I never make bad buying decisions.<BR/><BR/>/uncross fingers<BR/><BR/>Good catch. A little Excel Pivot Table user error. When I buy a stack at a good price when a market is fairly saturated I'll only post a few at a time. So what you're seeing is me only reselling part of the original stack.<BR/><BR/>I have made plenty of bad decisions, and will make a ton more, but this isn't one of them. I'll be going back in and updating those values so it's clear why the resale is lower.<BR/><BR/>E.L. - I would have posted an update much earlier but things got kinda busy. Plus, due to freakish bad luck, the dog deleted my post. And the sun was in my eyes.

All servers are down....just write something, anything....I need it!<BR/><BR/>Let me be totally cereal. I stumbled on your blog while searching for an add on and I'm so glad I did. I've been doing everything wrong when it comes to AH but still thinking I was doing great because I was making a profit. Well, now I realize how much (or little) I was getting back on my investments.

I'm...Dammerung - Thanks for lurking and the props! <BR/><BR/>I'm thinking that Orc fixation is an acquired taste - like scrapple.<BR/><BR/>Omellete - Day 5! Don't rush me :)<BR/><BR/>You're right about the Epics, and even the blues. Before the 2.3.2 patch that made leveling faster (I think that was the patch), blues could go for more because players could get a lot more use out of them. And being stuck in those mid-level grinds is a lot more fun if you got some shiny blue toys run around with. Now that leveling is faster people are going to think twice on those premium prices for blues (there are exceptions - some blues are holding value).<BR/><BR/>Good advice.<BR/><BR/>No(Healbot) - Saw that latest preview release, and was holding off a little before posting an update. I'll give it some fanfare later on today.<BR/><BR/>The mail mod I use is OpenAll that I found accidentally when grabbing the Omen add-on. I used to use CT_Mail but it was uber-buggy and slow. OpenAll rocks my world - simple and fast. That alongside Blizzard's update a while ago that allowed you to mass-send e-mail (that's also much faster) I've had no complaints.<BR/><BR/>For your second question - I almost always aim for bargains at 50% off their market price or better. Even with blues. You can make a strong argument that flipping 40 items at a 66% (originally 30% of its mark) profit is better than 15 at 100% profit (50% off its mark). But that's been my MO.<BR/><BR/>Though I am going to take a hard look at my data and might change it up to see what happens.Oghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09594127847134479370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276927075744004400.post-53554176318814044442008-01-28T13:07:00.000-05:002008-01-28T13:07:00.000-05:00Bleh, above comment was from me, multiple GMail ac...Bleh, above comment was from me, multiple GMail accounts ftw!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01643805427613225444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276927075744004400.post-39794772891024033332008-01-28T13:06:00.000-05:002008-01-28T13:06:00.000-05:00Firstly, the latest Auctioneer update (released ye...Firstly, the latest Auctioneer update (released yesterday) seems to solve the Search Auction problem. I downloaded it and ran it, yah I'm a sucker for updated software, I just can't resist!<BR/><BR/>Secondly, I have two questions for you. <BR/><BR/>1) What is the mail mod you use to give you those two buttons at the bottom of the mail ? I use CT-Mailmod, but it oftens crashes. <BR/><BR/>2) I assume as you start delving into blues and purples you will lower your less than percentage, or do you keep it on 30% ?<BR/><BR/>Gratz on lvl 11 and [Plunging Neckline] :)Healbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02635399402744665406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276927075744004400.post-32106290773046086592008-01-28T12:33:00.000-05:002008-01-28T12:33:00.000-05:00Hehe, I'll agree with dammerung -- our Resto Shama...Hehe, I'll agree with dammerung -- our Resto Shaman too has a rack that would stop a train!<BR/><BR/>;-)<BR/><BR/>Anywho, I've been following along with your progress and I think that after 6 days, starting with essentially nothing, you're doing spectacularly. It's a bit easier if you're on a new server (my server's market is so mature, that it's very difficult to find any decent bargains anymore), but you're really doing well.<BR/><BR/>As you move up, I'd caution you to no longer put so much trust in the epic recipes for the armor/weapon crafting skills. The easy availability of S1 gear has pretty much destroyed that market.Omellettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907878695738142967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276927075744004400.post-22211838269545557132008-01-28T12:24:00.000-05:002008-01-28T12:24:00.000-05:00Plunging Orc neckline?
