First if you are a profession like leatherworking or a blacksmith, make good items and sell them here. Price the buyouts a silver or 2 below what other people ask. (Higher population servers it's not as easy to pull this and drives the returns into the dumpster. It might be better to just sell to venders in that case.)
Selling blacksmithing/leatherworking goods to the vendors usually turns out to be a wash or a loss as far as money. And selling items we can make at the AH has been spotty to unsuccessful (even though I use exactly the strategy you suggest).
Trade goods seem to do much better on Doomhammer--if I could only find a good place to reliably gather them (some other threads here have made some fine suggestions I'll try out -- thanks all!)
Quote:Third know what is valueable that you can make and sell them. Some quests requrie items made by professions or there are just some items that certain other professions require (for instance elixer of defense and toughened leather gloves = elixers are 30+ silver each. Drop a stack of 2 of these for 60 silver buyout I bet you never get them sent back to you in the mail.).
Hmm, we have an alchemist. I had no idea potions did so well--I'll have him try this out!
BTW, thanks for the guild invite for Morgulis on Terenas the other night. Someday my main will be there.
