My solution was to bribe my AH competitor that did coding on the side to make mine work. I didn't think he took me seriously but I was like "I'll give you a 100k if you make this unsupported addon keep working for me by tomorrow night" and I logged on the next day to a link to a zip file in my mailbox. with instructions on what he did and how I could do other stuff with it (sadly all that stuffs went way over my head) though it was not until quite a ways into MoP that I finally had to learn TSM. and I still missed things about z/a.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10156091197599885221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568871715043627819.post-30036619917340598672013-04-09T04:33:59.402-07:002013-04-09T04:33:59.402-07:00Yep, for a few months there after Cata's relea...Yep, for a few months there after Cata's release it was mass hysteria as people couldn't get QA to work, too.

Sha Weapon enchants last Tuesday were earning about 100%-200% ROI, which would be between 3k and 6k per. Gems are decently priced (magically) the same days as enchants. Other days of the week I completely ignore these markets and work other ones. I see no reason to sell my stock at market lows, ever.<br /><br />This goes back to my stockpiling and spreadsheet discussion, where I talk about buying materials that you will need, regardless if you need them immediately, and they are at a price that returns a projected profit. Addons are great, but pencil and paper and being able to time your entry and retreats make you more gold with less effort.<br /><br />As for competition, I work the largest US AH in the game. Competition is extremely fierce everyday of the week. Like any carnivore at the top of the food chain, you have to work it with strategy, and not do the mindless drone thing and post because that's what people tell you to do.Zerohourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07585688741521855038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568871715043627819.post-62779961924297023942013-04-09T00:20:43.947-07:002013-04-09T00:20:43.947-07:00Never noticed the polls before - fingers crossed y...Never noticed the polls before - fingers crossed you'll get 25 votes next time!<br /><br />I'm always interested to hear about the profits that gold bloggers tend to make - would you say that it is mostly due to volume of postings and product choice or a lack of competition? <br /><br />For example, I get around 1k profit on Dancing Steel, glyphs are horrendous, gems are probably 5-100ish profit.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />SpleneticAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12475714008682337562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568871715043627819.post-12439531151211117462013-04-08T21:38:16.645-07:002013-04-08T21:38:16.645-07:00I remember when the QA guy gave it up, and two oth...I remember when the QA guy gave it up, and two others took the code and ran with it. They were called ZeroAuctions and AuctionProfitMaster. ZA faded away and APM of course became TSM.<br /><br />I also can't forget that QA plugin with the bot-like behaviour! I'm glad that didn't last long after Marcko and Basil Bernstein exposed it.Handerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13229848160867402525noreply@blogger.com
