Making gold in cata

[Shodokan]

while it takes more screen time, you can always offer to buy at 10-25% below ah lowest price spammed in trade channel. most people don't figuer out that if you actually bought everything you were going to use off the ah, you extinguish the low prices total quanities really fast and are left with moderately higher prices and a new higher price point.

also, if you don't care about how people get their mats, you can establish purchasing agreements that are sizeably below market norms as long as you consume say 10-30 stacks of product. but buyer beware.

Bulk buys are always the best way to go. AH prices are always inflated a bit over the true value of an item.

I always look at it like this...

If you don't have a whole lot of gold, then farming your own stuff...
Whether that is herbs, ore, skin or cloth to sell...
Or whether it is mats for a combine...

It all makes you a decent amount of gold for your time, and is basically pure profit.

Once you have a bit of capital to work with.
And you want to mass produce something.
You're likely better off buying the mats and making it... for a smaller profit per piece.
But doing 35 transactions at a profit of 50g each...
Then you are in farming everything yourself, and making one transaction in the same amount of time that makes your 300g.

Just an addition to my previous posts: in the pasts days i've been buying all kinds of gems (both cut/uncut) & enchanting mats for cheap, as I expect 4.1 hitting us on next reset. New dungeons = alts gearing up to purple level = people need gems/enchants. That's the reason why I haven't been selling any cata cuts in the past days, just hoarding them up so I definitely have enough for patch day. Expecting to make a killing.
