Money makes the world go 'round, even if it's the World of Warcraft. Gold buys weapons, armor, food, potions and countless regents used to make things. Internet companies sell gold for real greenbacks, so World of Warcraft gold is big business. Now you can learn how the pros make gold the easy way in Warcraft without spending long hours leveling a profession or farming for drops.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • World of Warcraft account
  • Auctioneer addon

Step1
Download the latest version of the addon "Auctioneer" from auctioneeraddon.com.
Step2
Open and save the Auctioneer files in the directory "World of Warcraft," "Interface" and "AddOns."
Step3
Login to World of Warcraft. Click the "AddOns" button at the bottom left of the screen. In the AddOns window click "Enable All." Click "Okay." Then enter your server.
Step4
Go to the Auction House (AH) and open an auction window with the auctioneer. Make sure all of the check boxes are checked on the left. Click the "scan" button at the bottom of the window. The addon Auctioneer will scan all of the auctions currently on the AH and record their prices.
Step5
Click on "Search Auctions" in the auction window. Now set your search parameters. Play around with these to see what results you get. A good starting place would be "min pct less = 50," "max time left = very long," "catagory restriction = trade goods," and "minimum quality = uncommon."
Step6
Click "Search" and check the list of items on the right. You want to pay particular attention to any with very high "pct" numbers. This tells you that the item is listed far below its normal selling price.
Step7
Mouse over items that interest you. Auctioneer will display a popup window for each item and list its average bid and buyout prices.
Step8
Buyout an item that Auctioneer lists with a much higher average Buyout price than it is currently selling for, then relist it for the average Buyout price.

Tips & Warnings

  • Addons are user interfaces (UI) made for World of Warcraft by third parties. Blizzard offers no support for addons, but they do encourage their developement and use.

on 1/6/2008 One thing about this method, is you need some gold to start doing it in the first place. Not to mention some times the prices for things will inflate, later the prices will go down and STAY down, there's a lil trick some people call economy control, they buy out the whole damn item and resell it at a price they want it to sell at. Because there is no other items at that price people will be forced to buy it or not bother, however you need a lot of gold to buy out all the material.
