Simple Auction House Trick to Net You Gold on WoW

So what is this amazing trick? It is really simple, actually. First off, this is for items that are stackable, or that can be put into stacks, etc., you get the point. For example, a stack of mageweave, or iron ore.

Heres what you have to do: Instead of marketing all of your ore or whatever as a stack, you need to break it down into ones. Find the lowest price that these sell for individually, and undercut it just a little. Auction up all your items like this, not as a stack. You will find yourself gaining much more gold this way than as a stack, because the ratio per unit of items bought individually are usually much higher than the ratio for items that are sold as a stack.

However, make sure that the ratio for individual units is more first. You don’t want to accidentally lose money this way. Some items do sell for more as a stack, but the majority don’t. Just play it safe. Remember, the Auction House is still kind of like a stock market. Don’t undercut by too much or you could bring the whole prices down for all of that item that you are selling. Be careful about doing this too much, because once some one discovers this trick after you do it, they will begin doing it and then the competition will be bad. This will cause both of you to start having to lower and lower your prices, which is not good at all, and then other people might join in, and the whole thing would literally crash the value of that item.

This technique is recommended for the items found in Northrend, as most others aren’t really worth the trouble anymore, as most people don’t want them that much anymore, causing only some of your items to be bought. This trick really seems to work the best with saronite, because it usually has the least competition and is bought out the fastest.

I hope my guide has helped. This isn’t really a trick, just a smart marketing move. It will help you rake in tons of extra gold for your time, and is really helpful when you’re looking at that new bag or mount.
