Gold Secrets Auction House Control Primer

The secrets to unlimited auction house gold in WoW

Let’s go ahead and outline the process.  As I mentioned, we’ll get into each one in more detail later.  If you consider yourself fairly auction house savvy, this may be enough to get you started.

  1. Find A Niche – Depending on  how much gold you have to invest, you can go as broad or deep as you choose.  Things to consider are ease of access, free alternatives, scarcity, and maximum profit potential.
  2. Create an Alt – The simple fact of it is, if you take a market, you will have your fair share of haters.  Better that they send their hate mail to a level 1 alt than your main.  It should go without saying, but make sure the name isn’t similar to any of your “real” toons.
  3. Move Gradually – You need to make sure your niche is going to have more gold flowing in than out.  Find out what the “best seller” of your niche is, buy it out, and relist it at a markup.  Keep in mind that auction house domination requires you to take over the niche completely, so if you can’t afford to buy out the whole shebang, either go deeper into the niche or choose a different one.
  4. Measure Success – Are you making more gold than you are spending?  If so, continue on to step 5, otherwise head back to step 1.
  5. Expand – Take your gold income to the next step by broadening your control.  If you are already at the top level of a market, now is the time to expand into other niches.

As we expand on the key points here, you’ll be equipped with all of the info you need to become an expert at auction house domination.  Stay tuned for more WoW gold secrets!
