Saves the cost of tranferring items between factions. I spose the next thing Blizzard will do is allow Horde and Alliance to que up together for quests, dungeons and raids!Scuggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331341805101112855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110501988676544027.post-52431626024782083112014-07-09T03:52:18.646-04:002014-07-09T03:52:18.646-04:00Boosted 90s and the coming Merge of Alliance and H...Boosted 90s and the coming Merge of Alliance and Horde AH mean mog will see a resurgence for WoD, and the weeks leading up to it as people return. <br /><br />That aside, it hasn't really died, it just slowed down. I still make @20k a week at it doing nothing but a flip scan and post every morning and evening. I stopped really farming most of it myself a while back, other than weekly AQs on a toon or 2.<br /><br />I'm holding a guild bank worth of reserve on both factions at the moment. I was considering a "sale" where in I mark down my prices for a 48 hr period and announce it in trade now and again (I've had a lot of success in clearing out some inventory doing this in the past, marking down anything I had more than 3 of), but with that announcement I nixed that thought. I only ever did it to save space, and hated doing it, lol. <br /><br />With the return of players coming with the next xpac+ the merge, I'm looking forward to higher sales on certain items, however, and certainly a lot more of them. Alliance side, I can't keep enough Ornate set and it's recolors up, but on Horde side I can't get rid of them (slutty draenei, I'm sure). Conversely, on Horde side, something like the Grunt set and it's recolors sell fast, and Alliance doesn't touch them (slutty belfs, I think). [OK, the slutty draenei and belf may be me. Maybe.] Jade set Horde side, the Chest is only 9k, whereas Alliance it is 14k. Etc yadda blah whatnot and the rest.<br /><br />I'm not certain we NEED to inflate the prices. I think the influx of demand MIGHT do it for us before we see any results from an experiment, making the results inaccurate.<br /><br />But me, I know nothing. I only dabble in the AH, don't really spend much time on it outside JC and mog. <br /><br />Which are what brought me to your blog, Phat Lewts, and I thank you, so very very much. :-D<br /><br />-Casual Gold digger<br /><br />And I don't know how I deleted that but ok.

People can obtain gear with a few friends rather than pay extortionate prices for items listed on the AH. Transmog is a gimmick that has run its course. It was big for a while after it was introduced but people have what they need now.Scuggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331341805101112855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110501988676544027.post-90120600749407063182014-07-07T03:49:41.866-04:002014-07-07T03:49:41.866-04:00Most of those look like they are trending up in pr...Most of those look like they are trending up in prices but it may also have to do with an increase in demand as transmog becomes more popular. One way to test it is to take your own sales data and create a ratio of listings/sales for some sample items. If it is inflation due to sellers, items with higher ratios would tend to see a larger percentage increase in region market price. If inflation is due increased buyer demand then lower ratio items would see larger percentage increases.M Porterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18408512349912262781noreply@blogger.com
