How do auctions work in wow




















Some new players don't know that you can sort and it's just generally irritating. Plus, you will almost always get out bid, even if it's a higher price, for a stack of 10 or 20 vs clicking Buy 10 or 20 times. My 2 cents as an AH junkie aka 'Goblin' myself. Comment by darkblad00 Just a small edit is needed. Whether this is a bug or not I do not know, since I did not play in Vanilla, but that is how the Auction House deposit costs are working as of right now. Comment by ZhaunRong I just dropped back in to the classic realm for a bit of nostalgia and in the process put some goods up for auction.

When I got around to returning there had been no sales no funds or returned goods at mailbox and there was nothing showing at the AH. If this is the case, you can search for something similar. If this is the case, try a search for just "Fringed Cloak" and it will bring up the items in a series.

This will give you an idea of what your item is worth, even though the exact one may not be listed. If you cannot find any similar items, you have a few more options. One is to go to a vendor and see how much they will give you for the item don't sell it to them, just hover your mouse over the item to see what it is worth. You can normally get several times the amount the vendor will give you in the Auction House. So go back and post it for times the vendor amount. You could also just post the item with a relatively low starting bid don't put a Buyout price on it though , likely the item will be bid up to about what it is worth by the end of the auction.

Alternatively, you can just wait until you see a similar item on the auction house, or ask around - your guild mates are a great resource!

First, you can leave your alt in a major city and mail your items to it, so that your other characters don't have to travel back and forth.

As your other characters obtain items that you wish to auction, it is easy to just drop those items into the nearest mailbox for your auction house mule to pick up later, thus freeing up precious bag space.

Recent patches have removed the time delay for mailing items between your alts, so your items will be available for auctioning right away. Secondly, having an auction house mule allows you to keep your auction house inventory separate from the items that your other characters have in their inventories. You don't have to remember which items are flagged for posting or re-posting, or organize your inventory to keep those items separate.

Auctions that don't sell will come back to the auction house alt, instead of back to your main. Finally, using an auction house alt also provides you anonymity.

It's possible that if you are involved in heavy trading or practices that some see as ethically questionable such as trying to corner a market some players may hold it against you.

Therefore your alt can protect your main's reputation. Posting auctions from an anonymous mule also prevents whispers at inconvenient times from other people to ask about items that you have posted. Twinks often seek out the best possible items that they can equip at their current level. These items are always in high demand at the Auction House. Battleground twinks especially will pay high prices for the best items usable at level 19, 29, etc.

If you come across one of these items, especially BoE rare items with good PvP qualities, you will get a very good amount of money by selling it via the Auction House.

Sometimes a scammer will repeatedly post a piece of vendor trash or another less-than-valuable item at extremely high prices. The idea is to get people who are scanning with Auctioneer or other AddOns to collect this bad data.

Then the scammer will post the item for a much lower but still expensive price, hoping to bait others into buying what they think is a good deal. Sometimes you'll see common items like trade goods listed for extremely high buyouts, like Strange Dust for gold. There are two ideas behind this scam. First, the scammer hopes some poor fool will click on the auction by accident or not notice the erroneous price. This may not happen very often, but when it eventually does, the scammer makes a lot of money.

Another version of this scam has the scammer setting a very low starting bid but high buyout. For example: Heart of Fire for 1 bid and buyout. The scammer hopes that in the ensuing bidding war, someone will accidentally click "buyout" instead of "bid.

Plus it is less likely to happen now because there is now confirmation box before a buyout is made. Sometimes people check the AH for blue or epic items that are the only ones who are being sold at that moment. However, you will lose the deposit that you paid when first placing the item up for auction.

The deposit fee , or listing fee , is the amount of money needed to place an item up for auction. It depends on the item's vendor sell price VSP and the amount of time you want to put the item up for auction.

The deposit is paid immediately when you list the item. This often happens with low-level fishes and enchanting reagents. The amount of money you will receive by mail will be the winning bid, minus the cut, plus the return of your deposit:.

When an item fails to sell, you will receive the item in the mail, but your deposit will not be refunded. When you cancel an auction that has no bids placed on it, you simply lose your deposit, and the item is returned to you by mail. When you cancel an auction that has a bid in place, you will lose your deposit plus a fee equal to the house cut of the current bid. Note that you can't bid on an item which you placed on auction to avoid paying the deposit, even if you use another character on the same account.

In most cases the house cut would be more than the deposit anyway. Auctions are a great tool for finding items you might need. These items can get expensive, so be prepared when locating and pricing items at auctions. Auctions are also a convenient means of getting rid of excess inventory one might not be able use due to level or class restrictions, or products that you make using your professions.

The game is set up so that some players get items they don't need while others who do need the items will find them difficult to obtain. An example of this is cloth since every player will get more cloth than they'll use for first aid, but tailors need a constant supply. So the auction house is designed to be an integral part of the game. Auction house prices reflect, as well as directly influence, the inflation ratio of the economy. Whether buying or selling, your most important resource is information.

For buyers, you need to know whether the price for an item is a bargain you can't pass up or a rip-off you should stay away from. For sellers, you need to set a price low enough for the item to sell quickly, but no lower than that. What you can find out directly from the auction house is the current supply of an item and an idea of its 'going rate'. Unfortunately, the action house does not display what the item was selling for in the past, so if no items are currently on sale the going rate is more difficult to estimate.

If there are few auctions for a specific item, try looking up similar items as well to get a clearer picture. What you can't find out directly from the auction house is what is the current demand for an item. For example, you may have an item to sell and, seeing that the going rate based on 4 players having the same item for sale for g, you put the item on sale for g feeling confident that you've undercut the competition.

The problem is that just because there are five people trying to sell the item for g doesn't mean there are any people willing to buy the item for g, as you may discover when the item comes back to you 48 hours later. The vast majority of auctions are unsuccessful, so finding the best price which will get your item sold in a reasonable time can be very tricky. Ideally, you'd check the item every hour for a week to get a complete picture of the current market on your realm, but that's not really practical.

Deposits are based on the Merchant Sell Value for the item. When you successfully sell the item, the deposit will be returned, but the auction house will take a percentage of the winning bid as its fee. Auction Houses are run by goblins and merchant cartels, so naturally, these greedy auctioneers will take their cut!

We recently made some significant updates to the Auction House, which you can read about here. All auction house sales are final. These fees cannot be refunded. What to do if you receive error "The auction house is closed at the moment. Please try again later" when trying to use the AH. Skip to Main Content. Overwatch League.
