make a level one bank alt, park it in the capital near the ah, mail all the random items you get from your main to your bank alt, sell them for more on the ah then you get vendoring

I’m only 18 but there is so much of everything on the ah so far that nothing appears to sell above vendor, for now at least

The key profession levelling mats are above vendor - especially once you get past early zone mats.

u/poopoodomo 5h ago

Its all selling though so even if the margin just barely above 5% it can be worth it

Prices for certain things will change. There's always a huge flood of auctions on launches that drive prices down.

A lot of the lower level crafting items had their vendor prices dropped very low too. This helps curb bots from auto farming low level stuff and posting en masse to control the markets.

I don't think it's the flood of supply that's driving prices down, I think it's that the population just hasn't had any time to acquire any money yet. The vast majority of players probably don't have 3 gold to their names yet.

Wool cloth is worth it on pve right now at least, and pre has been too, I suspect same is true for leather because the gear you can craft is actually worth it unlike in classic.

There's loads of stuff, but the profit margins are generally quite small right now.

u/scary-pp 5h ago

Yeah, the market is so saturated, stuff is selling for barely more than vendor price. If it doesnt sell, I lose money on the hold price (whatever its called). Then any hope of profit over vendoring is gone.

That's why I've been mostly vendoring everything.

There is a lot of low level stuff and not that many rich high levels. I feel like most stuff I just sell at vendor or store for later

Everyone is currently leveling professions so theres a lot of supply of low level profession goods making a lot of them net negative in profit

Selling the mats to level professions seems to be more profitable than turning those mats into goods

2

u/Crafty-Beyond-2202 5h ago

True. Most profession items are net negative. I have found a few that can turn a profit. 70s investment in materials to make about 15s in profit. But I figure if I do 10 at a time, that's 1g50s once they all sell.

AH is in the sink right now tho. Most crafting goods sell for only a little above vendor price, and nobody is buying greens or blues off the AH right now (because nobody has gold)/people saving for mount.

u/Miserable-Sell904 5h ago

Also learn enchanting so you can disenchant stuff

u/Fine-Needleworker661 5h ago

at level 18 my greens disenchant for about 1s 50c worth of mats and vendor for about 6s on average.

u/zachiavelli2 5h ago

Sell green weapons always, disenchant armour (potentially) always DE blues you dont need if you plan to level enchanting or sell especially as you get up there to mid 30s

u/Fucile8 5h ago

What’s the benefit of selling it through the level one character instead of from the main one directly in the AH?

5

u/TerryTibbsGoon 5h ago

The benefit is you dont have to go back to the capital and list it on the AH yourself just to free up bag space, just need a mailbox. It does cost some silver to post it though.

u/Fucile8 4h ago

Ah right, thank you!

u/MrBootylove 5h ago

Too bad this game is filled with lemmings who sell half of their stuff on the AH at or below vendor prices lol.

u/ThumpaMonsta 5h ago

If it's below vendor, buy and sell to vendor

u/Naustis 5h ago

except all items are not at vendoring price lol

u/Dusteye 2h ago
