This guide involves my own personal techniques where I learned how to make the most gold in the least amount of time, even if you're lazy.
If you're like me, you are extremely bored when you play WoW. You are a horrible leveler and spend most of your time running around Orgrimmer or Ironfordge in a circle for hours at a time. I was always extremely mad when I would hear of 60's and 70's always talking about how stupid most WoW players who complain about no gold, and how easy it was to make gold. After times of trying everything from grinding specific area's to attempting soloing instances to trying everything I read on the internet, it was all the same, it all said the same stuff in different wording.
What you need to do firstoff is DL Auctioneer mod. DONT HIT THE BACK BUTTON YET. I know you have heard this way too many times, and you just cant make money off the AH. But we aren't using the Auctioneer Mod for its good deal looking on the AH capabilitys, we are scanning the AH to figure out the average prices of certain weapons, items, etc on your server. The auctioneer's good deal searching is good for people with extreme patience, but that's not me. Just scan once or twice a day for about a week to figure about the average prices of stuff. Now, to make use of your time spent in Orgrimmar and Ironfordge.
This is something people do not take advantage of enough in the WoW in my opinion, the /Trade channel. Usually people in the /Trade channel are looking for a quick sell will extendedly cheap prices. But, that is not the major advantage. The most valuable advantage is the LIVE CHAT! Live chat leads to haggling, and if you are a smooth talker and BSer like myself, you can easily drop prices of 70 Epic's and Rare Recipes, Patterns, Plans, etc. In logging on to Wow for about 20 minutes a day, I spend about 10 minutes scanning the AH to find the average prices of items, so when checking the prices people are selling in the /Trade channel, you do not get BSed by someone trying to sell you a crappy item, which you end up paying alot for just because it is purple. With the Auctioneer Mod, you know what's a bad deal, what's a good deal, and what to try to haggle too. After scanning the AH, I then sit atop the bank in Orgrimmar and spend 10 minutes reading all the adds in the /Trade channel. Any item that sells for extreme amounts buy. The bigger average price of the item, the bigger the savings. I would spend 150g after haggling on an item that's worth 400g. Then turn around and resell it for 300g. Pass the savings on to the person you resell too, the better deal you give them, the faster you can resell and it off your hands.
***TIPS FOR HAGGLING***
-Sweet talk people when you first say ask for price, make them feel like you're a friendly person. Use the words "bro" and "budd" alot to give your salutation a personal feel and NEVER BE SARCASTIC! This pisses people off a ton, and could ruin a deal. -BE APPRECIATIVE!!! Say "Thanks" and "I appreciate this great deal so much bro" alot. This makes the seller who is giving you the good deal feel good, and ensures he will go through with the deal when the trade window is open. -If you want to get something for a certain price, begin haggling for a cheaper price because the seller will feel better if you raise your price to please him, it makes the seller feel like you're giving in and losing the gold, not them. For Example: I want an epic weapon that normally sells for 200g. I want to buy the weapon for 100g. I whisper the advertiser and begin the haggling at 75g, then begin raising the price to suit him. THIS IS A TRICKY MANUEVER WITH GREAT PAYOFFS! TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS! -Do not let the person who sold you the item for such a cheap price know you are reselling it 10 seconds after it is in your inventory. Do not repost in the /Trade channel for sometime unless you're sure the seller isn't in a major city anymore. Start off by selling to guildys, etc if the person doesn't leave a city immediatley. -Finally, this is the most important aspect for me. STAY POSITIVE! It really helps your motivation to be a 'the glass is half full' kind of person. If you buy something for 25g and resell for 75g when it is actually worth 150g, IT'S OK! YOU STILL MADE A SUCCESSFUL PROFIT! Don't be mad guys, that's the key to continue making successful transactions for long periods of time in WoW.
I appreciate everyone taking the time to read this guide and I hope my little tricks help you as much as they had helped me guys. This guide is excellent for BC, and deals with basic psychology techniques to make WoW gold. THIS IS A SCIENCE! WARNING BC USERS: Make sure the item's scanned are up to date according to the new items in the game. Thanks everybody, good luck minipulating! I will be checking the feedback promptly, so leave your opinions on this guide so I can customize it to perfection. Thanks again.
