Reselling is the most common and effective gold making manner in AH. In this guide, I will show you every aspect of reselling business as detail as possible and finally make you an "expert" of reselling as fast as you can expect. Now let's kick off from here:
1. Pick up the profitable items:
Thousands of items are listed in AH because people can auction anything they have. However, as resellers and profit chasers, we all appreciate to see the possible maximum return of investment as fast as possible. For that matter, we have to choose those could be sold quickly with highest profit margin. Normally, it will take a while to learn how to dot that by repeating experiencing, but I want to use a thorough explanation of items in different categories and a common profitable items list with the benefit oriented assessment to save you some time and energy.
Normally, I will look into following categories:
1. Consumable
Reagents, Potion and Herb (price will interact with it raw material: herb)
People need to have ample reagents supply in instance missions. In order to conquer the instance smoothly; they will try everything to get their replenishment ready with any cost. Reagents and potions is a stable primary market with considerable size in the whole WoW market structure. The demand of these kinds of product is very high, but the competition is harsh too. The trait of this market is that it wouldn't generate huge profit, but it certainly has less risky.
2. Equipments
Blue and purple (especially the one with outstanding status) are always expensive, because in a MMORPG, outstanding equipment could be considered as one of the highest motivations for players to throw in their
gold at all time, and the incredible profit coming from these items always remain tempting to every resellers. However, high profit usually means high risk; the demand and supply in this kind of market is relatively small in size, and reselling equipments will have a longer and unstable investment return period. Moreover, the price of these items is always fluctuating; sometimes it will even cause a holdup in sale. Therefore, to your own good, please don't start reselling equipments until you are very familiar with this business.
3. Vanity items
Unlike the necessity, the values of luxury items are depended mostly on buyers' fancy instead of their needs. How much does this fancy exactly cost? I have no clue. What I do know is that these items could normally be sold several-fold higher.
