This is awesome. Keep the bags.

[@nicb6869]

Thanks for the input!

[@jeppet3580]

Was gonna like comment, but it is at 69, so better leave it

[@Rockmaster867]

Yeah keep the bags, having no bags just slows down the initial few gold really

[@breadandjam1]

Really enjoyed this! Looking forward to watching progress - as someone who is TERRIBLE on the AH this stuff is like the dark arts to me.

[@nicb6869]

lmao, hope you get a few tips and tricks from this series, but don't worry, i'm sure i'll be making a bunch of terrible choices too :P

[@Durrtyboy]

one of my favorite things i did in a game was when i was about 14 or so i started playing ff10 online i had no idea how to play a mmo but damn could i fish i found a stack of fish that was easy to catch and sold them on the auction house over the next few weeks instead of playing the game and lvling up i just sold fish i eventually made enough gil i could buy out all the other fish on the market they started at 4k i got them up to 12k i did this for a few weeks i ended up making a million plus gil bought everything i wanted for my character all the best fishing gear showed my friend that didnt believe me then without giving anyone any money at all i stopped playing the game altogether i didnt even make it to lvl 20 i didnt know where to go but damn could i fish

[@nicb6869]

Haha love it! Games have many different aspects to them, and doing whatever is fun for you is always the most important thing. Even if that's not what everyone else is doing, Cheers!

That's so nice to watch. I wanted to do that sort of thing like from when I first saw how the AH works with all of those cool addons these days. Keep it going please!

[@nicb6869]

Thanks so much, will try and keep posting regularly for you fam

[@TSMCMinecraft]

I think you should keep the bags

[@rupexo]

great idea!! i love playing the auction house, it's an amazing way to make gold if you know what you're doing so i can't wait to see your gold stack up! keep it up.

[@nicb6869]

Hell ye, it can be more lucrative then some gold farms at times for sure

[@TheRealDigitalDecaf]

Great series so far, definitely going to watch the rest, Also, I would love a simple tutorial on how to set up TSM for basic flipping, I'm not sure how it comes out of the box vs how yours is but I've heard there is a little set up time, and I know a lot of people would love that!

[@jonaswestin9383]

What an interesting series, cant wait for more, also keep the bags IMO :)

[@nicb6869]

Thank you for the input!

[@0c3m]

Watching Daytrading in TBC is awesome! Keep the damn Bags and the good Videos

[@forevereating3806]

excited for this series. also keep the bags

[@mojolotz]

Just a thought on the bags: You're basically just skipping a few bank runs which would be hella boring. Keep em.

[@Zarrow1]

At first I didn't realize it was about TBC and was like "that's kinda easy most likely". Also brings back memories from watching similar flipping videos about RS. Interesting stuff

[@nicb6869]

Haha ye, if it were retail i'd have increased the challenge amount as I believe inflation hit that game hard :P Ye, I actually got the idea from those types of old RS videos, I loved watching those back in the day

[@front243]

I like that you are using both TSM and Auctionator. I might take that tip and use it as well.

[@alexzamora1894]

This was sooo cool to watch appreciate it

Can’t wait for more, and keep the bags

[@devondenham7309]

Can’t believe some one hasn’t already done a video like this for wow! I’ve really enjoyed watching OSRS flipping videos, but I’m way more familiar with wow so I can’t wait to watch these!

[@nicb6869]

Haha, that's actually where i've gotten the idea from. I've only played runescape when I was really young, but always loved watching those flipping videos even when i hadn't played for years.

[@vqubus8193]

there was some guy who did it on retail, I believe it was 1g to 1mil on retail like 4 years ago, but he is not english speaking so its hard to hear about him :P

MAN DUDE! Finally a video of someone showing how to use the auction house. It's been always a mystery to me (playing since 10 years lol) Typical bg/raid grinder over here who's been giggling happily cuz a primordial dropped haha Love them PvP movies man, but this is a episode im hyped for mate, teach us! And keep the bags. Have fun 🤙🏼

[@nicb6869]

Hell ye! I'm hoping to show you guys a bunch of tricks, and hopefully not too many failures along the way, glad your enjoying it so far :)

[@joshtorrens9054]

Awesome series. No issues with the bags at all

[@nicb6869]

Thanks! That seems to be the general consensus, so i'll be keeping them. Thanks for watching :)

[@onix3539]

Nice video. I have used the mote flip many times to make some quick gold.

[@nicb6869]

Hell yeah, that's a great one!

