I love the AH!! I don't really use my professions to sell stuff - just have my select items that I watch for and then buy low/sell high. Like others, I'm curious of the impact this column will have on my server - if any...

Of all my professions, inscription is best money maker but listing all those freakin auctions takes sooo dammmnnnnn looonnnnngggggggg. But easy to make 1k a day if and when i feel like posting from my stash of glyphs. Actually, there's probably some aspect of Auctioneer that i never learned that would make selling glyphs easier.. Maybe that Post Batch button I've never bothered to learn about...

I topped out a bit over 350k a few months ago, but have been spending a bit lately... Magic Rooster, battered hilts for alts, etc.. down to 280k atm.

Looking forward to seeing where this column goes. While I may see some of my tricks shared here, I'm also sure I'll learn a thing or two as well.

For inscription and glyphs, use a combination of Auctioneer and Quick Auctions (QA), plus a compatible trade window replacement (like ATSW or Lil' Sparky's version of Skillet).

There's a pretty good guide here:

For me personally, it goes something like this:

- Use Snatch (Auctioneer) to pick up herbs and/or ink below a certain threshold
- Use Enchantrix's (Auctioneer) auto-milling functionality to help in the boring task of milling
- Use Glypher (Auctioneer) to decide what glyphs to make (the resulting list can automatically be exported to Skillet's, for instance, crafting queue)
- Head over to a mail box, open it up, and start working through the queue (Quick Auction's auto mail function will automatically start sending things off to your bank-alt as the glyphs are crafted - 12 different glyphs crafted, then mailed)
- Use QA's mailbox functionality to empty the mailbox
- Use QA to post the glyphs
- Use QA to cancel undercut glyphs if desired
- ???
- Profit

Lots of fun, and easy money as long as there aren't too many other really active mass producers of glyphs on your server.
