So, no new blogs that I know of this week – however a great new website has been put up which is worth checking out.

It is wowoah or WoW Online Auction House.

It is in a fairly early alpha at the moment, so it has a few kinks and it only has data for US realms. This makes it rather useless for me currently, what with being a Brit, although it could be really useful for some of you.

Searching for Netherweave Bags on wowoah (random server)

At first I thought the site was just a wowecon clone, which should the average value of goods for any server and faction.
This is NOT the case.

Essentially it allows you to do a search on the auction house of any server or faction (again, currently US only) and get ‘live’ data as if you were searching in game.

This means you no longer even need WoW to search the auction house!

It even lets you do things like see every item a seller has for sale, via the SellerData. Very handy for spying on competition even when you can’t be at home, as well as allowing you to easily do so without having to install Auctioneer.

It is in alpha however so there are a few bugs. A couple of times it wouldn’t show any data from Live Searches and I had to search a couple of times.

Another great thing is that you can see time left and current bid on any auction. This means you could bid on an item, then still check and see the time remaining and if you have been outbid all from outside of WoW.

Then there is also the Data buttons, which tell you the sale prices, and sale volume, for the past 7, 14, 30, 60 or 90 days – displayed in easy to understand graphs. It also tells you the total amount seen in that time frame.

I'm giddy for graphs, so this is heaven for me!

I am really really impressed with this site, and while it might not ever be a big hit like Wowhead or Thottobot because it’s target audience is limited to just people like us, it could easily become a major WoW website once it is up and running.

So, go check out WoW Online Auction House! Remember it is still in alpha – and that any website thrives on feedback from its readers, so make sure you send them your feedback!

That is all for this week. Again if you know of a something that deserves to be highlighted then let me know.

This weeks Freeloader Friday is another question, again about glyphs! It comes from ‘Alex S’ and his question is

“Sarainy help! I’m not sure what glyphs to make!”

Now this ties in really well with my previous post today, on using KTQ to queue all glyphs. This strategy just relies on creating everything out there because you know eventually at some point or other it will sell.

However…Alex throws a slight spanner in the works.

“…and after spending all my money on all the Glyph Matery Books I don’t have enough money to just blow on creating a few of every glyph.”

Hmmmm, okay so that changes things a bit. Alex now needs a way to only create the profitable glyphs on his server. This is actually a fairly common problem for people new to inscription and glyphs.

It is also an issue for people who don’t want to spend the time maintaining stacks, or who can’t create bank alts to hold and post large amounts of glyphs.

So what ways are there that can help ensure you only create the glyphs that are profitable?

This needs to work on every server, so no listing of specific glyphs please!

As always help out and give some suggestions in the comments!

This Freeloader Friday was meant to be posted on the 23rd of October 2009, hence why there it is being posted on a Wednesday!

Today’s Freeloader Friday is a question sent to me by Wee. His trouble is that there just is not enough people buying his glyphs!

He is posting roughly 500 glyphs, five single stacks of roughly 100 different glyphs. Yet even with a price of 5g each, he is only selling 10 or so glyphs total a day.

Wee’s pretty sure no one is managing to undercut him under his threshold which is at crafting costs, so how can he start selling more glyphs?

Help out and give some suggestions in the comments!
