Same here... asswipes who are buying low and selling high are making tons of gold, sure, but they are driving up the prices for everyone else in the process.
Then there's people like you who use bots and REALLY drive up the prices, not to mention screw others over who are "honestly" trying to buy low and sell high by snatching up the low prices items before any person can ever click on it. Don't be a dick, its really not that hard...

When I flip on the AH I usually go for ammys and rings, if not only for the reason that they're 1x1 items rather than 1x2, making it easier for me to stash and sell.
For the people that are selling items at unusually low prices, it's not my problem that they don't check the AH before pricing their item because of laziness or stupidity. Their loss, my profit. For instance, I managed to do this a couple days ago...

Whoever was selling that could've easily checked the AH and found that it sells for at least 1m gold before putting it in. Most of my flips are strictly gold for gold though as I need moar gold for gear :D
And I usually always resell my item at a price 10-20k lower than the lowest one of similar stats on the AH, because I need to move inventory. If I price it too tight (which I am guilty of too many times even now), inventory stays and it takes >12h to sell, or worst case it just goes untouched for 36h which wastes my slot when I can be constantly moving my items in 1-2h or less by taking a 8-10k loss per item. Undercut, undercut, undercut is the name of the game to make a big profit in flipping.

I honestly don't even remember what the item was exactly. I think it was some Bracers with 175 Dex, Vit, Crit %, and maybe even MF. Kind of wish I could toss a few bucks to the guy I bought them from, really.

LOL, you are welcome. If you read what i wrote i said my friends use bots, not me. I have a mac so can't use one. But if TL doesn't want to use my info then I guess i can just post it on reddit or something.

Thanks for the help. Seriously if everyone is so adamant against bots etc (not saying they shouldn't be), then they should at least be informed of what botters are doing. Your information is very valuable.

What you wrote fully implies you were involved with botting.

exactly... involved in, but not doing, so i can't get banned. Not that it really matters since we profitted so much. Anyway, as i said i am not here to justify what I did. I don't care if people like me for it or not since it was a business. Just passing along info, use it if you want or don't.

Bought bow with nice crit + dex and socket. Added 45% crit to it and sold for this nice profit.

Adding gems to socketed weapons is a must when selling. Your item looks much better with +50 damage.
Edit: lol typo

Now that attack speed is being nerfed as we speak, I was buying a couple of INT Lacuni Bracers for about 2million and they were reselling in RMAH for $25. Now being about $10 (postfee) per 1 million gold, I'd say that was pretty good, compared to the current rates gold farmers are selling at: $4/mil I believe.

Best 1 yet for me.
Bought an open socket crossbow 1020dmg for 200k, added in a gem and resold for 3.8mil.

Nice, 1h or 2h?

Damn, this looks incredibly fun and profit-yielding, maybe I should start to do this in a serious manner as well. ^^

it's not as fun as it looks. in fact it's incredibly boring but a lot of people are botting this so don't be fooled by every screenshot you see.
