What a super fun series. Would it be possible for you to do a short TSM Video on how you setup your groups? Would love to see that!

[@astralfields]

Seconded. TSM is amazing but setting up groups and operations is of utmost importance.

Great idea, will try and get one out for you guys :)

I've been big on item flipping since 2011. I've been doing pretty well I came into tbc with 20 or so gold and I'm up to 450k or so in that time frame. I would love to do this challenge as well!

[@miroslavhajek3996]

amazing format, very captivating! you've got a lot of potential depending where you take this serie

[@Jtfyoo]

Continue with this series! The series is hitting a nerve. seeing your subscriptions rise and the view count compared to your other videos is sick. absolutly love it.

[@nicb6869]

Haha thanks ! Will keep banging out as many episodes as possible :)

[@kaliakoudis]

Ur series has gotten me hooked! Small tip for you that would actually also be more pleasing to my eyes. If you plan on flipping primals and don't mind, you could actually add the motes to your castbar. You got plenty of space and it would be a easier to spam a button a couple of times, or even click on a single button instead of finding the motes inside your bag. It would also look cooler I think :D

[@Surmise_This]

To tip, just give around a gold, and a Teleport Reagent. That'll cover travel, and make the "Trip worth the Tip!"

[@HammaTime422]

This is actually such a well done series, super addictive and really interesting!

[@nicb6869]

THanks, been a real blast to make so i'm pumped you like it :D

This series is great, I’m looking forward to more episodes :)

[@nicb6869]

Thanks a lot, will look forward to update you guys as frequently as possible !

[@slambox3301]

I would tip the enchanter more specially just cause there is no auto shatter function he has to click enchant each time. Not exactly hard to do, but more of a pain In the ass than say making potions. Great video keep em coming.

[@nicb6869]

Well said, Hindsight this type of craft is probably more painful then a combination of 2-3 regular enchants, so probably will try and bump up the tips for next time if I end up re-doing this type of flip

[@TheMorpher80]

I am actually loving this challenge man... super fun to watch and i actually look for new upload from you daily!

Just found your channel & series. Really enjoying it! Makes me want to resub and flip for fun

[@keithkorandanis4656]

I love your comment about people using the cheap minor speed to boots enchant. Check the list. Some of them are in your raid.

[@thomaslevitt9266]

Showing some of your tsm strings would be awesome. I regularly do things like this on my server. Don't wanna blow up my spot too much but Ive been buying swifthistle and making thistle tea out of it since I learned the recipe on my rogue and it's almost always very profitable. Especially before raid times

[@nicb6869]

[@lupebogi]

This should be taught in schools. Personal Finance 101 It's quite fascinating to me how you can predict to reach your goal in 12-14 episodes. No doubt that some people can do this even in real life. The same rules apply, there are only different "addons".

[@nicb6869]

Oh for sure! It's just sort of predicting what people will buy and for what reasons :)

[@leonardomino7547]

Love the video! Just showing how can you get gold even at low lvl using action house at full! If you could recomend me a guide on how to get started on TSM would be awesome, i try to use the addon but i'm not capable of getting the juice of it cause my incompetence :c good video! Trying to learn from it

[@nicb6869]

I'll try and show a quick how to in the coming days, if you don't worry about all the setitngs it can actually be very simple to use :) cheers!

[@12albino34]

Im farming Dark runes in scholo, which means i also find a good amount of aquamarines, and in my experiance, they do sell all the time, but they are kinda slow, i sell them for 70-85s each

[@nicb6869]

Nice! Ye I think I might have been a bit too rushed to sell them. I'm sure if I kept them and constantly listed at a higher price they would of sold over time. But I felt the ;iquidity was maybe a better route then waiting an extra week

[@JamesEtallaz]

You can also buy limited amounts of basic herbs or ores from vendors in SW or IF for example. Worth a shot.

[@nicb6869]

Nice idea, not sure what types of herbs they have in stock but I might check it out, thanks!

[@adamgustafsson7703]

You do know tsm has an identical post system, where you just browse the item by clicking it from bag, then you just mark the row you want to undercut and tsm will undercut by 1c or smt like that.

[@nicb6869]

Ye I know, I think it's just a matter of habbit, I've always preffered listing on auctionator for whatever reason. Even if my brain say tsm would be a lot faster, I still prefer doing it through auctionator lmao

Been flipping nexus crystals since TBC Classic came out and they are a guaranteed sell. Have been flipping items on the ah for quite some time and it's the best way to earn gold if you dont like grinding mobs. Looking forward to your videos. Keep it up!

[@Pytte]

small prismatic shards sell cheaper than nexus on my server..

[@nicb6869]

Ye, it seems to be fluctuating a lot of my server, at times nexus crystals aren't even worth it to buy, and sometimes there's pretty wild margins

[@ThornTheMagnificent]

@@Pytte Same for me, I was hoping for some easy flip money after seeing the video, but no dice :(

[@nexzus1000]

So what I've have experience is, if you flood the market with a lot of action of one type of item. It's more likely to be flooded from other players under vendor price, and if your lucky to such a low price you can earn back the listing cut you used. I've have used that tack on cloth manny times

[@nicb6869]

hmm interesting, that's not a bad strategy. Just have to pray that someone else isn't going to come in and reset the market befor you can buy the under vendor priced items

[@nexzus1000]

NicB yea it's an stay online strategy

[@nicb6869]

[@overload1439]

Hey great videos! Is there any way you could share your TSM shopping profiles? I'm loving TSM especially the mailing but their is a lot of setup to do and I am unsure about what the percentages and profit/loss settings should be set to. And in the past I have had issues with TSM posting things for the wrong price even though I found the items using TSM search profiles. Again, great videos, thank you for sharing your work!

[@TheschwartzB]

Tip whatever you like. If someone accepts the deal then it's not for you to decide if it's fair or not. They've already made the choice.

[@Apoxiosis]

really glad im not the only weirdo that uses both auctionator and tsm. tsm is cool but fuck i wish they didnt redesign the whole UI. auctionator is nice and familiar, looks the same as the default ah window.

[@nicb6869]

Pretty much! I just never enjoyed how tsm felt for the selling aspect. The search UI for TSM is unbeatable, but god do I hate it's selling UI

[@ThornTheMagnificent]

It might be just matter of getting used to. I always use TSM to post and it has really useful features, it automatically minimum undercuts the exact line you click on. You can also easily adjust stack sizes and it allows you to set price both per item or per stack, whichever you prefer.

[@madchessLeviathan]

gems are good sellers but slow sellers and if you really want a good price you might have to pass on setting them on some days, but got rid of almost all of mine from clasic, bars from classic sells for so much more in tbc since there is no competition farming it, but AH only might make that tricky since people won't post thorium bars for 5g a stack when they can get 30g.

[@nicb6869]

Hell ye! I've been shying away from gems due to their high deposit costs for listings, but I think i'll try more of them out in the near future :)
