AH at Booty Bay
So i allready talked about beeing a merchant in WoW.
What do i mean by that? Well after the introduction of WoW Tokens in WoW,
making Gold got really interessting.
So i created a goblin (ofc), and tryed out different ways making gold.
I started with farming felblight (Did that with Reegna back than).
I farmed different spots with different technics in Tanaan Jungle.
(Mining, Fishing, and Skinning - With the last two beeing the most lucrative once).
I also managed to get a Medallion that i sold for 9k.
I farmed Giant Dino Bones in Pandaria and so on.
While farming i spent a decent time at the Auction House in Ogrimmar in
Vale of Spirits. There i met Toquar (who is currently nr. 8 top seller at our server).
He sat there every day with his lvl 2 Troll shaman. I asked him if he is a trader, and told
him that i sell Felblight and farm a lot.
He just said, that he stopped farming ages ago, when he recognized how much money
can make, selling transmog.
One thing lead to another, and a month later i made 350.000 gold with a profit 179.000 gold
and the rest of it reinvested in transmog assetts. I did that with flipping transmog gear on the auction house.
The principle is simple:
1. Buy low, sell high.
2. Read TUJ and TSM price news.
3. Get the TSM Addon (with the Desktop APP).
4. Learn TSM.
5. Make loads of money.
So here is the thing.
Making money in WoW is not only nice, but also it is really fun.
It is its own kind of gameplay. Its about gathering and analyzing information,
knowing your competion and beeing at the right time at the right place.
To start my first auction house spotlight i choose, the best auction house for traders in Azeroth.
The AH in Booty Bay. Not only is this place super peaceful, and real cool place to hang out, it also has all a trader needs, with out having to move one inch.
A trader needs:
1. An auctioneer (ofc). To do the shopping and selling.
2. A mailbox. That is very important, as all goods bought at the AH will come to you via the mailbox.
3. A bank. The bank is good for storing things in, that you want to sell at a later time.
The AH at Booty Bay is the only place i know of, that has all of this three things very very close togehter.
So naturaly i choose this to be my hometown, and the place i hang around most of my first 60 lvls.
There i met Essenz. He Nr. 1 seller of our server since i started the trading thing. I even made a ally gnome rouge, just to tell him that i admire his work. (He wasn't very talkative though).
If you ever want to get into the trading business, Booty Bay is your place to be.
