It was quite a weekend. I’ll put it into several posts today to break things up. Saturday my wife got a cross-stitching pattern we bought on eBay, so she needled away as I played some wonderful WoW blissfully for 2-3 hours. I’m not sure if I dinged on Saturday or Sunday now, because the 2 days’ gaming was so similar, as I got to play again in the afternoon on Sunday.
As I mentioned before, I can craft Netherweave Bags for about 5g each, depending on that moment’s price on cloth, and then they all sell for about 9g 50s, leaving me with a hefty profit. I must have crafted 150 bags this weekend, with 4 of them being Imbued Netherweave Bags selling for 40g each.
On Sunday morning, a guy mailed me a letter saying he was buying all of my bags and that it was a pain to wait for the auctions to end (as he was bidding on them) and wanted to know if I would send them to him COD. We chatted quickly last night, and he said he was only making about 1.5g each on them, which I verified on the AH. I sent him 16 bags COD last night and posted another 20 this morning because he still hadn’t checked his mail to get me money. I’m not stopping my flow of income because he’s not checking his mail. ๐
When they all sell and before I buy more mats, I should be pushing 600g tonight, after starting the process with about 60 on Thursday. If I keep this up, I should have the money for my Epic Flying Mount before I hit 66 /grin. Of course, I still need to get my riding skill for that because I’m still riding my pokey 75-skill Red Skeletal Horse.
Do you not list a buy out price? I often will not bid on something that doesn’t have a buy out – I hate waiting for it. Especially if there is more than one in the AH. And curious minds want to know (mostly mine) – what pattern is your wife working on?
Oh, yes, I always do, and that’s what he’s always waiting for. He bids and then gets everything that didn’t sell in the 24-hour auction. So he was saying he was tired of waiting a day to get them. I would get about 4 of them to sell during the day with a buyout, and then they would all expire and his bids bought them out in the end.
She is doing a family tree x-stitch for us. After driving all over Tampa looking for it at Michael’s, Jo-Ann, and the craft shops, she found it on eBay. Finally a geek solution for us:
