So we’ve had a few years or approximately 5 years (congrats Blizzard) to figure out what is going on during a holiday weekend like Thanksgiving and from what I have observed in my 4 participating weekends is that this Black Friday just isn’t for the retail sector it’s can be a Black Friday for you in game as well.
Friday is a day off for most of the masses in the US (except those working in retail). So one thing for sure, you’re going to see more players on than usual compared to previous weekends this fall. This doesn’t bode well for the farmers, things are going to be a bit crowded. There is some upside to this, you might be able to find a pug to get a Nax done if you haven’t gotten out in a while, it might be easier to put a 5 man team together to chain heroics but if you’re bottom line is you focus, you might want to grab those reserve funds and make some money playing the markets in AH.

Ok, it’s not spring but the G/F just started playing WoW again, she dinged 80 and of course I needed to be that guy to help her get some crafted gear to at least get her comfortably tanking the 5 mans. I thought it would be a great time to maybe clean out some bags which lead to this story. If you’re an Alt-a-holic like me, you’ve got a number of toons you’ve carried through Vanilla WoW and TBC and if that’s the case, you might want to take a look at reputation turn ins. You’re probably sitting on a pot of gold and you didn’t know it.
What you’re capitalizing on here are the Achievement junkies of the game who are focused on trying to get the Reputation Achievements completed. I decided to go through all my Alt’s and push every Rep item that wasn’t nailed down over to my Bank Auction Alt to see what kind of gold that would generate and I was actually pretty surprised. The Achievement folks are still buying these items up in quantity and most of the items I posted were gone the day I listed. As a matter of fact, every reputation item I listed was sold which made me think I left some gold on the table but oh well. Here’s a breakdown on that spring cleaning. Read more… »
Although online reporting of AH data is available, there seems to be a new player entering the market. Eldadcorp has lauched a Online Auction House Site over www.wowoah.com. Although not the easiest site name to remember, it seems to be a noteworthy addition to the Auction Houes data space. It is worthy to note that the site is still in Alpha with releases coming frequently.
This space is currently occupied by some other sites including WoWecon, Allakhazam, and the independent development project by Norganna who is the author of Auctioneer, the AuctioneerDB site. After the break will tear down WOWOAH a little bit more for the readers.
