I stumbled across a tool which I'm finding useful so I thought I would share it.
It's called The Undermine Journal, and it's a site that refreshes and records WOW AH activity across all realms.
For example, Mongo Jerry and I were chatting one day about Inscriptions. This TUJ site has details on crafts -- such as a handy "Hot List" that shows which Inscriptions are worth doing and the current average price. At that time, I was finding tons of people selling popular Inscriptions for a fraction of their value, so I bought hundreds of them and piled them up in my bank and waited for the winds to change. They did within a few weeks and I was able to multiply my investment 10 fold.
I feel that most WOW players are pretty reckless in their approach to the AH in general, which leads to commodity volatility. This is hard for people who craft up a bunch of stuff spending hundreds of gold, only to find that the AH is glutted with the same items at ridiculously low prices (below cost). This tool helps me to know what to craft, and when to craft.
And, I'm often unsure what is a reasonable price to put on things. So another thing I use TUJ for is to help me determine a reasonable price (adjusted for what we know about our realms population).
