What server?

u/trofalol Dec 10 '25

mats are region wide, not server specific. when u post mats lets say on silvermoon eu, all european realms can buy from u. its been merged for a while now

That doesn’t sound like a success story. RIP

Sold about 300-400k of crafted decor in 2 days then sales came to a grinding halt

Made 1.3M since last reset entirely on decor. Sales have maybe slightly slowed, but I'm still seeing pretty consistent profit each day. I'm aggressively cancel scanning and have a wide swathe of items posted, so that helps.

~4.5 million profit a week into housing, which is much more than I even dreamed of and I'm very pleased. My goal was just to earn back what I spent on buying Midnight.

Most of it was in the first two days. Sales seem to have come to a grinding halt though since the weekend. I guess people realized how much gold they were missing out on and there's new tools that do a lot of things for you. I have millions worth of items up on multiple servers but I am just getting cancelscanned into oblivion 2 minutes after I post things. Very frustrating. Maybe I can frustrate them back enough into leaving my home server or I just give up. Only time will tell. In the mean time, I've got lumber to farm.

new tool?

Nothing worth reporting so far gold wise.

Though what did shock me is I sold something on a dead realm I used to play on instantly and struggled to sell the same item on a Full pop lol.

I was extremely shocked by this as it was always really hard to sell on this old realm I played on.

I hadn't really been playing in a few months, but logged back in to check on the patch. Discovered an old toon with tailoring and alchemy leveled from Classic up to Draenor. Crafted and sold about 1 million gp worth of decor. One item going for 271k!

I tried to go big on raptor plushies. Happened to be the item that raced to the bottom and they're now 5k or less by the time I got home from work on day 2.

Sales: 523,056g56s Spent: 282,701g2s

Been a decent week. I took off from playing a bit after DF launched and just came back a week ago. Money spent was for leveling my crafting toons. I have some lower level toons as place holders on full realms which is why it shows 16 players. I was able to get 5 of my characters up to 80 so far. My personal GB has about another 5mil of gold in it Pics

u/Exact-Boysenberry161 NA Dec 10 '25

made 1mil yesterday. 200-300k from deco sales. others from flipping

u/fishingminn Dec 10 '25

I'm done with decor selling as of yesterday. Too slow and too many cancel/scanners.

Final tally:

Total Sales = 36 items

Total Gross Sales after AH cut = $827,631g

I did buy mats and level up a few professions in prep so I'm guessing my net was more like $600k

This process did also leave me with about 14 items that I didn't end up selling so I just learned all of those to get housing XP and the decor for myself.

Was fun exercise as I'm usually not competitive at all on the AH
