"Dear Markco, I have a very good idea thatI havebeen doing for quite some time
. I would like to share it with you. I have made 1000g in two days with a lvl one orc warrior by buying boatloads of copper rods from the enchanter vendor. Once you have the copper rods you sell them on the auction house for 5g each compare to the normal price of 17g each. After that wait for all your copper rod to be sold. That it. Bye, Trevor Copper Rod=1-2 silver"
There are several different ways to play this market Trevor and I've experimented with all of them on my server before making this post. Thank you for the tip btw, it's excellent!
Ok here goes the three ways you can choose to sell these rods and my recommendations:
1. You can post a dozen of these rods at 2-5 gold each and get bought out by the normal sellers who are trying to get upwards of 30 gold per rod.
2. You can compete with the primary sellers and only post 1-3 rods for a copper below the lowest price.
3. You can mix it up and do either strategy every other day depending on who else is selling and for how much.
I found that #3 worked the best, be flexible and figure out the demand on your server as well as how many people are selling. Be wary of people flooding these items and don't get upset if there's no profit to be made whenever someone new floods the market.
