This doens't mean just checking the AH for an item once and then basing your prices on that - you need to be checking that market frequently over time to get a good feel for the 'normal' market value of the items.<br />The Undermine Journal can be a big help here but I don't think there is any substitute for understanding what flows 'through' that market - peaks, troughs etc.Robert Waddellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14772549262911827482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690056124011845308.post-49121309261673080282013-01-23T20:28:05.990+00:002013-01-23T20:28:05.990+00:00I do think this person who asked for help has a mo...I do think this person who asked for help has a more fundamental issue. How do you have those skills and toons and so little gold. Going from 85-89 easily gets you more gold than 1,000g. The fundamental aspect of what I find is missing from many of those that dont have gold is they buy off the AH without paying attention to what the prices are. Many goods fluctuate greatly over the period of a week. Pick your market, watch basic goods and learn when to buy. This will also help you learn what and when to sell.<br /><br />You can sell anything. There really is not a wrong answer just learn your server. Given what he has I would still definitely recommend jc to level and sell. Easy gold with many options available on what can be sold even if you dont have an alchemist or an enchanter. One item that is worth noting is you can research the jc patterns by just using the cheapest rare gem to research. One you learn all of that colour you will learn every other recipe. Not a quick solution but a cheap one. I would pick blue to start with and go from there.<br /><br /> But I really dont think what items to sell is his issue. He needs a process and an understanding of the market. Best explanation was given by Marco in his early podcasts on gold making. If those are still available I do recommend them for anyone getting started. Start slow, take your time and just be patient.<br />Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05684907179614745833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690056124011845308.post-56590980246335440802013-01-23T10:44:15.518+00:002013-01-23T10:44:15.518+00:00Thank you so much guys - I haven't started wit...Thank you so much guys - I haven't started with my tailor yet so I was (wrongly)assuming it would be similar to Leatherworking.

The lower level tailoring epics and the i450 PvP gear are a much better (and safer) bet IMO.Robert Waddellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14772549262911827482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690056124011845308.post-16395195235430397772013-01-23T09:24:59.027+00:002013-01-23T09:24:59.027+00:00+2 Tailswish!

There is a fair bit of competition though so you most likley will need to be prepared to cancel and repost on a regular basis to maintain steady sales.<br />I also still make a lot of money on Cata bags (Embersilk and Illusionary) especially if you can pick-up Chaos Orbs for a reasonable price as there is no cooldown on creating Dreamcloth if you are using Chaos Orbs.<br />TBH, even though the prices are not massive, I love the fact that the Tailoring Epic crafted items don't require Spirits of Harmomny - I find farming them to be a real pain...Robert Waddellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14772549262911827482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690056124011845308.post-30519752901159063582013-01-23T04:16:08.857+00:002013-01-23T04:16:08.857+00:00I've gotten my hands on (and paid plenty for) ...I've gotten my hands on (and paid plenty for) all of the 496 tailoring recipes, and they sell verrrry slowly, plus they are expensive to craft because of the Blood Spirits, so being in clover might not happen. On the other hand, the PvP recipes are cheap to make and the profit margin is good, but you have to be aware that there's quite a bit of competition on the AH, at least on my server.Maelashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299764676461290885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690056124011845308.post-45111188650781782852013-01-22T19:50:16.701+00:002013-01-22T19:50:16.701+00:00+1 Tailswish.

On my server, they only sell at below cost price now. Same with spellthreads. If I could get my hands on the ilvl 496 recipes, I'd be in clover.<br /><br />I'd definitely agree with your last item, Nev. Pandaren meats are in short supply, and they're easy to pick up while levelling. Also, skinners could hang around the dailies locations and pick up free leather.Dàchénghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994982502333811797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690056124011845308.post-91501237339687348652013-01-22T19:15:32.960+00:002013-01-22T19:15:32.960+00:00The only thing I would say is that I don't nec...The only thing I would say is that I don't necessarily agree with your Tailoring advice. I think the PvP patterns are not just a means to an end, but a very profitable end in and of themselves. Depending on the server, crafted epics can often be difficult to sell, especially at what they should be probably be worth.<br /><br />Granted, tailoring's a bit of a special case among the gear professions because its epics don't take Spirits. In that sense, costs will always be fairly low, and it's hard not to make at least some profit on everything. Still, check out the crafted PvP gear market. The profit in terms of gold per piece often doesn't seem like much, but the margin is excellent. More importantly, there's a much steadier flow of buyers than there is for the epics.Tailswishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18379493821257467748noreply@blogger.com
