I lost 3 runed cardinal ruby yesterday while trading them over booty bay. Didn't log my winterspring & tanaris AH watchers as there is never a person there. Seems like that changed since a day as someone is camping there. Bottomline: i just went to the store to get me 2 extra vanilla copies. Installed it on a separate machine , one is scanning allies AH (opposite & busiest faction) and 1 booty bay. Now hoping it pays off.

Rather spend my money on this than on a my little pony mount.

I hope you're not doing the auto-scanning thing they made bannable a couple years back.

I'm not playing that long so i have no idea. Afaik i'm not doing anything against the rules, as it still requires me to initiate the scan. However i do that remotely as well as the buying. The reporting is a bit creative as well, but still according to the rules.

And yes it paid off so far: i sold 4 epic gems for over 1k gold. I figured that people who trade over a bunch of their gems don't look at the price (it almost happened to me) as in: they first search the AH to see if there are any others listed, if not they just click list & buy out with other toon, without paying attention to the price (as they think they listed it themselves). As soon as i detect someone is trading, i list it for 1k.

Over the last little while, the gem market has really tanked.
Average price has fallen from 150-160g range per gem to 100-110g range, for most cuts.
With enough volume (40-50 gems, under 110g), to make me not want to buy them all out and try to reset the price.

On the plus side, Saronite is also falling, with the average price at 11-12g per stack.
And Eternals are also going down fairly quick, so the costs are at least decreasing too.
But Scarlet Rubies are falling too; the spreadsheet says at current prices for Scarlet Rubies, 14g or less is a profit from prospecting alone.

Still... 90-100g profit per gem sold, is ~2750g a day, for every little time invested.
And I'll be adding five more JC's to the mix eventually.

close to 100 stacks of thorium today for 3g a stack. Thats a nice turn around.

Same on KJ, Gem market flooded, Rubies holding some and Scarlet ruby are40g ea! I been watching saronite ore and King's Amber. Some days I do ok others nothing.

[Ualaa]

Scarlet Rubies were selling for 20g each recently, but the market seems to be holding in the 30g range.

Cannot really complain too much; 5k per day would have been nice, but even half of that for under an hour per day... and that doesn't prevent the dailies from being run too...

I'm looking at the remainder of WotLK as time to get ready for Cataclysm.
Save as much gold as possible, and spend as little as possible.
Get the remaining five alchemists to 450 skill with transmute spec (they're DK's and have been made, and set up in ISBoxer, but are still in the DK phased area)...
Then level teams beyond 68th, so they can do alchemy immediately, with the release of Cataclysm...
Hopefully 73rd is high enough, that's the next step after the DK's reach 68th, but getting them to 80th would be better, plus the questing will pay back the cold flying that way.
