470g and 2300+g in items for AH

Something is definately not following trend. My weekend sales were terrible. I have some stuff posted at or below my purchase price just to dump it and its not moving. I'm not going to buy anything new until most of my current lots are sold. I need to cap out my gold and really re-work the strategy to make this turn around again. I really feel like something is holding the market back. Whether it's patch incoming or nicer weather for the summer months and not as many people on, I don't know. I do know that this was easier in the beginning and the only thing i'm doing different is buying way more expensive stuff. Perhaps I need to scale back. IF anything sells by tonight, i'll post a hot/cold list. Otherwise the entire stock may just be a cold list by wednesday :(

    I have my best luck with keeping purchase over 100g to one or two at a time. I have on average 100-150 small items up at a time which keeps profits coming in. Probably I'm not risky enough but having 400-500 gold in a couple items is all I'm willing to do on larger items at a time.

    I noticed a fairly precipitous drop in price of Frozen Orbs over the weekend on my server. Maybe a lot of people were playing for Spring Break, increasing the supply of items?

    Spring break would do nicely for increasing supply on a lot of things. Depending on what you have going up, it'd be fair to say that patch expectations are causing some of the sales woes. Why buy a shiny upgrade now when a random Uldar blue could exceed it for free? Might be good to put more basic stuff up for now rather than final products or upgrades (later 70s stuff).

    Ramsey, same on my server Bonechewer (US). Dropped from about 150g each to now about 70g each.

    Hi, I brought 3 blue items around the lvl 18, and 68 ranges (twink items was the idea) but they havent sold in two weeks even though i have marked them 5 gold lower than auctioneer suggested them at. Is there something I am missing?

    Len,

    What items are they? It could be that you bought items that aren't in high demand. I don't think there's a lot of twinking in the 60-69 bracket, and the stats on a 68 Outland blue are probably about the same as the stats on a 68 Northrend green.

    Also, not every 15-19 blue is in demand for twinking. Your Auctioneer could've been getting its data from someone else who was trying to sell that item to twinks, not realizing that no twinks want it. You have to remember that Auctioneer DOESN'T KNOW whether or not an item sold at a price - just that someone posted it at that price. You can't assume that it's always right; mine says that copper ores are worth 150g a pop right now.

    I once bought 2 Orb of Deceptions, 590g and 600g respectively, around the wotlk release and just sold them about 2-3 weeks ago! Sometimes it takes awhile.
