Hitting stock on Gold Street!

So you have yourself some professions, and all you need now is to start getting some inventory. First off you want your basics, your mats.

What you will need:

  • TSM
  • Gold (The more you spend the more you make.. to a certain degree)
  • Patience
Profession Mat's 
The art of trade chat barking is considered both good and evil. You want to be careful about how much you bark but at the same time you want to make sure everyone who zones into /2. chat gets your message. For this I suggest downloading "Guild Recruitment Helper" and set your settings to your own preferences to auto bark. *BE CAREFUL AS YOU CAN BE REPORTED FOR SPAM IF SENT TO FREQUENTLY* 

Now onto the actual mats. So in your crafting table TSM will supply you with a list of mats you require to make the most profitable items available. In order to get these you will need to address your crafting cost's and mat cost's. TSM does this for you:

So when you are hunting for your mats start out lowest and have a second 'reasonable bid' for the mat you are after. I call this the 1-3-2 Method. 1 - Lowest offer, 3 - Sale. If no sale, back one step, 2 - Reasonable offer. For example :

'WTB Golden Lotus pst'
From X - 'How much per stack?'
To X - '29g per / 580g stack' *Step 1
They can either take your bid here or if they reject it - *Step 3
To X - 'How about 31g per?' *Step 2

From this example you can see that you can either got a really good deal or you can get a fairly decent deal that is still way under your mat price. *These mat prices are for my server. Prices will vary from server to server

Trade chat steals
Using the same method above, I often find people selling mounts or Xmog in trade chat that do not really have much of an idea about the actual sale price or just simply will take the best offer they can get.
In the above trade I was able to offer an extremely low price for a highly wanted transmog weapon. The buyer was simply after some quick gold and I was able to flip this for a 7.3k profit within 20mins of each trade.

Thanks for reading and good luck in your future trades and profits. Be sure to follow my twitter @DollarbillsWoW for your chance to win 25,000 gold!
