Make 1,000+ WoW Gold Per Week on the Auction House – 4 Simple Steps
No, this isn’t a sales pitch to buy an e-book! It’s just an easy system anyone can use to make anywhere from a few hundred to a couple thousand gold per week, by using the Auction House.
Step #1: Create a bank alt. This is where you will store all your items that you are going to sell each week. As your bankroll grows, you can purchase a guild bank with multiple tabs. If you are just getting started, four Netherweave bags and your backpack will do just fine, though.
Step #2: Mail items to your bank alt. While playing your other toons, mail any items you collect (but aren’t using) to your bank alt instead of selling them to vendors. As a general rule, don’t vendor anything that’s not gray; these are items that can be used by other players and may prove to be valuable when sold on the AH. If you are leveling a profession, mail your bank alt the crafted items for later sale. If you have any profitable crafting cooldowns such as alchemy transmutes, titansteel smelting, or tailoring, store mats for several of them on your respective toons and make sure to transmute/smelt/weave daily. Mail them to your bank alt as you make them.
Step #3: List your items on the AH. Once the weekend comes, it’s time to turn all of your creations and random loot into a big pile of cash! The weekend is a great time to sell all the items you’ve been collecting all week long, as more people log on to play. Using an add on such as Auctioneer or AuctionLite will streamline your AH sales by helping you price your items faster. You should look at the unit cost of items being sold, in order to pick a good price for your own items. The unit cost is the amount you are charging per item. Having an auction add-on lets you browse prices looking at this unit cost, to give you a clearer picture of what the market is like. The best advice would be to use common sense when picking prices, and quantities of items to sell. If you have multiples of some items, it may be a good idea to only list one each week, because of the deposit cost. The exception to this rule is enchanting mats as they have no vendor value, and in turn cost nothing to list.
Step #4: Profit! Check back after 48 hours and collect the cash! Anything that didn’t sell you can list again the next week. Toss ‘em in the bank and go back to step 2!
With just a few minutes at the AH each week, you can turn all your unwanted junk into enough gold to pay your repair bills, flasks, and just about anything else you need to buy each week. It’s really that simple!
