WHAT IS A COMMODITY? A commodity is a good or service that is subject to ready exchange or exploitation within a market, typically these are heavilly traded goods or services. This is however a very broad term, and sometimes requires a qualifier. In World of Warcraft I tend to sort items into simple and complex [...]
Today’s entry is on the general subject of pricing and the specific topic of being your own worst enemy on the AH. Let’s say you have three different things to sell, A, B, and C. A is for max level players with a lot to spend, B is for people that are almost at the [...]
And why does it not change? How does it stay the same no matter what game your playing? Because at it’s core what drive the AH to function are people and we never change. The lazy people on wow are going to be lazy on Rift, the morons will stay morons, and the goblins will [...]

When should I make my first bank alt? Well I would recommend making your first bank alt Once you reach 700g. you will want to transfer 100-200 g to your bank alt. It is possible to make a bank alt succeed with less than this amount of gold but it will be much harder and [...]
Druids of the Talon and Shadow Wardens It no longer matters which faction you choose to unlock first after Blizzard hot-fixed the one giving an extra daily quest. You have to pick one to unlock first, which requires 150 tokens, then you will have to unlock the other one, which is an additional 150 tokesn. So 300 [...]

Today Marco published a blog post regarding buying and selling gold, or in general, the sale of virtual items.

Geek Dictionary defines [...]

Can I turn a 6 tab guild bank with 56,000 gold into the gold cap? This is a task I have taken on with my current guild. They don’t know it yet, but I will try to turn that 56k into 214k or at least double the amount of gold in the bank. I think [...]
This may seem like a no brainer to most, but sometimes even the brightest people need reminding. The moment I started crafting Trial of the Crusader bind on on equip patterns I developed a good feel for what those patterns sell for. As I did that i slowly picked up on what other BOE epic [...]
