Make Gold From The Wow Auction House
Make Gold From the WoW Auction House When Starting Out
By Jim Wapp
One of the easiest ways to make gold in WoW is through the Auction House. When I started out playing this game more than 3 years ago, I was insanely poor just like most low level players. I couldn’t afford anything I wanted; I never even used a potion until after level 40.
After more than three years of experience, I learned many gold tips, and I am here to share with you one method that will help you get started.
I still remember vividly my first time entering Stormwind City on my level 10 human rogue. I remember entering the Auction House for the first time, drooling over a 90g dagger when I had 14 silvers in my pocket. I was one poor rogue, but I was thinking big things, the simple idea of buying low and selling high arose in my head.
This idea sounded good on paper, but how do I know which items to buy at which prices? I didn’t know. I was never sure if gold could be made from the items that I bought.
I made a level 1 character; I ran her to the nearest Major city and just sat her in the Auction House. I would log on to this alt 2-3 times a day to buy/sell in the Auction House.
As time went by, I became more accustomed to the Auction House. Profits began to pour in at a faster rate. I managed to turn a measly 60 silver into 150 gold by the time my main character hit level 40.
Most of my purchases from the Auction House were not weapons or armors. I avoided them because they usually have large deposit fees, so if they don’t sell, the deposit fee is lost.
Enchanting shards and cloths were some of the most thought after items, so that’s what I focused on. The best thing about bidding on enchanting mats is that there is no deposit fee.
Later, I found out about addons like Auctioneer which actually sorts out the items that are potentially profitable. Aside from the occasional UI glitch, this addon was a total lifesaver.
Costly mistakes were made during those times, I remember purchasing items that became obsolete right before the Burning Crusade, I lost some gold there but at the end of the day, the gold that I made far outweighs any loses.
You live and learn from your mistakes right?
