Checked the AH this morning to see if this was possible. When I first calculated for profit, the margin was around 11g, and then the price for tinderboxes TANKED like 400g and kept dropping. Always too late for the fun. Great videos though. Keep em coming.
The profit margins are definitely getting smaller. I check throughout the day and pick the 3 things up when they are priced between 700g and 740g and list the boxes for no less than 2500g. I’m finding that is working, but it is certainly getting harder to get those cheaper regents for the trade.
It's weird that this works, because anyone can do this 3 for 1 trade for themselves. Guess people either don't know this way of getting the tinderboxes--or can't be bothered to run over to the vendor to save themselves some money.
I agree, and I think people are catching on. Over the last week or so I have made around 60k with doing this flip a little each day. But it is getting harder to buy the items at the price needed to make the profit.
@@Everhealer Yes, I made a little gold earlier today using your tip, but, when I logged back on the AH, prices had changed enough to make it no longer profitable. Pity. Glad to hear you managed to take advantage while it was still available.
I find the price of the boxes go up in the evenings and the price of the swap items go down in the mornings. :) But i dont hink it will work for much longer until the next season anyway.
Isn‘t this really risky? You are buying materials worth 2265g for the chance of 130g profit. Which means that you get 5% profit, which can quickly become less or even cost you Gold when the Price changes.
That is true, that’s why it is a bit of a gamble. Although, I am relatively confident that if I do get caught out with a price drop, that prices will go back up in patch 11.1 as everyone upgrades their gear with the new higher level crests. I know some people even buying up tinder boxes to hold them for the patch. But you are smart for identifying this as risky and it really is. But I do have a backup plan if things go sideways and I have many other ways to make gold if I need to recover losses :)

Nice, this will be a good money maker when the next patch comes out.
With all the enchants and gear people will want to upgrade I think it is a pretty safe bet :)
are you taking into account the AH cut?
Yes, the 5% cut :) before this video I had no idea how much the AH cut was ☺️

@@Everhealer I think the flip is risky. But buying it that way and saving it for S2 is quite smart.
Thank you :)
