I first released this in the Stormspire the other day because it's a technique that immediately becomes less effective when there are many competitors who enter the market at once. And that is pretty much what the Stormspire is designed for. Decided to move it into the public forums now.
This guide contains relatively basic knowledge that items can be bought from vendors and often resold on the AH as a profit. Even though to most 1,000g isn't that much, any seasoned gold maker should by now appreciate how all the tiny trickles of income all add up in the end.
So a while ago I released my Outlands Limited Supply - A Lucrative Market Guide and it was a huge success.
Now this kind of strategy can be applied all over World of Warcraft.
Here is a quick example of how I spent 3 minutes and 32 seconds, 6 gold and came out with an estimated profit of 733 gold. Unfortunately this guide is only for the Alliance since it's based on Ironforge Vendors, but the Horde Equivalent items can be found in Orgrimmar too from the equivalent suppliers.
I know the video didn't come out all thaaaat wonderful, so below I've got a nice map for you describing where to go as well as links to all the NPCs so you can just find them on Wowhead's maps.
Somethings to keep in mind:
- Not all the items listed below were available in the video due to them not spawning at that time.
- My purchase prices might be a bit lower than yours if you are not Exalted with Ironforge.
- Yes the profit IS server dependent, and they do sell differently on different servers. Generally if there aren't any up, you should just throw the item up for 80-150g because in reality 150g is next to nothing at level 85.
