It's a point of pride for me to strive to keep every piece of every spec of the 8-piece ilvl 384 sets available on the AH at all times. It was hard for me to get geared up for Pandaria when I reached 85 (not enough on the AH and I didn't know about the green armor vendors); I want to help keep our medium-pop server vibrant by making sure any new 85 doesn't quit or transfer servers for not having an easy option for getting appropriate gear. The pieces I sell are slightly better than the green vendor gear, at a slightly lower price - win-win! Yes it costs a lot in listing fees and a lot comes back to my inbox, but as long as my overall bank balance keeps going up I figure I must be doing something right.<br /><br />Bags, especially farming collection bags are another thing that improves the quality of life for a toon, and thus helps keep the server activity flowing. There's no 20-slot vendor herb bag available on Horde side, ya know! I try to make up the gap on the AH. Lowest price n-weave bags 50g apiece? - I don't think so! As long as there's n-weave to buy on the AH (priced low enough that I don't actually LOSE money in the process) I whip up a bunch and post them for 20g. If someone comes along in an hour and posts a bunch for 19g 99s 99c, or 15g, or 12g, I don't care. If mine don't sell it just saves me the hassle of crafting more! I have plenty of gold that I can throw a few g's in lost listing fees toward keeping my server market humming without it bothering me a bit. Busting up a stagnant market is priceless when it is a product like bags, so vital for toons who are just trying to go about their daily business on Azeroth.<br /><br />As a single human being (even with an army of alts and a couple of slick addons) it's just not possible for me to keep every crafted item from every profession over a span of 90 levels in stock on the AH at all times (and even if I could I'd probably go broke doing it). But I pick a couple of niches that I feel are "important" and try to keep them in continuous stock as a public service, in addition to the stuff I generally list with the specific goal of making gold.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116440969257295826.post-48145761060814790082014-01-21T17:03:51.029+11:002014-01-21T17:03:51.029+11:00Black Dragonscale is fantastic!

Warbear Woolies and Harnesses and Black Dragonscale gear doesn't sell quickly (perhaps because I charge a premium), but for people looking to level without heirlooms, they are great--and they look good too :)Maelashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299764676461290885noreply@blogger.com
