Well the Lich King expansion is here. In many ways, it is even better than I had expected....the quests are much more imaginative and fun, many of the mobs are new, the tuskarrs are really adorable, and so on. One thing I have noticed to my vast disappointment, is they have pretty much elimanated any new sources of making gold, without farming. None of the new vendors have recipes that you can resell in the AH, none of the vendors have items that are resellable, either. This is at least so far, I have not gotten past Dragonblight yet. The only thing I have found to resell is some toys in a shop across from the Alliance portals place in Dalaran....and since they are one use only and already sell for 42 silver, the profit margin is pretty low. From what I understand, even the first aid book is a drop that is BOP. The cool ghostly skull pet you can buy in the sewers is also BOP. It almost feels like Blizzard deliberately shut down any means of making gold by reselling items you find at vendors. I don't know about you, but I was very disappointed by that.

How to make Gold and Enemies at the Same Time
I know I promised to finish the post on professions, and I will soon, but today I want to talk about something else. Something that REALLY bugs me.
If you have been playing WoW for any length of time, and do regular business in the AH, or sometimes if you even just subscribe to the Trade Channel, there is probably one person whose name keeps coming up. There is usually at least one on every server. You know who I mean.....the guy that buys up every epic and blue in the AH and then doubles or triples the price and puts them back in. Or the guy that buys every single primal of a particular type, on a regular basis, and then puts them back in the AH for double the price. These guys make gold, and lots of it......but only at the expense and misery of others. Is it worth it ? I don't think so, but then, I feel bad for ruining people's fun and profiting at the expense of others. Apparently these guys don't care who they hurt to get ahead.
I have found that these people usually end up making so much gold that they end up trying to sell it to gold companies, they eventually get caught and disappear. (Blizzard watches these people, closely, because so many people file complaints on them for destroying the economy)
Unfortunately that is not the case with one of these types on my server. Either he is extremely slick at not getting caught, or he does not sell his gold, because we have had to put up with his sorry butt for over a year now. I WANT TO STRANGLE HIM ! Because of him, Auctioneer's prices are totally unreliable on most blues and all epics. He has been overcharging for so long that he has "taught" Auctioneer that his ludicrous prices are the norm. I have preached to people over and over to stop buying his stuff completely, it is the only way to get rid of him, but they don't listen or don't care. He carefully guards the identity of the toon he plays for real so people don't KOS him. There really is nothing anyone can do about him and it's very frustrating.
This is a pet peeve of mine I could vent about for hours, but I will spare you :) The moral of the story is: DON'T make your gold at the expense of others. It is a lousy thing to do no matter how you look at it and it will make you the most disliked player on your server.

A Quick Way to Make a Few Gold With NO work
Woo hoo.....was a fun weekend, but I am glad it's over. Too much partying and fun is exhausting. :) Time to get back to business ! Since everyone is probably still recovering today, like I am, I will make it short. A quick and easy way to make a few gold in the AH with basically no work. You will need some gold to start with, to use this method, 50 to 100 should be enough unless you run into some really good deals.
It's really pretty basic. You simply check the price of each of the primals....earth, life, shadow, fire, air, mana. One at a time, you see if any of them are selling (buyout) for at least two gold less than the majority of the others for sale. You buy them, and immediately put them back in the AH for the going rate. I guarantee they will sell before the day is over if you underbid the cheapest one there.
I did this with primal mana, just a few minutes ago. There were three of them in the AH for a buyout of 14 gold. The next cheapest one was (buyout) of 17g 75s. I quickly bought the three for 14 and put them back in the AH for 17g 50s. Two of the three had already sold by the time I was done doing my auctions.
There you have it. An easy 10+ gold with no work. Just check the primal market every day and there is a good chance you can find a deal or two for some quick cash. You can also do this with enchanting mats, like large prismatic shards. Don't forget to scroll down to the bottom to check out the price per item for stacks and partial stacks. They may be cheaper to buy in bulk and you can sell them one at a time for more.
Have a good rest of the day !
