In Depth Guide to Auctioneer in World of Warcraft

What exactly is it? How can it help me make gold?

Auctioneer is simply a tracking add-on that keeps track of everything that goes in and out of the auction house. Think of it as a large database of every single transaction that takes place on the auction house. It can help you in just about any way you can imagine. It's purpose, however, is to make you a profit from anything you sell. Whether you looking to make some quick gold or you're planning on becoming the 'Gill Bates' of World of Warcraft you simply shouldn't be without this addon.

How does it work?

Once you have it installed an have ran a few scans you can start to mouse over any items in your inventory to see detailed information about it. You can see how much its worth, how often it has been see on the auction house and how much you should post the buy out and bid for depending on how many you want in a stack and how many stacks you sell. It doesn't stop there either. You can even scan for items that you can simply resell to vendors for a profit.

How to make millions of gold!!

When it comes to making all the gold in world of warcraft from the auction house, there are several obstacles you must first overcome.

• Find which items have a high % chance to sell
• Find out when the Auction House is typically over stocked
• Find out when there is a shortage on the Auction House of said item
• Constantly look at the fluctuating prices on a day to day basis
• Be mindful undercutting trends.

I'm sure you have heard the saying, "Buy low, sell high". That holds true here as well and you find that information anywhere on the net. There are some things that secrets and guides will not tell you. Things like buying items in bulk at a low price and reposting items immediately can sometimes cost you gold.

What items should I buy/sale?

This depends on your server. If you are completely in the dark however, you can visit the official world of warcraft auction tracking webpage. It's a giant list of every sold auction that takes place on every server. It's an average that is good enough to base your sales on. Don't live by it though, only use it to see which items are selling and ignore the days they are sold as those will depend on your server.

How do I know a good 'deal' when I see one?

Auctioneer makes it extremely simply to find amazing deals. Browse for anything and you will see that each auction is broken up into columns. The most important one to look at is the PCT column. It tells you at what percentage the item is being sold for based on its most seen price. For example, if you see an item listed with a 10 gold buyout and the PCT column shows 50%, it means that the item typically sells for 50% more than 10 gold. The PCT values are also color coded to make finding the deals even easier. Red means that the auction is selling way over the normal price (and will probably not sell). Yellow means the auction is at a near typical price. A green and light blue PCT value are the colors you should be looking for as those auctions are posted well below what the normal price is. Buy out green/blue PCT items whenever possible and resale those at the appropriate time.
