Of course add-ons aren't required, but I can't help but believe add-ons are what helped me hit the cap. I'm pretty sure I would have lost interest in all the manual efforts to make that much gold manually, long before I got to 1 million.<br /><br />Yes, brain is required, but my brain tells me to use add-ons.

If you don't learn how to play the AH, an add-on won't be able to do it for you.<br /><br />Add-ons do have a leg up on your brain, though - they remember historical data pretty well. It's easy to forget the trends seen in markets I don't often watch.<br /><br />I got my start with Postal, OneBag, and Auctionator. Auctionator is very light, and I liked it because it cleaned up the AH interface. There weren't many 'automatic' features about it that could lead to mistakes - it just allowed me learn the AH a bit easier.<br /><br />Nowadays I use TradeSkill Master - but, I'm quasi-big-time now, and I did the leg work learning the AH and using my brain.

"What method of posting wou...@Apprentice Trade<br />"What method of posting would you recommend to people taking the high numbers and lots of diversity approach?"<br /><br />Thats what I do myself. I don't use a posting add-on at all. What I am saying is that those aren't a requirement, just a luxury. If you are a new auctioneer, you should focus and understanding and learning how the auction house works, not worrying about add-ons, until you have a grasp of the auction house as a living breathing entity. Then start to look for add-ons to streamline what you are already doing based on your previous understanding and knowledge.<br /><br />@Kathroman<br />Agreed. Again, if you are new and dowloand add-ons, who probably won't even understand how to analyze the data if you don't understand the market, the economy, and the cycles involved with the auction house.<br /><br />I have made plenty from the glyph market without using a single add-on to post for me. that was including back when the old auction house ui didn't allow the kind of fast posting that is allows now.<br /><br />Don't forget that the basic auction house UI has improved greatly since vanilla wow.Coldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02988692142058297277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-82631703111620402082011-02-23T09:36:12.340-06:002011-02-23T09:36:12.340-06:00I don't think a market such as glyphs would be...I don't think a market such as glyphs would be worthwhile without an addon - it would be too inefficient. You would probably be better served focusing on markets that are driven more through profit than volume. Chaos orb recipes, flipping epics, etc. You could still do well, you would just want to limit the amount of "administrative" time in your routine (posting, canceling, mail opening, etc.)<br /><br />One rebuttal I will throw out there as far as addons making you a better auctioneer is through their ability to sort, filter, and organize data. Addons that make information more accessible for you means that you waste less time processing the data, and more time analyzing/interpreting it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-25984295854546555602011-02-23T07:32:57.028-06:002011-02-23T07:32:57.028-06:00I concur with you on principle, but I do have one ...I concur with you on principle, but I do have one question.<br /><br />How do/would you set up auctions for Glyphs then? Since the market is pretty saturated on a lot of servers, the profits have to be made through large numbers with a few gold earned per sale. I can not see myself going through hundreds of glyphs with Appraiser once or twice per day, both from a time and concentration perspective.<br /><br />While I do still set up all other auctions manually (enchanting mats, trade goods, vanity stuff etc.), I really appreciate TSM for the bulk post feature based on material groups. To be fair, this feature shines the brightest when resupplying and selling glyphs though.<br /><br />While I could see it being similarly useful for selling gems, it would require setting up and maintaining too many groups for enchanting, blacksmithing, tailoring and leatherworking (or maybe I am doing it wrong).<br /><br />TL;DR: What method of posting would you recommend to people taking the high numbers and lots of diversity approach?Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300281082890149261noreply@blogger.com
