so, I buy a specific kind of ring for 5k each from an NPC, and re-sell for 30k each. this leaves me with 25k per ring after the 15% tax the AH takes.
some guy is buying my entire supply at full price (30k each) and reselling for 40-50k each, the majority being 50k each. assuming they sell for the 50k (they don't, lol!) he would have earned [(50000 * 0.85) - 30000] per ring, or a little over 12k each.
this idiot doesn't realize you can just re-roll vendors. instead of my 20k+ profit per ring, he 1: only earns 12k per and 2: is essentially feeding me free money
I lol'd
haha. 3 mins after I posted this one of my rings sold for 30k :)
..which doesn't make sense because I sell the *exact same rings* for 25k, 30k and 35k (to make the illusion like you have a choice - I personally control the entire market for this type of ring because nobody will pay 50k+ for them)
^while typing that edit 2 more rings sold for 25k and 30k LOL
I have about 18 rings left in stock + 6 on the AH at the moment, I need to sell all of them before the attack speed nerf or else I'm screwed
although I already broke even and am making profits at this point. I bought 40 rings at 5k each, I only needed to sell 8 to break even. I sold a LOT more than just 8.
almost at my first 1 million gold :D just made it :D
