As I do every day at some point, while searching on Digg I came across an interesting article by the Zappos CEO (popular online shoe dealer) that actually relates to making money in the auction house, as well as real life. His many points are spot on so please enjoy the article!

A couple weeks ago I saw the Nobles Deck on sale for 4000g. I didn’t buy it and did not look further into it. I don’t know why, but a week later I decided to try the new decks again and saw that the average value is in the 20k range. Imagine, a cool 18000g [...]

So I’ve reached a point in Lich King at which I’m dealing almost solely in epics. That hurts overall sales because now anything less than 200-500g net profit almost seems to be inconsequential. However, with that strategy comes great risk.

A few days ago I made, for me, a record breaking net profit on the sale of one item: 1400g. Today I smashed it. What’s going on with me? It is like I was playing baseball in a clear bubble, able to witness other activity outside of it, but only hitting a home run and [...]

Today I paid more than I ever have for an item in the auction house in the hopes of re-listing for a profit. What will no doubt seem small potatoes to a few of you was a bit of a risk for me. 2100 gold was the buyout for a pair of non-crafted “tanking” shoulder [...]

On the main server I’m experimenting with, the market is finally starting to react with fairly predictable results. The most interesting is that while I had a slow period for about a week where I was always at +1k-2k gold net profit and had more inventory in the auction house, suddenly I find myself in [...]

So how are others faring in the auction house in the expansion’s infancy? For me, the server has cooled down a bit, with Celwyn still at around 1500g above what he started out with and about 3k in the auction house. I’ve had to lower prices a bit on some items due to competition. However [...]

I bought my first lvl 80 epic item this morning. I saw it for 600g min and 999g buyout. It was the 600 that initially caught my eye. Since it had good stats for a wrist item I made a quick check with Allakhazam to find a couple previous sales (and I think I’ll try [...]

What’s happening has happened many times in the past. If you’re at it long enough, then you’ll weather almost any rough cycle. MMO economies are still about stats and rarity. Celwyn is up 1500g up from the initial 2000g a bit over a week ago, with about 10-20 min a day just checking and reauctioning [...]

If anyone has a soft towel, may I borrow it to wipe my rose-colored glasses off for a minute? What was looking extremely positive as of the last post has come to, for the most part, a now steeper path of ascent. The road blocks are several, though none insurmountable: Fast devaluation of blues meaning [...]