[@niemand262]

No bags, no starting bank slots. If you add the additional rule that you may not store items on any toon except your goblin, you add a very useful game mechanic. Limited capacity. Aa you grow your operation, you'll have to make choices about your inventory. Netherweave might be a reliable flip... but it must be stored until the market is ready to sell. This one game mechanic alone would create a great sliding scale window of products you will want to be in the market for. It adds as a factor your ability to conceptualize your inventory flow. Do you go for one big flip that might bog you down for a while or for greater variety?

[@lukrassful]

i dont play wow anymore and never used the AH (i was broke for all of the 15 years of me playing lol) but i really like this series! great job

[@seanylewl]

[@ashm4938]

Good tip to catch a great deal is to find expiring auctions, set the filter to short. snagged a few good things that way

[@nicb6869]

Great tip! I've done that a few times but with little success, maybe i'll have better luck in this series, thanks!

[@kaliakoudis]

That's a brilliant idea actually! Ill be watching your progress. Oh and the bags do not make a difference. I'd even argue that having limited space might even make this tedious. So long as you don't actively sell the bags for gold, there's no reason not to have them I think.

[@nicb6869]

Thanks! It's been a lot of fun recording these, and great! Appreciate the input on the bags

[@dai8217]

Really enjoying watching this! Not sure if its listed somewhere I haven't seen, but for future videos like this would you mind posting the timeframes for the episodes? Like "Day 1-3" or something? Keep up the cool content!

[@nicb6869]

That's a great idea, i'll try and get that going for the next few episodes! Cheers!

Damn i'd watch a 40 minute+ video of this lol. Never got into the AH game but it seems pretty fun. Already waiting for the next one! oh, and keep the bags. You'd eventually buy them anyways, so it doesnt really matter i guess.

[@nicb6869]

Right on time I guess, ep 2 is out haha, Thanks, that's kind of what I figured, if it comes down to it, I can always delete the value of the bags from my gold count to make it more legitimate, cheers!

[@nicb6869]

Thanks for the feedback! Will do

[@Juztastic]

Great video - if you have the patience and knowledge you can make a lot of gold flipping even buying items earlier in the week to sell at peak times can net you a lot of gold I often look out for certain Flasks selling for 50-60g knowing they will go up to 70g over the weekend.

[@nicb6869]

Hell ye! Flasks are a great one, only issue i've had with flasks is i'd have to someitmes babysit them and re-list if i'm posting on tesudays or else i get undercut like crazy lol

[@josephteller9715]

Primals and motes are a slowly shrinking market in TBC now that we are in phase 2, except for the water ones (which are used in some Alchemy items that will be needed by fire mages and destruction warlocks). Life motes are some of the most over farmed in the game, and can get as low as 10s each, and the primals selling for about 1g on many servers.

[@nicb6869]

Oh for sure, demand has definitely slowed down, but atleast on my server it's still one of the faster selling items. And the prices stay somewhat stable, so even if I hold a few primals for a day or 2 it shouldn't be that big of a deal.. I hope :P

Just a tiny tip that might be useful for someone is that Thunder Bluff is the best to leave your bank alt because of the distance between, AH to vendor, to mailbox.

Good point, I'll probably end up in different cities over time. But will spend most of my time in org due to the fact that most of the actual trading happens there

[@britneyspheres7yearsago11]

I am by no means a pro player, in fact I quit TBC at like lvl67 so even before reaching max… but I did mess around with the AH a LOT compared to how much I play etc. First character on the server, had nothing to begin with. I flipped a lot of stuff, but my favorite was cloth. Pretty much silk cloth, mageweave and netherweave. Mageweave was the best, often at 30s per piece, whilst silk cloth was 6s a piece. I liked these because they sold fast. If I had more money, I would have bought more primals. I did trade with them a bit and it was pretty nice. I hated trading armors and weapons. They never sold. Pretty much a deposit sunk. Though one time an epic Tailoring recipe was on the AH for like 10 gold. I didn’t wanna just buy it and not be able to sell it, so I posted “WST recipe for 25g” pm trade chat. Someone was interested so I just bought it from the AH then and there and sold it LOL

[@britneyspheres7yearsago11]

PS.: 37s per wool cloth piece and 30s per linen cloth stack is insane on your server. The prices really gone up since I played.

Haha that's crazy! Haven't gotten that easy of a sale yet, but hoping to in the future :P And oh ye! People have gotten lazy to farm classic material, so it's an easy way to profit off of :)
