Chapter 1 - The Auction House

Understanding how to properly use the Auction House is very important so I have included an

entire chapter focused on it. In this chapter you will learn about the essential addons to use to

make buying and selling on the Auction House much easier. You will also learn about buying items

and reselling them for a high profit. I will also discuss ways in which you can find your own niche

to make tons of gold.

Finally, in this chapter you will learn about techniques including market manipulation of the prices

of items and about bidding on items and getting them extremely cheap. It is these kinds of

strategies that are discussed in this chapter that will make using and selling items on the Auction

House much easier. You will be able to quickly assess the value of items and make informed

decisions regarding pricing.

Ten Tricks to Dominate the Auction House with Auctionator

When it comes to making money on the Auction House, Auctionator is the best tool you can learn

to use. The only other addon that I use on my level 1 auction characters is MailGet, which

everyone needs to retrieve the items they buy and sell on the Auction House. Let's start by

making sure you have the right version of Auctionator installed properly.

Head to Curse Gaming and find the Auctionator Addon, when I wrote this guide it was at

http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/auctionator.aspx . There are two options,

automatic install and manual install. I have used both but I would recommend automatic install. If

you use automatic install, Curse will have you install a program called Curse Client. It will run in

your system tray and allow you to quickly and efficiently update your addons without knowing

how they work.

Otherwise, if you choose to use manual install, you will have to download updated versions

manually when new patches come out. If you choose this option, download and extract the

contents of the zip file from Curse into your World of Warcraft/Interface/Addons directory:

Once the Auctionator folder is inside your World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns folder you can load

up World of Warcraft (restart it if it's still running) and it will be installed.

Knowing Prices

The first and most important point I'm including in this section is that knowing prices is THE MOST

IMPORTANT aspect to making gold with Auctionator. Auctionator DOES NOT tell you prices

(although it gives you SOME informational tooltips), only you can figure these out. It takes awhile

to get a feel for each market, and you might make a few mistakes learning it. This is not

something I can teach you. I can't tell you that Frozen Orbs will sell between 60-80g consistently

or that Dream Shards sell above 20g pretty well so if you see them lower buy them. This is only

true for the realms I play on and at the time I wrote this section.

I'm also not going to keep these price estimates updated as time goes by, since they will

inevitably fluctuate. There is also no right answer when you ask what is a Dream Shard worth.

This is dependent on too many variables, what day of the week it is, what time of the day, how

many people are playing, if it's Super Bowl Sunday, etc. Once you get a feel for the prices you'll

realize that prices are dependent not only on the current market but also on the amount of time

you're willing to spend finding a buyer. If you post Dream Shards up for 10g they will sell in

minutes. You can sell a single Dream Shard at 30g and it will probably sell but it will take a week

or more to find a buyer. The skill here is watching the prices, logging on and posting your

inventory at the right time in the right quantities depending on how fast you want to liquidate it.

When Dream Shard demand rises above supply the Auction House will start to get depleted and

prices will rise. If you're paying attention you can post remaining inventory at higher prices and

they will sell, instead of undercutting the cheapest post.

The Shopping List

The Shopping List is an amazing feature that you've got to be aware of. Every time you do a

search with Auctionator it saves the term in the left side, (which is called Recent Searches) and it

saves the term even if it's a typo :(. Next time, all you have to do is click on the name of the item

on the left and it will automatically search for the item and list the results in the appropriate

format! You don't even need a keyboard to make hundreds of gold in a sitting with Auctionator.

'Recent Searches' gets pretty packed, pretty quick. It keeps the most recently and most popularly

searched items at the top so the typos and less often search items sink down. It's even more

effective to keep Shopping Lists of your favorite items. This way when you login you can load up

your Shopping Lists to remember the hot items you have been tracking, you won't forget to look

at Dream Shards or Small Dream Shards because they'll be right there. And best of all, you won't

need a keyboard :).

Here is what it looks like, I created a fake test list to protect the innocent.

Buy Buy Buy

The buy feature in Auctionator is amazing. It will search, sort and organize all the auctions for a

specific item. The best part is that it even shows how many items are in each price range. For

instance it will say: 3 stacks of 20 or, for example, 20 stacks of 1; this tells you a lot.

After you click on the Buy tab, all you have to do is either type in the search term or click on one

of the items on the left bar. The left bar is automatically populated with recent searches or

manually populated with items if you're viewing a shopping list. Play around with the interface to

get a feel for how it works.

The coolest thing is that it makes it so easy to buy a ton of auctions. All you have to do is click on

the row with the price that you want to pay and click buy in the bottom right. It will then prompt

you asking how many of the stacks you want to purchase. This is how I start out most of my

auction sessions. I use my recent searches on the left (or shopping lists) to search for my favorite

items. When I see the right prices I'll buy them out and post them higher.

Sell Sell Sell

The Sell tab is the most useful part of Auctionator. Instead of selling things individually, calculating

and entering the values for each item, you can rapidly sell dozens of an item in a matter of

seconds. Once you have the Sell tab selected, you just drag the item from your inventory into the

Auction Item box in the top left. You can see here I put up my 149 Relic(s) of Ulduar. Auctionator

will automatically load the list of matching items in the right column and let you select which

position you want to sell them at.

I had a friend who didn't know he could select the price on the right side, he thought that

Auctionator always undercut the lowest price. I showed him how to do this and he was extremely

pleased. In the screen shot below I will probably post the Relics above the 2g 11s or maybe above

the Relics for 2g 0s. Either way, all I have to do is select the price that I want to undercut and it

will calculate the new individual and total prices.
