Goldthorn is still one of my best old world mats to pick up off the AH and re-post. I buy any Goldthorn on my server which is <7g per herb and re-post for 12g per herb. Even if I buy at my top line of 7g per herb that's still a 100g profit on a stack of 20. 12g per herb is pretty much the top rate on my server but it pretty much always sells at this price point. To my mind this is one of the key skills for gold-making in WoW - knowing your market pricing inside out. I still see Goldthorn undervalued all the time, often as low as 1g per herb - mana from heaven!Robert Waddellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14772549262911827482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690056124011845308.post-91201040461780406932012-11-04T22:35:38.445+00:002012-11-04T22:35:38.445+00:00Mogram, I agree to a certain point as in no time o...Mogram, I agree to a certain point as in no time or inclination to go farming but having them on a snatch/shopping list & just flipping or storing for later use takes almost no time at all. For newer goldmakers or players leveling monks or pandas through these areas, it's a nice reminder of the value of some of the stuff they will most likely be picking up.<br /><br />There seems to be quite a few people on my server willing to pay 25-30g for these items (obviously more for the essence of air)& I rarely get them back from a 48hr listing. Considering they could have cost me as little as 25s, it's all good in my books :)Nevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10570175016961442358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690056124011845308.post-68168766414216609422012-11-04T21:39:20.076+00:002012-11-04T21:39:20.076+00:00To be honest Nev, the margins are so small on old ...To be honest Nev, the margins are so small on old world items and the new content still so fresh providing a much more profitable market, I haven't really had the time or inclination to go farm up old stuff like this.<br /><br />Whilst it all adds up at the end of the day, even flipping on the AH for 20g here 30g there is fairly slow when you can pop up a crafted blacksmith item and sell for 300g profit in 30 mins.<br /><br />I think the old world mats market would have to be very server dependent and if you want to dabble, I'd be aiming for bottleneck mats (where you can get them) as they represent more realistic returns on your time investment.<br /><br />That said, if you can put these old world items on your shopping list and repost / manage with TSM, it would take a lot of the leg work out of managing such markets and in turn, might be moderately profitable.Austackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493769923008730138noreply@blogger.com
