"Only one faction per realm on PvP realms" and other just announced limits

[Fat Tire]

There are only 3 neutral AH's though and they're all pretty easy to get to with engineering. Once you're established on a server and have a few alts it doesn't take long to clear out all the bots so you can trade your stuff.

I would imagine it only being harder in classic. There are less servers, so that means it will be more populated.

I never stood by the auctioneer waiting to be slaughtered. In booty bay up on the beams and in tanaris outside of the hut there are places to stand and watch. My low levels were rogue who sat in stealth, I had two accounts and had one in booty bay and one in tanaris.

I remember alliance having an item that sold for $ on alliance, but on horde it sold for $$$$, so people would buy on alliance to resell on horde transferring using the neutral AH. They would even advertise on the warcraft server forums.

I picked a number of those items up(for the life of me I cant remember what the item was though)

There was never very much for sale on those AH's. The good stuff was easy to spot even if people varied the price, I just sorted by price. I could spot the good stuff right away. Sniping the items took seconds with out a program, I may not get them all but I would get a number of them. An addon called auctioneer or something like that came out much later I remember. There are many addons now.

I would get killed every once in a while, but remember I had two characters and I didnt pop out of stealth until I clicked on the auctioneer. I also remember vanishing and the guards attacking them which I would imagine was completely frustrating.

You could do a /who to see if high lvls were in those spots. Granted I didnt snipe everything but I got enough stuff to make it worth while when I felt like it.
