Friday has come!

One of the things I like most about the Friday is what it starts. Friday starts the weekend. Everyone gets a chance to be home from school or work; a time to relax. What do people do when they relax? Well for the point of this blog, they play WoW.

Knowing that we have a larger influx of players with extended times to play tells us what?

1. More people are playing.

2. There is now a que for your favorite server.

3. You have to wait to play.

4. This is horrible!

Kidding.

1. More people are playing.

2. More people mean a larger consumer base.

3. Larger consumer base typically means higher demand.

4. Higher demand equals either higher quantity sold, or higher profit margins.

What does this mean for us, the people making money to run our activities, and how can we harness this influx?

As crafty sellers, we realise that the increase in demand will result in increased purchasing for all sorts of items. A quick example of the items to keep in stock to sell on the weekend:

Crafted items - if you sell them during the week, expect at least double the demand - bags, armor kits, weapons and more.

Enchants - people will be leveling, gearing up, running instances and raids. When they have their new gear, they are going to want the enchants to go on it. Scrolls sell well if you dont want to sit in town all day. (These sell really well on Tuesdays too! I'll tell you why in a later post)

Potions - people will be raiding and doing endgame content. They want those buffs and will apy a premium for them. (These also sell really well on Tuesdays too! I'll tell you why in a later post)

Gems - Same as enchants

Crafting Mats - While they are leveling their characters, they will want to level their tradeskills too. Make it easy for them to buy your ore for prospecting (stacks of 5), your herbs for inscription (again, stacks of 5), your leathers (stack size varies on type, but typically 6-7 per) and your cloth (good for tailoring and first aid).

Armor - most people dont want to make due with the armor they have when the hit a new level. After all, they reached a new level and can now use that chest, or this shoulder. Make good use of this.

Weapons - the higher you level, the more damage you need to do. Become a source for good weapons, even if you have to buy up all the items for the preeceeding week.


These are just a few places to looks to get you going through the weekend. Remember to set your auctions to the longest duration, and always include a buyout. More on buyouts to come later.


I hope you are enjoying the blog so far, I try to make it as helpful as possible. Feel free to leave any feedback on what you would like to see in the future.
