Money Problems.

The auction house is the gateway to more gold than you will ever need...

No i have not sold the cloth I have gotten. I used it all for leveling tailoring on 2 of the 5 box and for working my first aid up on the main tank. The others do not have first aid trained yet ;(

I took tailoring for the money at 70. The tank has mining and jewelcrafting and the others all have leather working. Only one has leather working up to about 180 now. Finally the one has enchanting and that is going well but I did not sell any comps yet. Maybe it is time to sell if I do not need them .

Am i missing something here? both my 70s are tailors and i cant see how to really make any $$$ out of it at all - I did it for the BoP epix

Bags, Primal Mooncloth / Spellcloth / Shadowcloth, Spellthread are good sellers on the AH. The Imbued Netherweave pieces usually sell well too.

Unless you have a specific reason to level a crafting profession don't bother. I did level one of my shammies lw for the drums and an enchanter to de. I have a miner, flower picker(different characters so you can track both) and a skinner. You should make alot more gold farming then you do crafting.

Apart from Engineering, I levelled professions from the point of being self sufficient - i.e. I wanted to buy as little as possible from the AH, and from the point of maximising the value from raw mats I farmed. Being able to craft my own items has saved & made me a lot of gold over the course of playing my toons. Especially in terms of gems, bags, enchants & armor kits.

Rule #1: NEVER buy gear from the AH.
Rule #2: Always loot grays, they add up.
Rule #3: Try not to start a crafting profession until post-60, it gets easier then.

#1 Buying gear will make you go broke so quick you wont be able to fly back out of town
I think of the AH as one of those "Blue Screen commercials you see on TV, you know only 19.95) I end up regretting everything I buy on AH
#2 I loot everything! Till all 5 of my accounts bags are full, then I go sell, repeat.
#3 Don't craft, gather! Skinning, Herb, Mining... They all sell good-great depending on your servers economy. Always undersell the best you can and don't be greedy! When heavy leather is going for 1g 60s on my server I sell 1g 40s or lower, sells with in minutes. Also another tip on selling gathered items, you don't always have to sell... wait a while and watch the AH to see if there is a demand for something and sell it high, and keep your gathered items when demeand is lower (simple economics :P )

The only crafting I learned was Enchanting to sell shards and all the fun stuff, and tailoring because I started on a new server so I had to start with zero bags.
