Gold Making – Week 37 (2025)

Another week gone by, and sales have declined a little bit but a lot of that is also due to the fact that I didn’t post my auctions for a day or two over the weekend. I was just exhausted and didn’t want to burn out, so I let them lapse. I think I’m pretty consistent most of the time, so letting them expire a day or two each week isn’t that big of a deal.

I only had one really big sale this week, and that was the Baron Charr’s Sceptre that went for 1.5 million gold. I sold a LOT of pets, mostly to other gold goblins who will re-sell them. I’ve had a lot of stock to work through and have been focused on lowering my prices to move that stock out of the warehouse so to speak. It does no good to just keep it all hanging around forever. I’m still pretty happy with these profit margins, combined with my crafting profits (TSM doesn’t keep record of those) it was a good week over all. I imagine as we keep going through Season 3 things may slow down a bit, but we’ll just have to see.

As always, happy gaming – no matter where you find yourself!

Gold Making – Week 36 (2025)

I indulged this week and splurged on a few battle pets I was missing, along with some recipes I found that I needed for my collection, too. What was 11.8 million gold in sales was 9.3m in profit for the week once I took out the 2.5m I spent. I don’t normally spend a lot of gold like that, but with the new pets added in 11.2 I didn’t want to wait 12 weeks to get them all.

Sales were mostly all on Area 52, and it almost all came from pets. I had leveled up a large selection and another goblin purchased most of them – fine by me, profit is profit. This also allowed me to level up another alt to 80 (thank you pet battles). The rest of the servers I’m on had mild sales, 1-5 items on most of them, although Winterhoof also saw some pet sales.

Right now I’m focusing on posting the auctions in the morning before the family wakes up, and then I work on my own collections. I really want to get my recipe collection up there, but I’m not exactly sure what the best way to go about that is. I have also been turning my entire pet collection rare, something that I’ve procrastinated on all of these years. I think I have 300 pets to go, they’re uncommon at the moment.

Other then that, it’s just another day making gold. As always, happy gaming – no matter where you find yourself.

Gold Making – Week 35 (2025)

Well, 10.5 million for the week is a really nice amount, that’s for sure. Where did the sales come from? First of all, I leveled up a whole bunch of spare pets that I’ve kept in my banks for some time and another goblin scooped those up to re-sell since they were level 25. Perfectly fine by me, I still got what I wanted from them. I use these pets to level up alts, so I don’t bother selling pets at level 1.

There was one big collector who splurged and bought 2.5 million gold worth of unobtainable transmog from me on Argent Dawn (low pop NA RP server). That came as a bit of a surprise, but I was really glad for it. I don’t often get collectors working their way through things but it’s the perfect time for it as people look to other activities in game.

Transmog and pets made the bulk of my sales, with recipes coming in third. I’ll have to go through and restock, today I opted to take a break from posting daily and I’ll pick it back up tomorrow. A break here and there is never a bad thing, sometimes my mornings are a bit busy and I don’t have the 1h available. In any case, I’m still pretty happy with these sales.

As always, happy gaming no matter where you find yourself!

Gold Making – Week 34 / 2025

Sales were pretty good this week, and I found myself at around 8.4 million gold once the dust settled. I did end up spending a few million getting Midnight for 3 of my accounts (2 epic collections, one for NA and one for EU, and a base edition) which does not show in the TSM ledger. I also decided to finally level up cooking, which is why you see some purchases taking place. I’ve been working on collecting recipes, but it’s pretty slow going as my hands are giving me some difficulty so I can’t game much.

As far as what sold, it’s just my usual items. Recipes, battle pets, and transmog. I’m still not touching TWW (unless it’s crafted items) and that’s fine by me. As for the details:

I spend 1h each day posting auctions. I post 140-150 items on each of my 20 servers. I don’t cancel scan, I don’t see the need in my markets. If you’re selling fast moving popular items, sure maybe then you want to cancel scan. Otherwise, just be patient. Remember there’s more than one buyer out there. My servers of choice are medium/high pop ones, though I will admit that Area52 (the largest NA server) is my top as far as sales go. It could be other gold making goblins just buying my stuff to resell it and I’m OK with that. I got what I wanted for the item and it sold, those are the important things.

I’m waiting for reset to happen tomorrow. My paladin is at a generous 693 ilevel right now, and I have not one, not two, but THREE monks sitting at around 670-690. Did I mention how much I love monks this season? Well, I always have. I’m playing Mistweaver (raids, M+) and Brewmaster (Delves). Fun times.

As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself.

Giving Away a bit of Gold

This person was saying in trade chat that it was their birthday, so I decided to randomly donate some gold. I sent along a message to them to be on the lookout for it, and this was the resulting conversation. I’ve removed their name for privacy sake, but it was on the Moon Guard server, NA:

[08/24/2025]

12:26 [Winneveve]: I sent you 150k for your birthday – enjoy! It should take approx 1h to get there (it’s not a hoax, just a random person saying have a great day)

12:26: LMAO NO WAY

12:27 [Winneveve]: Seriously, I know it sounds strange. Enjoy though :)

12:28: noooo, you shouldn’t have! I was just messing with the lfg peeps! But that’s super sweet of you, thank you

12:29 [Winneveve]: You’ll have 2 mail because the 1st one I forgot to put G and it sent you 150,000 silver, lol. Have a great day!

12:30: 150k is like…. 3 times what i have LMAO

12:31 [Winneveve]: Aw then you absolutely deserve some! YAY for gold! :D

12:32: I’m gonna spend it in goldshire

12:32 [Winneveve]: Whatever floats your boat ^^

12:33: least judgmental person in the server

12:33: ok queen

12:33 [Winneveve]: Wouldn’t be much fun to give away gold and then tell you how to spend it ;)

Interesting times as always. I like giving away gold here and there, it surprises people, and I hope it let’s them have a bit of a better day. Since I don’t know any of these people it should come as a complete out of the blue surprise. Sometimes that’s a really nice feeling.

Plus, I’ve got lots of gold. If I can help a few people have a better / unique day, why not share some of that around.

As always, happy gaming no matter where you find yourself!
