Flasks - an update.

Well I promised I would delve vociferously into the flask market and I have to admit i've taken a slightly more restrained approach instead.
In total I have about 500 Frost Wyrms, 200 Endless Rages and 150 Stonebloods just now, with about another 250 Frost lotus sitting in the bank. The other night I bought out all remaining Lotus from the AH, well those at 70g and under and also cleared out the Lichblooms, Icethorns and Goldclovers as well. Thankfully I already had 50 Eternal life in stock.
I whacked a shedload of flasks ontoAH for 24 hours at 50g to see if they sold, roughly 50 of the DPS ones and 20 of the Stones. The Stones all sold but the DPS were sporadic at best, They were fairly easily undercut although promisingly not by huge amounts and not in huge numbers. Admittedly this was the weekend and beign a family man I hadn't the time to log in keep track of affairs, however I'm goingto try the same this afternoon in advance of the new raid week starting around teatime. I should get luckier I would imagine.

Am still going to post at 50g as I want to continue seeing over a 2 week period just how volatile the market is. Like Hulan commented on my previous flask post/thought, flask prices do not accurately reflect costs of the mats. Thus am hoping with a sustained clearing of the AH of mats I might be able to manipulate further. It's still early days mind and ultimately I'm not goingto be too disappointed if I am not too successful. Although I damn well sure won't make a loss.

  2. This must be my lucky day! I saw 9 Lotus on the AH for 56G each and bought them immediately as they rarely go for less than 60. The seller whispered me before I got back to the mailbox and said she had 160 and did I want them for 55G each. Well of course I did! That should level my costs out a bit :D

  3. Flippin 'eck mate - thats a tasty spot of business there. An expensive outlay for sure in the beginning but one that should definitely pay itself back over time.
    All ye need now are some cheap flowers and its laughing season down the funny farm.

    Nice one.
