The Basics of Vendor Flipping
The concept is simple: buy items from in-game vendors and resell them at the Auction House. For example, Runes of Teleportation is bought for 9 silver each and can be sold for 49 silver each. With minimal effort, you can buy a variety of items from vendors in capital cities and list them on the Auction House for wow classic sod gold.
Runes of Teleportation
The Rune of Teleportation is a necessary item for mages used to cast teleport spells that will transport the caster to major cities. The Rune of Portals serves a similar purpose, however, this allows the mage to create portals that will transport their entire party to a major city. These runes can be purchased by any class but only used by mages. When successfully casting a teleport spell, one Rune of Teleportation is used up in the process. They are sold in stacks of ten.
TradeSkillMaster
TradeSkillMaster, or TSM for short, is an all-in-one addon suite designed specifically to help players maximize their gold-making efforts in WoW. It’s perfect for both beginners looking for new ways to make easy gold and veteran auction house goblins who have made millions with it over time. TSM has many different features ranging from crafting operations and purchasing materials at low prices all the way to setting up deal-finding lists for you to farm with, as well as automating your auction creation and cancellations.
Setting Up for Success
To streamline this process considerably, it’s best if you have TradeSkillMaster (TSM) set up so you can efficiently post your vendor items.
Here’s what that would look like:
Create a new group in TSM for your vendor items.
Add the items to this group whenever you purchase them.
Use a vendor buy operation: set the minimum price at 120% of the vendor’s price, ensuring a 20% profit margin. The normal price should be around 150% for a 50% profit.
Leveraging Rare Items
While basic vendor items are incredibly easy to source, focusing on rare vendor items can up your profits significantly. These are great items sold in limited quantities or only available at certain times and are usually found in remote areas. Although more difficult, they are harder to sell because they are not as commonly known by other players.
Utilizing Resources
In order to find these rare items and vendors easily, resources such as Wowhead will be your best friend throughout this process. Do some research and find vendors that sell limited-stock or lesser-known (exclusivity!) items so you can potentially dominate that market.
Maximizing Efficiency And Profit
When the item has sold out, simply restock from the vendor. The beauty of this method lies in its simplicity and low investment. You can start with less than gold and scale up as you earn more.
The Role of Professions in Vendor Flipping
Different professions bring unique advantages to the table. This section explores how various professions can enhance the vendor flipping experience and offers recommendations tailored to players with specific trades.
Security and Risks
With great potential for wealth comes the need for caution. This section addresses potential risks associated with vendor flipping and provides tips on securing transactions to avoid scams.
Advanced Strategies
For those who want to take it a step further, camping vendors who sell rare recipes or items that refresh infrequently are always an option. For example, one previous strategy involved camping at vendors daily or every few hours that had recipes that were refreshing every two hours or so, which resulted in thousands of gold being made within days just off of one recipe.
Conclusion
Vendor flipping is a simple and effective way to make gold in WoW Classic’s Season of Discovery. Whether you’re starting with no money at all or simply trying to find high-priced items for more profit, this method is honestly amazing. It’s easy to do and requires very little effort from the player. I highly recommend you give it a try.
