“What are we going to do today, Brain?”

4. 3 stacks bronze bars, bought at 39-80s per bar, sold at 1.15g per bar
5. coal, gathered, 51 silver, ooooo.

2888 gold in pocket, I need to buy something.

• 12 clam meat, bought for 7s, posting at 13.8 gold

3027 gold in pocket, Time for bed.

• Bought some Prarie Dog Whistles for 50s Each. Posting one at a time. Sold one for 6.6g
• Misc other sales, 2638 gold in pocket.

Ok, let’s see what’s for sale, now…

The danger with bidding, of course, is that you’re bidding away and either accidentally hit the buy button or bid on something with a stack size of one when everything else is 20.

• It’s always nice when you can grab a couple of stacks of copper ore for 6 silver per stack and sell at 7g.
• Rep items have no deposit, just like the enchanting mats and a few other things. So the Arcane Tome that you buy for 5 gold can be turned right around and sold at a small profit.

Bought misc stuff, 2528 gold in pocket. Time to get some real work done.

Ok, back to pick up some stuff:

• Sold Recipe: Crispy Bat Wing: 12g
• Prairie Dog Whistle, 6.6g
• Bought 4 glyphs of Conflagrate earlier, 25g total, sold one for 57g
• Misc other stuff, gathered and otherwise.
• 2680 g in pocket.
• Spent 82g on misc stuff to resell

Back later

• Another Prairie dog whistle sold for 6+g
• Recipe: Crunchy Spider Surprise, for 6+g
• Misc other sales and bought still more stuff

2525 gold in pocket.

Later… Picking up some gold before bed. 247g in sales.

• 3 stacks silver ore sold for 19g per stack, bought for about half that.
• Recipe: Transmute Primal Might sold for 39g, bought for 75s
• Another Prairie Dog Whistle for 6.6g, bought for 50s
• Two stacks bronze bars, about 22g each, bought for just under 8g each.
• Misc other stuff

2777 gold in pocket.

Sent 200g to an alt, yesterday eve, but got most of it back this morning.

• Bunch of misc stuff sold.
• Recipe: Transmute Primal Might, bought at 7g, sold at 32
• Recipe: Crisly Bat Wing, Bought for a few silver, sold for 12+g

2368 gold.

• Hmm… Succulent Clam meat may have been a fail. Bought a few stacks and far more replaced them.

Later…

• Thick Clefthoof leather, 22g
• Icy Dragonscale, 17g (high deposit, oops, I’ll only do this again is the price drops really)
• Two glyphs, 26g
• Six stacks copper ore, 36g, won on bid for 7s per stack
• 130g in sales total, 2490 in pocket

Back later

• Sold a pile of misc stuff. Gathered skins, ores, greens, etc.
• Design: Pendant of the Agate Shield sold for 23+ gold
• 2596 gold in pocket

Starting gold: 2139, 2334 across all alts. Stats say 4729 gold earned total, 2139 is left after sending stuff to allts and all the buying. About 26 hours played on the banker, which includes a lot of AFK time while I write this stuff.

So that’s 181 gold per hour, from scratch, using the Stats number, or about 90/hour after all the buying and sending.

Stats

in pocket

One place to make a bit of gold is in items that can be combined. For example, 10 Motes of Whatever (MW) or Crystallized Whatever (CW) can be combined into one Primal or Eternal Whatever. If a pile of CWs is selling for 50 silver, but the Eternal is selling for 12g you can make money. 10 CWs will cost 5g, so you buy them, combine them, and sell the eternal for 12g. Sometimes it goes the other way, too.

You tailors out there should search the AH for Dress or Shoes or Shirt and see what they’re selling for. If you can make any of those items then you might rake in some extra cash.Even the basic shirts do Ok.

Naturally, there are plenty of things that a high level toon can do thatlow levels can’t, if you have high level toons on your server, and I don’t. Not here.

• Gems are hit and miss, but they can sell. So I bought 5 Shadowgems at 78s each, to go with the one I looted, and I’ll post them for 2g 70s seach
• Bought 73 Dream Dust for 25-30s each, posting at 55s

I don’t get the people who sell glyphs for such a low price, unless they’re dumping. Since they sell the same glyphs repeatedly I don’t think they’re just leveling. You gather a stack of herbs and mill them down to eventually make 5 glyphs. You sell the glyphs at 3g or less each. 15g, if they sell (and it may take awhile to sell them.) Or you just sell the stack of herbs for 30 gold and it sells quickly. I think they’re shooting themselves in the foot…

Speaking of herbs… search herbs sometime. Who’s that posting 20 stacks of 20 Northrend herbs? People say that gold sellers get their money from stealing and raping accounts, I think they got it from that and from farming. Rikto’s account was hacked and they leveled his DK to 80 (from 76) and used it for farming. Obviously he got the account back. By the way, for grinding creatures a DK is a superb farming machine.

It’s great for the buyer, though.

• Buying all light leather under 8s each and reposting at 15s
• Someone posted 31 stacks of 17 mageweave for a 12 hour bid of 84s per stack. So I bid on all of them. Maybe I’ll even get a few.
• Bought some Soul Dust at 14s or less per piece, canceled my auctions at 28s per piece, reposting at 40s.

Can you cook? Chilled Meat is cheap everywhere I look, but the Northern Stew you make from it might be worth your while.Don’t make too much at one time, though.Foods that buff stats can do well, also.

• Buying raptor flesh at up to 68s, canceling my auctions (at 68s) and reposting at 99s
• 2 stacks of iron bars for 15g each, will repost at almost 30 each.
• 1 stack of Dark Iron Ore for 10g, reposting at 30g
• Got 3g for signing a gild charter, quit guild when it was finalized. 5g for signing is common, my Mage just got 10, and I’ve seen 25g offered, once. Great way to get some cash on your banker or low level toon.

Ok, that;’s enough for now. Back later. Gonna look through the Secret Guide for  more ideas (she keeps it nicely updated.)

If you’ve actually looked at any of these posts you’ll have noticed that I sell a fair number of limited items. One fo the limited item types available are the pets. Now, not having a higher level on this server some of them are closed off to me (I’ll check into it on another server,) but if you do have higher levels then it’s worth checking out. Prices to pick them up are generally pretty low and you can resell them at a very nice profit.

Zuggy has a post up on just exactly how you can do that and he names names, general locations, prices, and pricing suggestions. He also has a gold guide which you can buy and which has some pretty cool ideas which you won’t see elsewhere.
