Great.. hopefully yhose raids will be “funding themselves” soon.
@ larisa
Actually I guess the point I was trying to make (albeit badly) was that I see people throw money away every day.

Selling things at the AH (that will take a cut as well) for less than vendor price = insane.

The DE’ing thing is just easy money, but does take a bit of commitment

The selling of things for 10-50% of their value is just silly too. I accept that ppl don’t want to run Auctioneer, but there is another option (that most people aren’t aware of) which is why I brought up AskPrice

And as for my site being “special”, I am sure there are lots of other wasy I can screw it up and make it special ;-)

I almost regret it. After all it was really a bit special, it looked kind of creative. Nothing like the standard premade templates you see everywhere.

I just can’t make myself speculate on the stock market, no matter how smart and profitable it is. It’s just plain boring.

Numbers and caluculations…. It’s not the game I want to play. And I’ve got such a bad sense for smart transactions that I bet I’ll end up as a loser, no matter how I try. Bying a certain sort of primals just when they peak and then have to sell them and make losses…. That would be me in a nutshell.

At least you pity me. That’s comforting.

But yeah I should shape up a bit and at least run Auctioneer once a week to give it some data…
Thank’s for the reminder.

I re-installed AA, imported old databases, scanned the AH to within an inch of it’s life, bought about 800g worth of stock, disenchanted a couple of hundred items, bought and sold things within an hour and made 300% profit on them, and to top it all off, had a real darn tootin boy howdy genewine bidding war on some insanely under priced items as the server was shutting down last night.

I just can’t wait to log in tonight and see how many stacks of arcane dust I got for 5 – 10 silvers :) And of course put 18 quadrillion enchanting mats up for sale… and spend all my kitty on more cheap greens and things!

It only took me a bunch of years to get started, but I am finally trading the AH, thanks largely to your help and encouragement.

Good thing we don’t play on the same server ;)

THANK YOU GNOMEY!
