WoW Auction House Guide

Hey everyone, and welcome to my new site, the WoW Auction House Guide.  I created this site because I’ve noticed throughout my time in World of Warcraft (I’ve been playing since release, so it’ll be 5 years in November) that a lot of players have a tough time making gold.

I personally believe that using the auction house is the quickest way to make gold in WoW.  I usually don’t spend more than 30 minutes per day playing the auction house in WoW and I come out with a few hundred gold on average.  It lets me keep my gear and enchants up to date when I’m leveling characters, and helps me stay stocked up for raids on my level 80 characters.

I didn’t really think I was doing anything special until I started a new character on a new (to me) server to play with a buddy from work.  He hit 80 on his Paladin and was asking in guild if he could borrow a couple of hundred gold so he could afford dual specialization, and I offered to loan it to him.  He was blown away!  He had no idea how a level 22 mage could possibly afford to loan someone a couple of hundred gold.

Immediately the questions started coming.  Did I buy the gold?  Did I transfer a character over to the server that he didn’t know about?  Was I scamming people?  I rode out the wave of questions and when he couldn’t think of anything else to accuse me of, we had the following exchange.

Me:  “Don’t you use the auction house?”

Him:  “Yeah, sure, everyone uses the auction house, but what are you auctioning to make that much gold?”

Me:  “Well… Pretty much anything, as long as it makes a profit.”

Him:  “… Teach me.”

At that point, I figured he couldn’t be the only one struggling to get dual-spec or epic flying, so I thought if I’m going to type it out, I might as well let the whole World of Warcraft see it, or at least anyone willing to put the effort into finding it.

So there you have it.  We’ll get into the meat of it later, but for now, welcome to my WoW Auction House Guide, and I hope your stay is a profitable one.   We’ll chat more later.
