Real Money Auction House is Live
The RMAH Is now live on US servers. You can click the currency button at the top right to switch to it. The auction house has a lot of users on it at this time so it may be hard to access. Note, attempting to sell gold will result in an error for now.
Auction House: Issues and Information
Now is a good time to take a look at this list. You will be seeing the "Grayed-Out Auction House Button" most likely when you first sign on.
Grayed-Out Auction House Button
To help reduce load and improve the overall stability of the auction house system, the game may temporarily limit traffic to the auction house during peak gaming hours. This is done automatically, and players may occasionally see a grayed-out auction house button as a result.
If the auction house button is grayed-out, please wait a few minutes and then try again. Alternatively, you may wish to enter a game and then leave, or log out and log back in to try again.
Missing" Auction Items
We're continuing to investigate latency affecting search results, active auction lists, posting auctions, and successful sales and purchases on the gold auction house, and hope to have all transactions running smoothly as soon as possible. Please note that while these issues may cause a temporary delay in having purchased items appear in your Completed tab, your items have not been lost. If you do not see your purchased items immediately, please wait and try again later. This also applies if you are experiencing difficulty transferring gold from your Completed tab to your character's stash. Though your sales and purchases may not appear in your auction log, those transactions have still been recorded and should process within 24 hours.
Auction House Error 31073
Players will sometimes receive "Error 31073" when attempting a transaction on the auction house. This is an intentional measure to help improve auction house stability by throttling the number of auctions that can be created at any given time. If you receive this error message when attempting a transaction you should wait a few moments and try again. While we understand this is an inconvenience, our goal is to ensure a more stable auction house experience for everyone.
Ohh going to be fun when I get home and see how f upped the AH prices will be for the next couple of weeks!
You're a braver soul than I am.
Having a financial background makes these kind of things interesting, considering this a first go for this type of thing! If people want to sell mediocre items for $40+ I'm not sure how anything will sell in the long term.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Playing Diablo since 97. I know nothing and having nothing good to say, I be a troll.
If I ever buy anything from it, then I will for sure wait for a few weeks until it have settled.
Current items for 250 dollars....just makes me wanna laugh.
there are items which are sold for over 700€ (1190$) at ebay. wouldnt hope "too" much, top notch items will remain unbelievable expensive, mediocre items will probably become pretty cheap (20-50€, which are 34-85$).
best example http://www.ebay.de/i...9#ht_560wt_1396 (auction is over, so there is no problem with linking it)
what amazing sword!!! Really lucky the guy who got it!
Its incredible how people can spend the amount of money to feed a whole family on a single game equipment.
They really could do themselves and us a favor by replacing their cryptic error codes with a human readable message instead of explaining them on the forums.
The funny thing is people selling those weapons for like 1-15$ are probably raking in cash selling items and the guy sitting with his up for 180$ now is stuck for a day and half with it not selling.
just FYI molster buddy there are some of your RL BNet friends' names showing in the chat logs
i'll be tempted to buy a fun powerful legendary than a boring slightly more powerful rare...since that won't happen until 1.1 (or later) I'm sure I won't even be toggling my currency until then
So who believed that RMAH was going to make prices drop again?
Good thing this game was never really competive however for i'm less inclined to play diablo 3 now with this coming up, while it first i though to be indifferent, considering how this will effect gold AH prices aswel if some big gold sellers branches jump on this they could pretty much start artificially controlling prices to keep the gold to real life currency ratio as high as possible.
What generally screws over gold AH prices, even if we exclude the theory of gold sellers investing in that market and the RMAH becomes very populair to the most populair method you won't be getting any upgrades at reasonable prices.
The prices are going to drop, but not on the very first day.

Crazy ass weapon, probably be best in slot until the expansion.

Friend of mine put an amulet up for 250$, and it sold in seconds.
Granted it was basically best in slot material (270 dex, socket, over +50% critical hit damage and a bunch of other stuff I don't recall), but still.
Sold +70 resist stormshield and a 1080dps 1h for $50 a piece. If people are actually selling at $250, more power to them. I'll take what I got all day, every day ^^
What some of you guys seems to forget, there actually are people who makes Way more money than they can spend and they Will use them to buy stuff to get best geared in a game, so even if You would not pay some prices, there will Always be someone who can buy it to get the best gear possible
(For example, in WoW: TBC, a guy who got full T6 gear with both legendary swords from Illidan sold his account for 5000 EUR, which is a crazy amount of money but it will just show how far people will go to get the best gear possible)

Curious what you actually managed to sell
