It's still early into MoP and the stock of ore may not have dried up yet, especially if you still have bots farming the older ore while they learn the new routes in the pandaren zones. <br /><br />Ore from older expansions always inflates over time. I'm selling saronite ore that I had saved from end of Wrath stockpiling that I paid under 12.5g per stack and am now moving it for 69-99g per stack. <br /><br />Stockpiling is a long term investment. Just sit and wait and definately don't start unloading it for a loss!Coldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02988692142058297277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-59948549724594802842012-10-05T08:33:23.627-05:002012-10-05T08:33:23.627-05:00Surprisingly, elementium ore has actually dropped ...Surprisingly, elementium ore has actually dropped in price on my server ever since MOP dropped, which was a few weeks ago now. I assumed that this wouldn't be the case on Kel'Thuzad US alliance, and that like saronite when cata hit, elementium would also go up in value. Any advice on what I should do? Wait it out until the prices creep up, prospect, craft and DE, sell as much as I can at a loss? Any and all thoughts would be appreciated.

Illusionary bags will (bar the possible royal satchel from the black market) be the largest generic bag you can get, ad the weekly volatile based Dreamcloth CD does not seem to be being removed. With AOE looting you will be able to sell these at a profit and using every orb you can and have acquired.

You should be crafting and selling while its hot and prices are high. Why would you stockpile something? To wait for more players to level up their professions so you can have triple the undercutting. Sell fast before prices fall as more people level up professions or level up and dont need the item you are stockpiling. You need a good amount of gold to boost your professions early but if you stockpile all your gold your going to pay more for items that were previously in low demand but are high because of all the new low levels.

Granted, you don't want to invest all of your liquid gold into items, because you will need gold in addition to commodities.<br /><br />Investing in commodities at today's prices is a smart move because there are plenty of items that you will continue to craft in MoP that are craftable today. You also can't hedge against inflation with liquid gold.<br /><br />Think about it. What could 1000 gold buy you in Vanilla? How about now? 1000 Gold ain't shit, but it was a ton back then. Investing in items that will save you money (crafting materials) or will gain value over time is what stockpiling is all about.<br /><br /><a href="http://coldsgoldfactory.blogspot.com/2012/02/using-inflation-to-make-more-gold-in.html" rel="nofollow">Using Inflation To Your Advantage</a> is a good article to get you understanding stockpiling and inflation a little better.Coldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02988692142058297277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-68187374146040195512012-04-12T10:47:26.286-05:002012-04-12T10:47:26.286-05:00The only certain market after the expansion will b...The only certain market after the expansion will be for new bags for all the new pandas being rolled. Stock up on Frostweave or embersilk bolts of cloth, Hypnotic dust and infinite dust. Beyond that the only thing you should be stocking up on is gold. Clear out your guild vaults of everything now and maximize gold sales now. You will need the space for new mats to satisfy new markets you are not aware of yet. You will need the gold to be able to corner the market on items you wish to produce and sell. <br />Anything else is speculative and a waste of space.
