    Run a opposite faction bank alt, to the shared AH so you can trade ect with yourself. (make sure to get fp's).
    I started selling just one argent pet from horde side, to the alliance. This was going for about 600g my side, to 1200g their side. I have since sold numerous pets and for a while have been just bouncing them back and forth.

    --- Cute things sell! To many women around imo. Sell lambs, mechano peeps, mulgore hatchlings, broomsticks and stuff all have netted me good money. I have been selling for 1k bid, 1200 b/o sometimes +/- 100g on both with much success. Same goes for certain things you can look at, check alliance for enchanting mats or eternals or green gems can get good deals going both ways. Multiboxers are at an advantage since we can trade with ourselves using different accounts. Just watch trying to pass large amounts of gold through blackwater since their taxes are so high.

    So in closing if you have not done this yet, look at selling pets between factions. So far ive netted about 10k gold doing this in just profit.

    Also be careful of moving items too cheaply. There are people that use auction tools and snatch up anything lower than vendor price and certain other items lower than what they set as decent. I've lost some stacks of Primals in BC in under 2 seconds.

    It helps to do a /who on the three goblin zones and look for obvious bank alts, i.e. low level characters.

    Yup. When I transfer things. I do it one item at a time. Have the buyer search for the item once to see if there are any others on the AH and cache any results. Then put the item up with the buyout, have the mouse ready to click search again on the buyer, and then post it and search it again wtihin a second.

    haha

    My items are up on the AH for no more than about 1-2 seconds before I buy it. So unless it's a bot, I won't be sniped.

    On my server there is a higher alliance pop and more high end alliance guilds, so since I'm horde most of the transfers are one way. So what I usually do is put the items up on the neutral AH for about 25% more than what it cost me on the ally AH. This helps keep my alliance bank alt flush with gold to keep buying things and also completely negates the problem of someone swooping the item from me.

    Of course this is only worth doing for items that are at least 50% more expensive on the horde AH, but there are a few items like that, now and then. For a while there i was buying all the ally Nerubian Chitin(www.wowhead.com/?item=Nerubian Chitin) and selling them horde side for triple.
