I'm trying to make some quick gold.So, I'm selling a lot of stuff on the auction house for really cheap.
I'm looking and I see some of the items are already up there for 100K, 200K gold buyout. I'm putting those same exact items up there for 50K and 60K gold buyouts, and my auctions are not selling.
Do people not look well enough for auctions? Or is there some kind of trick that I'm missing out on?
There are a number of factors that may be going on.
1) Those crazy high listings may not be selling either.
2) You may not be evaluating what the items desirable enough to profit from are.
3) You may be evaluating just fine, but the selling points tend to polarize: (NOTE: this is pure speculation) People are likely to splurge for the absolute best item they can OR set a low gold cap for their search and try to get a smaller upgrade at a more reasonable price. By selling in the middle price range, you may be missing out on more targeted shopping searches.
4) There is a lot of gear on the market, and supply may be outstripping demand by a lot right now.

I grew up gaming without internet forums. The entire phenomenon of being upset with a game developer makes no sense to me. No sense. I cannot imagine spending my time and energy being upset about something I choose to do for recreation.

I never thought about point 3.
People might be searching for gear in a particular price range, and not seeing my stuff because it's so low.
Your all wrong... I did the same thing. Undercut for quick cash. Sometims items didnt sell im like wtf.. So instead of wIting another day for it to sell I ask a buddy go buy it out. He puts in the exact specs price everything and he cant find it. I asked another buddy and he couldnt find it. Theres a bug right now sometimez acutions just dont get posted. and its complete bullshit. Happens more when the auction house is laggyer. Ive had to wait 2 days on 10 items because of this. I called blizzard they say post on the forums we cant help over the phone. I post on bug forum no response. And I see other people posting things about it but no blue reply....
I refuse to use RMAH until I see this issue addressed let alone fixed... They get a dollar for everything you post and sometimes it wont get posted? Wtf...

Great explanation. +1
I'm having the same issue where I'm really undercutting my sales, but they're just not selling. I think point 1 is probably the most important reason.

Have you tried just searching for your items that arent selling? If you cant find it you caught the bug.

They take $ out of the proceeds. It never costs money to list, even if the auction fails to sell.
