why in the hell wouldnt you cash out dude. Go buy yourself a nice car irl or cash payment on a condo.

guys like this would prob get locked the first time they moved a big amount of gold.all they (him and op) did to make gold is buy duped mounts from chinese or hackers and profit off of em.

Really nice

I did the same thing. It got very addicting... The reason for my motive tho was my server is a super dead server..I always wanted a spectral tiger/vials of the sands. But sadly nobody ever sold any on my server....
I was already loaded for a dead server with over 1M in AH sales before Cata. (Controlled the market/ah) So I had the cash for them, just none available.

But I wanted to make things crazier. I did some server exploring and I found a couple bulk sellers. I bought 50+ vials of the sands for 10-15k Ea and sold all of them for 30-50k on my server Pre MoP. (In like 1 week's time)
There was like never ending demand for it.. And I also bought never ending stacks of Queen Garnets for 500g per stack and sold for 10-15k per stack.
Then people reallized I could get them anything they wanted.. So they would pay me cost+ extra to bring them TCG Mounts. So I was guaranteed income before I even had to invest...

The rush from turning a small investment into Mass Millions is so amazing. But at the same time I also helped out my server loads by bringing in items we didn't have.
And even tho I was worried it would ruin my reputation, or a possible ban... luckily it only made my rep grow in a more positive way.


*You don't have to hide your name, people thought I was duping also. All I said was I have a couple bulk suppliers.
My AH toon has been my main toon for years and I've never had any issues. (Mobile Armory FTW)

But I am glad other people out there experienced this. Even tho it might sound bad to some.. There are some servers that really benefit from it.
The only bad thing is you end up with is like 5-10 Guild Banks of stuff and toons all over the place...

A good outcome is I ended up donating quite of a few vials of the sands/items to friends/guildies/people who couldn't afford one.

I still do this today in MoP but with Living Steel, Golden Lotus, Pets, and things that we have a hard time getting. (Great way to remove any big competition instantly)
And the Vials of the Sands motivated me to drop both eng/enchanting to lvl herb/alch. I opened sooooo many jars.. to get my recipe just so I could continue being the only Vials Supplier on my Server

I hope one day they add in AH achievements. I will be stoked!

I figured I'd share my story as well, everyone have an awesome day!

if u got some screenshots show them

So basically all you need is a duper selling you the mounts/items.

I prefer to be the duper.

I would also prefer duping If I had the opportunity D:

Great story, it just seems so unrealistic for me. How do you get a sense for what you can buy and resell, and for what price? The few times I thought I saw a steal on the AH, I bought it and tried to resell it but never could D:
