So compared to the small workload i consider 3k a good day. Maybe im not much of a fighter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454650400712521073.post-53896253310095365682012-06-23T04:37:38.392+10:002012-06-23T04:37:38.392+10:00I dont see point in setting up low minium price fo...I dont see point in setting up low minium price for glyphs - I'm too lazy for that. My minimum is 50g, fallback 500 - I dont sell them like crazy, but making decent gold for minimum effort - I dont spend long time at mailbox, becouse some of them didnt get on ah, I dont have to restock that often (because the didnt sell), so i can wait long time for cheap herbs - recently bought like 300 stacks of heartblossom for 17g per stack - yay! - I'm set up for few months, just posting them once a day on 2 characters.wow serwishttp://wowporady.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454650400712521073.post-13904802978412647712012-06-12T08:13:57.932+10:002012-06-12T08:13:57.932+10:00Man, the glyph market is very tough right now!
Wh...Man, the glyph market is very tough right now!<br /><br />Whilst TSM makes the cancel/create/post process a breeze once it's set up, the constant to and fro between the mailbox/ah and constant need for babysitting the market share makes me question whether it's worth the hassle at times.<br /><br />Like any good goblin, I have my interests spread across many different markets (which is ultra important in periods like this where many traditional gold markets are down because of D3 influence or just being in 'that' part of the expansion cycle). Right now, the Glyph market is generally down which means profits are not as free flowing and those market players (especially those who rely specifically on Glyphs) are probably a little more aggressive in protecting their patch than they otherwise would be.<br /><br />Bang for buck right now, the Glyph market isn't that great - at least on my realm anyway!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454650400712521073.post-55938803969535077422012-06-10T00:24:13.408+10:002012-06-10T00:24:13.408+10:00I'm glad i'm on a low pop server.

I craft and post up to 2 of each fast selling glyph listed by 2 or 3 competitors at a price of >350g and can usually make around 1k weekdays and 2-3k on weekends. My threshold is 50g and the ones I can't post over that I mail off to my glyph storage alt until the next day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454650400712521073.post-68041657112629846452012-06-08T13:18:15.717+10:002012-06-08T13:18:15.717+10:00Gday Guys!

I have all but abandoned the current glyph market merely re-listing the scraps of glyphs I have left on my bank alt. The main focus has been on preparing for the inevitable profittability of Glyphmas2. Patch 5.0. There are a lot of new glyphs coming with MoP and with the surge in demand caused by everyone levelling their new monks, now is the best (and cheapest) time to pre-stock your inks. My personal target is to have 1000 of each type of ink ready to go for the patch. Do you think this is enough?<br /><br />GdayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454650400712521073.post-27974720043264476762012-06-08T12:18:58.327+10:002012-06-08T12:18:58.327+10:00Hiya Massterbank; Yes.

Both Horde & Alliance Glyph markets are now crashed on Cael. Crafting glyphs is a time consuming practice and I for one am not prepared to seriously compete for the scraps, there's better gold elsewhere. Time is money. Have you done a comparison timewise of your gold per hour?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454650400712521073.post-87218533388255254632012-06-08T03:10:13.111+10:002012-06-08T03:10:13.111+10:00Some markets don't have this option, sadly.
M...Some markets don't have this option, sadly.<br /><br />Many very thriving markets simply have to deal with the fact that there are still, even after D3, too many bots competing.<br /><br />Whereas my price per ink goes up or down from time to time, theirs does not - it is always 0g. Whereas my threshold can vary wildly depending on the price of my mats, my inventory, or just my mood for the day, theirs do not. Whereas I have to log off to do things like sleep for a few hours a day, they do not.<br /><br />When you have one bot logged on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 2 others logged on for opposing 12 hour shifts, the price never really goes up because no one is ever relaxing the prices and giving them time to rise. Your only hope is finding a small window where there are few low-priced auctions and buying them out to reset the market for that one glyph.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454650400712521073.post-22841683413224085182012-06-07T23:54:24.286+10:002012-06-07T23:54:24.286+10:00Edit, 6-9g per glyph not ink.Edit, 6-9g per glyph not ink.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454650400712521073.post-59545434573492722872012-06-07T23:53:40.697+10:002012-06-07T23:53:40.697+10:00Good post.

I cannot and will not justify any lower price with the current herb market. 6-9g per ink. I figure i have to sell about 50-100 glyphs a day at that price to make it worth my while and i still have 4 people undercutting below that price. So I just quit worrying about it and focus on other more proffitable ventures.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454650400712521073.post-81663098389333206002012-06-07T13:16:48.857+10:002012-06-07T13:16:48.857+10:00good post and well made points. one thing i have ...good post and well made points. one thing i have noticed having been away for 5 months is that demand has fallen and the cost of materials has risen (less farmers). Hence i am seeing competitors selling at low thresholds whilst breakeven costs have risen. Cost of a glyph on my realm is now c17g - 20g.<br /><br />using your competitors own momentum to drive themselves into the ground through loss making trades is a nice strategy.Crodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16620994327943613623noreply@blogger.com
