You thought'd a bit of pneumonia would have freed you from my grasp hadn't you.
Your obviously wrong, and dumber than I thought.
Be that as it may, today I give you an excerpt from one of my mini guides. This little guide alone will net you a cool few hundred gold a day not doing a whole lot.
So first, follow my other little tidbit on getting Auctioneer and Auctionator installed and running. DO IT NOW!!!
Anyway, the first thing that you'll notice when you run to the nearest auction house is this
Nifty graphics complements of the creators of Auctioneer!
Anyway the first thing you need to do is USE those scan buttons at least once a day, preferably twice a day once in the morning and once at night if you can. This allows Auctioneer to get the data for your server and will help you make alot more money in the long run.
There are two kinds of scans they both pretty much do the same thing however they go about in two different ways.
1.) The normal play button one (outlined in purple) will take awhile but will eventually scan through everything. You have to keep the auction window open while it completes though.
2.) The second button is alot quicker but it requires ALOT of resources of your computer. It pretty much requires a ton of RAM and processing power and uses it all to blow through the scan completing it in a few minutes (2-3) rather than the slower (6-15ish) slower scan.
This is a necessary step for using the search functions and Appraiser.
Speaking of the Search Tab, little tip for making some money.
When you click on the search tab you'll see a list of items on the left, like this:
Notice the left side listing of items that you can do with this function. I'm not going to spill the beans for the whole guide but I WILL give you a little tidbit.
One thing you should be doing is using the Converter tab. When you click this you'll get a list based on scans of items such as motes, Greater and Lesser Essences etc are the biggest money maker here. Basically what is happening here is that Auctioneer is looking at say Greater Eternal Essence and saying, look you can buy this for 24g, break it up, and sell the three resulting Lesser Eternal Essences for 10g+ or even much more depending on the market. I actually do this often. The last time I did it I actually did the numbers I listed only I sold the three resulting essences for 23g apiece. I bought 4 Greaters for about 100g, They in turn created 12 Lessers. I sold each of those for 23g. By the time I subtracted my "investment" I made about 176g on the deal on top of getting my money back. I do this all the time. It isn't my main source of income, you can't make much money that way, but it took me about 4 minutes to buy and repost and then about 12 hours to sell.
If you keep a constant lookout for these things you can really capitalize and create a nice supplement to your income.
*Appraiser Note:*
Appraiser is the best way to sell your items. Well, its a really good way anyhow. When you click on the tab it will show you all the items in your inventory on the left. When you click on and item it will show all the items it found in the last scan of what your selling and their prices. It will also give you a suggestion on what it thinks you should sell them at based on your selection from the drop down tab located underneath its suggestion. I typically tell new people to just use the market and let Appraiser undercut the competition for you, but undercutting isn't always the best way to go about making money with some things.
However, I'll explain that in the guide, for now and for noobs I recommend just using the defaults to start moving your product.
In the middle left of your screen you will see a slide bar that determines how large your stack is for stackable items. Pay attention to what other people are selling as stacks. Alot of items sell in stacks of 5,10, or 15 rather than a full stack of 20. This is actually a good idea since it reduces the amount of gold people are paying all at once and allows you to post more of it. It also helps with items like Frozen Orbs where people don't usually tend to use very many in crafting and don't want to buy a full stack of 20 for very large amounts of gold.
Anyway, thats my tidbit of the day. I'll be posting a few more items from this, but the guide itself, which will be "for dummies" and those who are not harnessing the power of the expanded Auctioneer, will go on sale soon. For way less than those other money grubbers try to fleece everyone for.
