Bijous - Players want to get their reputation with the zandalar tribe up beforethe faction possibly disappears or the reputation methods change. Sell those bijous and coins for easy money. Other players who are looking to farm up the mounts will likely dump their own bijous and coins on the auction house for cheap so keep an eye out for some easy flips. Find out more about the removal of ZG at the JMTC forums.
Glyph Kits - You will want to have your glyphs ready for one of the greatest surges of buying we've ever seen in the market. Don't just stockpile inks, stockpile the glyphs themselves so you're ready to sell them the moment you finish downloading the 4.0.1 content. Also don't just stockpile the ink of the sea because in cataclysm you will no longer be able to trade ink of the sea for any ink as there will be a new top ink which fulfills this role. No word yeton whetherink of the sea will lose its functionality for trade ins with the onset of 4.0.1 but why take the chance? WARNING: Read about Charred Glyphs.
Red EpicGems - Strength and Agility are going to be the top sellers to replace the bastardized armor pen gems. Players were getting the armor pen for damage in the first place so primary stats will be where it's at for selling to them. They'll want new gems IMMEDIATELY when 4.0 hits so getting your stuff on the auction house as soon as you log in is crucial. I don't think it's wise to price your gems the night before because prices are going to skyrocket and it's really not possible to predict to any degree of accuracy where they will settle at. Posting the night before could mean more initial sales but for far less than the gems will actually be worth on patch day.
Uncommon Gems - That's right, more players will be leveling with a purpose so they'll want gems for their gear. Happily supply them with "cheap" uncommon gems such as strength, stamina and spellpower.
Remember that this patch is not cataclysm, the world is not changing all that much and the new races will not be available. Continue to stockpile my top ten mats in preparation for cataclysm
