- Always have the biggest bags you can.
- NEVER throw anything away that you get while questing, and if you have to, then toss singles and not stacks.
- Make an auction house toon, no matter how low level your main is.
The first two are self explanatory, so let's talk about the last one. You need to have a toon in your gold making arsenal that does nothing but sit in a capital city and be a businessman/woman. When you are out questing, every time you are near a mailbox, stop and do a "bag dump." This means you mail everything you have collected while questing to you AH toon. In the begining, I mailed everything, but after I learned what was garbage and what I could sell, I just sent the latter and vendored the rest. It can be a bit tricky to know the which is which and you have to be diligent to notice the difference between Lifeless Stone (garbage) and Solid Stone. (used by Jewelcrafters and Engineers) If you are too new to the game to know what to vendor, then mail everything and look items up on Thottbot.
You may be thinking that its a lot of trouble to go through to sell a green or a gray for few silver, but actually it's not. Just mail all your stuff to the AH toon, and then once every day or two (I recommend not more than that) you log into your AH guy and you dump everything into the Auction House and let nature take it's course. Next time you log in, you will have gold waiting for you ! Get in the habit of doing this every time you play and the gold you earn stacks up. If you don't know what to charge for items, check in the AH to see the going rate or use Auctioneer. (I will go into using Auctioneer, in more detail, in the future.....it is essential)
Now I know that my techniques are not for the average player. Many people I play with think I am crazy for bothering to sell everything I run across. I just smile, knowing I have epic flying mounts for all five of my 70's. Do they ? Usually not.....so you tell me who is crazy ? :)
Cya for today !
