FROM A HOTEL ROOM... while preparing for a Non-invasive, with only very mild associated joint pain and other side affects, but I was able to give the gift of life for someone with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.... If you want to be a part of the registry to become a match or want to know more... Check out Be The Match DOT Org The donation process was fully expenses paid, meals, travel and hotel. You can register by mail at be the match dot org, or a local drive. It is a worldwide registry...
Life and someone else life is greater than WOW. My PSA is over and done.... Now on to WOW....
800K gross sales in one week... THAT is pretty sexy... and since all my gold was previously tied up in stockpiles, I had less than 10K on my account (horde side of that server at least)...
Things that work:
The same things that worked last week and the week before and the week before... ... ...
Having a spreadsheet with all my baseline costs. Since ZA seems to still and as addons go, maybe forever be on the fritz. Auctionator keeps on workinging, and I just refer to that spreadsheet. That way I still don't sell anything at a loss by blindly undercutting the other dumby. As the week wore on, there were several voracious undercutters on a couple scrolls that it was not worth my time and gold to prospect most of them and buy them out to reset the market. There was one... its cheap, and it has not seen its day yet.... Resilience to to chest. I was able to buy out the market, most below costs, I know this one is a seller, and I will be waiting for the new PVP season to unload if I have to. I did reset the market and continue to try getting a few sales. Time will tell
THats all... Auctionator and spreadsheets thats how I have run all sales in the last week.. about 120K in gems, and another 700+ in scrolls... Its good to see a plan come together... I will probably hit the million marker this week... and when I get home, I should have all the parts to build a new bomb PC... SSD, and more than one core on the processor... NIOCE!!!!1

Baffling and Befudling... but it moves on
well.. hmm... half mill in less than 3 days... okay its gross and I had piles of scrolls and mats ready to go... but its good to see a plan come together...
things that are surprising:
Volatiles.. they have not gone up in price, and to some extent even have dropped, except V Earth...
Overall, there are a lot of players with stocks that are undercutting current and previous mats costs on scrolls...
Inferno rubies going up from ~100G, to 200-300G, a bit more than i would have guessed
GCEs going up from ~ 50G to over 100, again a bit more than I would have guessed
overall the volume of apparent posters/undercutters in the scrolls market
the sillyness of undercutters, cutting below mats prices from LAST week when they were still lower
Things NOT surprising
GCEs and infernos and Carnelians values went way up, just more than I expected/would have guessed
Massive volume, I was not prepared as well as i could have been
Massive profits, selling for a lot more per scroll on many items...
The plane to sell consumables is working well
Addons are not working, and Having all my baseline data up to date prior to patch with posting volume, mats costs and such has allowed me to continue manually posting, just undercut w/ auctionator, and before I post I refer to my spreadsheet that the price I am listing at is still profitable to my mats costs, the cost I got mats prior to the patch...
Lessons learned...
MORE GCEs.. 2 full guild bank tabs would have been batter.. along with the precrafted scrolls and other stuff
Not sure why, but volatiles seem to not really be going up in value, waiting it out for another week or 2 to see what happens, I still suspect that storages will dry up and then I will see the price increases...
Current status:
Scrolls market, over 500K in sales in 3 days, this is the big one and my primary market
Gems, has seen about 80K in sales in the same 3 days.. this is a play and dabble market, so I do not push the volume I could... After I am good on the enchants/leg armors/EBBs I am posting on the main toon, I review markets and cut and post accordingly.
Still working on valor capping all 3 toons to buy BOE valor gear for my raiding main... the bank alt is good, and got 2 pieces of LFR T13.. heh... and some other nice goodies in the new 5 mans...
the raiding main, is up to 800 and deciding how to get that last bit... would prefer to do it in a raid and get some experience
the priest is barely started, at 200 valor and still has the LFR to run and some gear that would be nice in the 5 mans..
Due to many schedules, particularly mine, I did not run a raid this week... I had a conflict of schedules, and am now in a Hotel, and will donate bone marrow tomorrow for someone..... To me that is way more important than WOW and raiding.. the peeps on the raid team all agreed.
I may end up going with TSM... still using ZA, and it has not been updated to functional yet....
Now is when your perception of your markets gets dicey IMO... the first week rush is coming to a close, but the second week will be busy too. Depending on when the PVP season starts... other big impacts will be the BOE valor pieces and the regular BOP valor gear will start to become available and cause a huge flux in demand... I have not tried to sell any of the PVP blue crafted gear.. but may go for that too soon... been busy keeping up with just the scrolls...
GL to you and wish you the best in your enterprises
