do you find that guy any reliable? read/heard quite a few things about this guy, his marketing techniques and goldselling. i avoid his site as pest tbh
Well, I screen several blogs for usefull information, but I don't use any of them. Just cba. Don't need more gold. So i can't really tell.Quote:

He also has a podcast with 2 other AHjunkies which can be usefull. I listened to one so far, not to much new things in it, which was expected due to the market being quite stable before patch 4.0.1.
Based on those two, I'm quite confident that the info on there is good. But a lot is common sense. Like buying mats -> craft -> sell with profit. focussing on tradegood markets, don't buyout but bid on lowerlevel tradegoods etc.
So I can't really say that the site proved usefull to me, but I don't think any other blog did either. No real OMG insane profit things.
Anything, where the demand will outpace the supply is a good bet.
The only tricks are identifying the items which will be in demand.
And selling when the most people want them.
I personally think, the majority of new toons will have a main with a fair bit of gold.
And prefer to buy 'x', rather then slow their leveling pace and farm it.
Particularly, with 800 other new toons in the same zone also farming.
I'm not infallible, and could be wrong on this.
I've got 30 stacks each of Peacebloom, Silverleaf, Briarthorn, Copper Ore, Tin Ore, Linen Cloth, Wool Cloth, and am working on Strange Dust.
A tiny bit over 1000g on mats, which I anticipate selling a large mark up.
But if they don't sell in the 25-100g a stack range, it's not like 1k is that big of a deal; and they'll sell for something.
I have -never- checked herb prices. What's a normal price these days? I just checked AH and they're all 1,5k-2g each. Which i found extremely expensive. Actually considering to go farm herbs now.... 4/5 x herbalism will never harm. Or just one 1 toon. Since I'd like to have some alchemists.Quote:

The WotLK era herbs, seem to be 20-30g per stack.
So I've been buying those whenever they're under 20g, but have enough of the higher ones.
I wouldn't mind more of the mid-range herbs, for Cataclysm.
But won't be paying 50g a stack, which is the going rate for stacks of Khadgar's, Sungrass, Firebloom etc.
When I was doing the alchemy leveling..
I'd just buy all of the herbs, primals, etc.
And averaged 6k per toon, to go from 1st to 450 alchemy and transmutation spec.
I occasionally had to farm Briarthorn, Stranglekelp and Sungrass... had herbalists parked in the relevant zones.
How's this going for you guys so far? I remember the price of low level mats soaring in previous expansions but, at the moment, prices have actually dropped on my server :(
The rush on my server was pre-cata. I think most people bought up what they wanted before the expansion.
I never believed prices would rise day after expansion. There is still a good part that does not have cata yet. Once people start to make new alts, i.e. when their main is geared and leveled, and they start to level professions you'll notice an increase.
That's kind of what I've been thinking (hoping) too. I didn't invest nearly as much as Uaala though so worst case scenario for me = I've got enough mats for a couple of my own alts.Quote:

But at least in terms of armor and weapons there seems to be very little gouging. I certainly will not buy low level armor and weapons for 100-1000 gold, but lots of new items are listing for 100-200 gold, which isn't really gouging IMO.
Basically you can take advantage of whats happening now:
- you stocked up low prior to cata (weeks)
- the masses heard about the stocking up theory without having a real clue, they decide to save instead of selling
- cata launches
- they see that mats didn't magically go up ... they wanna get rid of their stock before it lowers even more
-> you buy, wait, profit
My Week 1 mats, alliance side.. aren't selling terribly well; horde side, going great.
But chances are, that's what has happened alliance side at least.
Not sure that I want to spend 3g per stack, to buy 25 pages of auctions; somewhere in the neighborhood of 1500 auctions up...
I paid a maximum of 1g per stack... and am listing at 10g a stack at the moment.
Horde side, spent no more then 1g per stack on Copper, Tin, Peacebloom, Silverleaf, Linen and Wool.
And they're selling in the 20-30g per stack range.
