Auction House Guidelines

I know i keep saying I'm only going to post once a week, but I've been doing a whole lot of nothing and i find enjoyment in writing. So I'm back with a small list of guidelines i found helpful to follow when i was starting out in the Auction House. In the video above i go over these briefly(sorry if i was too quiet, it was late and people were sleeping), but here they are for those of you who want to be able to read them at your own pace.

Spending

• Don't be afraid to spend 80-90% of yout total gold.
• But make sure to leave yourself enough gold in reserve to recover from a mistake.

What do i buy?

• Anything commonly used in professions.
• Other needed items like herbs, ore, enchanting materials, and cloth for example.

When should i scan? How often?

• Try to scan at least once a day, but if possible three scans daily is what i find to be most successful.
• Spread out your scans! Three scans five minutes apart won't do much good in the long run.

• Remember don't neglect your guild and main character to scan the Auction House, scanning comes after after those things.

Common Myths

• "Making gold using the Auction House is time consuming and hard!" Really this isn't true, once you learn the methods used to make gold you can repeat them daily to make more and more gold.
• "I need a lot of gold to successfully use the Auction House!" Again, this is just simply untrue. On my level 25 druid i turned 5 gold into around 2,300 gold in just one week, and that was mainly using the Netherweave Cloth guide i posted earlier.
• "I need to be a high level to make a lot of gold!" Nope! Just remember what i said about my level 25 druid!

Should i spend what I've made so far?

• As a general rule i wait until I've made at least 1000 gold before i start to spend any money on things i want.
• Don't spend your money as you make it! You won't get anywhere!

Have Fun!

• Don't treat the Auction House as if it's a job, do it only when you feel like it.
• Take breaks if you get bored of the routine you've started, the Auction House won't go anywhere!

So there you go everyone, i hope that helps if you were having trouble deciding how much you should spend, or how often you should scan.
I'll be back soon with another update!
