The Best Way to Sell Farmed Items
WoW Gold Farming is a big part of making Gold in the World of Warcraft, but a lot of people are doing it all wrong.
Farming, Skinning, Looting etc is the easy part, it’s the selling of the materials that is the hard part. Most people take the material they have been farming, head to the auction house and list their stacks just a little bit lower than the already lowest price.
This is totally backwards, and here is why…
You spend so much time farming these items so why would you sell yourself short and list these items for the lowest price. It makes no sense. Instead you need to maximize your profits so that farming is worth your time. Besides, you know that someone else if going to come along and list their stack at even cheaper than your, and someone else is going to their stack even cheaper. And the cycle continues.
Did you notice that even when this type of thing happens, your stack usually sells even though there are other people with stacks cheaper than yours?
Let’s analyze why this happens with an example of Linen Cloth. When someone decides to learn first aid they need around 120 Linen Cloths (12 stacks) to get their skill up to 80. To get started they will normally head to the AH to pick up 12 stacks of Linen Cloth. They will of course purchase the cheapest stacks first and then gradually move up to the next price category and begin purchasing the more expensive stacks.
During peak playing time (ie weekends) this happens all the time. Players are constantly leveling up their skills and purchasing large amounts of farmed material from the AH. So instead of your material at the lowest price, try increasing your asking price and post the auctions on the weekend. You will see a huge increase in the amount of gold you make farming.

[...] I will check the weapons category first and then check the armour category next. I am searching for items that can be disenchanted that are valued at less than the average price of a single strange dust. So in my example the average price of a strange dust was 15 silver, so I purchase every green item that I can afford that is selling for less than 15 silver. Once you have purchased enough items head to the mail box and pick up the items you purchased and begin disenchanting them. These items will disenchant into strange dust, greater magic essence, and lesser magic essence. When you have finished disenchanting all of the items you need to head back to the AH and start listing the materials that the items disenchanted into.
