Cross Faction Heirlooms now?

[Khatovar]

On the other hand, I just happened to be browsing the neutral AH for Green Hills pages this week when I came across someone doing just such a thing. I got a stack of Crusader Orbs for 1c.

I never post for 1c, and I never use the same price for Bid and Buyout because you can bid with no confirm.

I post for at least a few gold to minimize chances of a lowbie being able to buy it all

I position four toons, one per neutral auctioneer.
They are:
- Booty Bay, by the mail box.
- Booty Bay, the bottom level of the house by the upside down half boat.
- Everlook, the building with the bank.
- Gadgetzan, the only building that goes underground.

I always list for 1 copper.
But am content to only transfer when there is no one around to snipe.

The listing fee is 3x higher then the faction auction houses.
But you get all of it back, when the item sells, so this is a non-factor.
But the sale price (or auction cut) is 15% of the sale price, instead of 5%, which can hurt.
15% of 1 copper is nothing lost.

So have you leveled alts on the other faction or is there a way to get a level 1 to the neutral auction house?

Thats pretty easy actually, let them die then res them at a spirit healer near the Neutral AH(You get awesome ghost speed that way, or if you have a level 60 or below and still have RAF summon them there).
You might run into 1 or 2 critters that will take you out but its mostly a clean run.
There is (Or used to be) some bug with ressing near Booty Bay it will teleport you to where you died. The best place to res if that is still the case is Ratchet, just catch the boat (If alliance) res and then catch boat back. Easy Well easy on PvE anyway.

if I recall there are 3 ah guys in bbay ? (isn't there one near the vendors too)

when I did cross faction trading (my favorite was the throwing stuff for l19 twinks - buy 20s, sell 120g) I used to use a couple gold too to avoid getting sniped too easily - back in the days you could run bottom scanner to find people listing and snipe their stuff

I had no problem selling for 50s or 1g, and when the horde alt had too much money it would buy back a bag for 500g

I used Death Knights.. started at 55th, were 57th/58th on leaving the starting area.
And already had all the flightpaths there.

The level 1, and rez at the spirit healer already there is a good idea.

I'll check it out.

According to wow wiki, there are only the four neutral auctioneers.
But that's not saying there aren't more then four.

You guys are really doing it the hard way. All you need to do before you start sending some items through the neutral AH is do a search for

/who 1-20 stranglethorn vale
/who 1-20 tanaris
/who 1-20 winterspring

right before each trading session. Obviously if there is actually someone this low in the zone something is shady and then yes you might check it out if they are standing right next to the auctioneers. Even then it doesn't mean they are trying to ninja anything. They could just be doing the exact same thing that you're about to do.

Edit: Also wanted to point out that in 4 years of doing this and probably literally around 10,000 trades, I've only been sniped once.
