"As you can see in the chart, my total purchases were 1101g with AH fees totaling 436g for a total cost of 1537g.  My AH sales were 8001g with 46g from vendor sales for a total income of 8047g.  This experiment netted my 6510g profit for very little effort."

"But boy has it paid off. I've put each one for 50 gold on the AH which is probably a bit light, but they are selling well. For such a little investment, they are making their money times and times over."

"Lately I have been dabbling with pet sales.  One of the things I like best about selling pets is the deposit on auctioning a caged pet is low, a mere one silver to run a twenty-four hour auction.  It would take me a hundred listings before I even lost a single gold piece."

"One market I have never really left is the Mysterious Fortune Cards, and though in Cata, the Fortune Cookie version made me tens of thousands, I have found that the basic card itself will still roll just fine in MoP."

"Gold making is like a minefield. On one side is the starting edge, on the other....whatever your gold making goal is...gold cap, $2mill gold, buying all the gold sink items, etc. etc. whatever. There are people scattered in all parts of the minefield and some are still at the starting edge. Standing at the start of the minefield are the beginners."

"Basically, what I was subconsciously doing was preparing myself to go on my gold making journey. I was gathering ideas and information and figuring out how I would apply it to my style of play."

"One person had no idea what they were doing and posted every craft at zero profit. No goals competative meta goals in mind, just trying to make any gold they could, erroneously thinking that endercutting by 400g meant things would sell faster (Hint: it doesn't; a 1c undercut is the same as a 400g). Her presence had 2 of my BS guildies and 2-3 other competitors posting under 100g for current items that should be worth over 400-500g. Then, it spread."

"Anyway back to my escapades, seeing my main competition just logging in to repost and having just fully entered the market myself I decided to test his mentality / patience and immediately undercut him every time he posted (for 1c undercut each time). After posting I waited a minute or two and ran a cancel scan, seeing that he'd almost immediately cancelled and undercut me.  Fun Time.  I proceeded to have a undercutting war for the next 20 minutes until he snapped and posted a 2-5 deep wall at 120g across the board (most of the gems being priced at 130-280g each), I was feeling playful so I undercut him once more, at which point he whispered me a condescending insult along the lines of me not knowing what I was doing and logged out."

"I've been that person, crashing glyph markets for fun and profit. It's a valid tactic for market grooming and is also just a fun way to learn more about markets, your competition, addons, etc. But if someone else trying to mess with your profit margins is upsetting to the point it will drive you out of the market you should probably stick to dailies and not worry too much about the Auction House."

"Then [Jim] said unto [Faid], Almost thou persuadest me to be a [Glyph seller]." 

"I recently watched a livestream where Jim was vendoring 83-84 greens which he sells for like 300-400g each. His reasoning behind this was he did’nt [sic] want them filling up his guild bank so only kept one extra item.    

… 

I myself have 7, 8, 9, 10 copies of the exact same 83-84 green,I know I can post 1 - 2 and drop the others in the guild bank or mail them off."

"I just believe that Jim's argument is not compelling, and I know that I definitely would not want him to be my lawyer based on his definition of proof.  All he provides is circumstantial evidence at best, while throwing the word proof around as if it's meaningless." 

-"Proof of Jeweled Onyx Panther Duping" on Phat Lewt's Gold Blog

"While we have always had competition in our markets I have never seen so many people with seemingly no idea as to what they are doing. Many markets have people selling items for a loss. Other markets have had their profits driven down to almost nothing. All these people seem blissfully unaware of what they are doing."
