Also, bulk can mean many individual items or in stacks, or both? Which do you use? It would also depend on the initial demand of the product. If it's something that frequently runs out no matter how many there are, then definitely, I should have mentioned, it would probably be ok to slap them up individually or in a stack. But that requires knowing the market for item or its price well first. If you do, great. If it's something in an area that will fill up again fairly fast but demand is mediocre, bulk in individual items seems risky. In any case, selling them in singles has always worked for me, a few at a time since I can judge what the market is like before taking a risk and putting them all up. I'll be honest though that I'm not that type of auction house guy anyway. If I did trade items or quest items in bulk for a "living" I'd probably find it too cumbersome due to having so many and perhaps wouldn't care if all mine didn't sell, so might take the loss on those that didn't and just reput (not a word, I know but it should be) them up.

Most things i find sell easier in bulk. In bulk u can price it up aswell. single items are less appealing than in bulk. I disagree, i’m making huge profits from the auction house by selling in bulk.
