his "Insane" title, along with a big pile of salty language as i feel like i have been basically robbed whenever i get non-nobles.

I might have it on but not bother checking it. I've mentioned it before but I've always just sort of been a minor Baron, using my mind to remove the drudgery of dailies and to gem-chant my stuff anytime I please. This doesn't honestly require much more than AuctioneerLite.

Auction Won: Fel Iron ore x20 High Bidder: 3g. (x5)

It's always nice for that one diamond to fall into your palm after a flood of "you have been outbid on x" after bidding on every improperly set item in the AH.

Once upon a time, I saved an entire server's economy.

If this plan works out, INSTANT MONOPOLY.  :richiam:

Enjoy your undercutting wars with no-lifers and bots, dude.

Dethecus had a decent set of goblins the last time I ran auctioneer.

Nah, man. I'm not undercutting anything. I plan on seeing this pay off in the long term. I will never drop or raise the price to anything other than five gold... unless they do some crazy shit in Cata.

You misunderstand me. If somebody has the gumption to challenge you, they will simply produce every glyph at 4g99s.

So unless you're a lucky son of a bitch who frightens every other glyph baron on the server, well...

Good Luck?

Of course I expect that. Like I said, I expect this to pay out in the long term when the market tries to rise again at some point in the future, I'll still be selling them at the same cost I always did. If I can get sufficient knowledge on the server of what I'm doing, I'll fix the market for as long as I play the character with my "public option."

I figure many will be appreciative and continue to come to me for my charming personality and the service I do to Dethecus Horde.  :whoops:
