Often 1-5 is enough to do the trick. Buy out profitable mats and then relist small quantities at the price you want others to post below.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-9803614810491080042011-01-17T06:00:17.236-06:002011-01-17T06:00:17.236-06:00I happened to do the opposite the other day, I'...I happened to do the opposite the other day, I've gotten a blue drop (a cataclysm shield of some sorts) There was a price suggestion around 80G on AH and I put it up for 84G (or so I thought) The day after when I emptied my mailbox I saw that it had sold for 840G!GW2https://www.blogger.com/profile/10876469275120120796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-50323135683548612952010-11-05T20:04:18.041-05:002010-11-05T20:04:18.041-05:00I made the mistake of buying out all pristine blac...I made the mistake of buying out all pristine black diamonds below my threshold when the next highest price was 300% higher. Needless to say I had to wait a LONG time before any were listed below my threshold again. Thanks for reinforcing that lesson :) <br /><br />P.S. Thanks for writing such a great read so regularly. I check back here every day and attribute the ability to buy 80+ PBDs in this final rush before Cata to what I've learnt here and at JMTC (and others that I don't check so often).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-83035466091423876542010-11-02T11:21:31.006-05:002010-11-02T11:21:31.006-05:00I'll join with the others & say thank you ...I'll join with the others & say thank you - I too never thought of leaving a few low priced stacks there.<br /><br />The other thing to watch is your bid price - I watch my buy out price carefully but missed a couple of really low bid prices - obviously the enchanters snatch those up so now I watch the bid price auctioneer wants to set as wellAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-5040242011568056042010-11-02T09:22:16.808-05:002010-11-02T09:22:16.808-05:00Great tip about leaving a few low ball stacks up! ...Great tip about leaving a few low ball stacks up!

Although I do remember profiting from some dude that exclusively sold 264 BoE epics on my server. I just happened to spot the tanking gun on the AH for 300g along with the healing belt for the same price. I ate well that week I'll say.<br /><br />As for the not buying all the cheap items, I must confess I'd never thought of the consequences of doing so, thank you.Evlyxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12585191601697235555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-21827709040012903892010-11-02T08:09:51.559-05:002010-11-02T08:09:51.559-05:00Nice tip on leaving a few low priced stacks.

Using your borean example, buy them all at 8g/stack, and relist 1 stack at 10g bid only--I soon find several stacks below 10g. After you buy out your cheap mats, cancel your bid only sale if you want.Kammlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052373093776001210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-31440356610186303302010-10-27T12:03:15.943-05:002010-10-27T12:03:15.943-05:00I never considered leaving a few low priced stacks...I never considered leaving a few low priced stacks, that's not a bad tip. I found stacks of Borean Leather for 8g a stack and couldn't click fast enough to buy them all up! at 24g for 10 heavy Borean to turn into 1 Arctic Fur which is currently selling for 65g, i'm waiting for my 2.5 profit to come in now; however I probably very likely closed the Borean Leather market for several days now, as people will see a vacancy and post for much higher...

I try to be very cautious when posting auctions as well, not because I've ever posted anything incorrectly myself, but because of the amount of stuff I buy that has obviously been posted incorrectly! lol :)Miss Mediocrehttp://www.missmediocre.comnoreply@blogger.com
