I think the most I've made off of buying an item low and selling higher is a few 100K but to start off this thread, I'll just start off with a 65K profit people can add tips and ideas if they want, but my buy low, sell high method is purely coincidence and I just do it when I'm trying to determine a price for an item I'm going to put on AH and find something that appears to be underpriced + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/cFh1k.jpg) | ||

The only tips I could give is look for great items with no buyout price. Bid it so it would keep track in your auction tab. Wait until the timer run out and bid till you think you are not in for the profit. You can also sort by highest buyout and start from page 3. Great items : Barb: Str / Vit / High Res all Monk : Dex / Vit / High Res all DH: Dex / Crit Dmg / AS WD/Wiz: Int / AS / High Res all | ||

I think I've hit a wall on this strategy, though. Sitting on 1300 Dex and 143% MF from armor gear with less than 400k gold spent total. Unlike armor, I found underpriced MF+Stats ammys and rings to be very rare. Edited the amount of Dex I got from just armor. | ||

Why is it you got so much from those crossbows just because of socket? Crit dmg gem that good for DHs? While on that topic, what is actually the best stats in the current meta for each class. Help me so i wont continue to undersell like a retard. | ||

I picked 2H socketed xbows because as a DH I always need them. It is better to have a socketed 2H xbow with 900 dps than an unsocketed with 1000. It doesn't matter what I would have picked, whether it is 1 handed weapons (probably a better market to be honest as more classes use them and there is more activity), people list things for dirt cheap either by mistake, because they want a quick sale/ have no understanding as to how much their item is worth. I picked one thing and stuck with it because I would be familiar with the prices and would know when to instantly buy something or not, and often that is the difference between getting a 950 dps weapon for 70k which I sell for 500 and not. | ||

For what it's worth I haven't made over 10% in the AH on an item for about a week because demand seems to be lower and supply higher. But in addition I haven't been as interested because I have all the gear I want and am focusing on HC. The key is to get an idea for an item's equilibrium price. Right now on Europe you can get a 2h socketed xbow with 955 dps for about 300k. If you buy something for 300k and sell for 400k you make 40k profit. If you sell for 500k you make 125k profit. 600k = 210k etc. If you set the buyout to 600k you can see that the xbows are roughly 975 dps. So if you see a 980 dps bow for 300k you instantly buy it because you know you can sell it on (quickly) for 589,999. When I was doing this more heavily about ten days ago the difference in DPS was greater so that 980dps would sell for about 1m so you had greater scope to make money. You just need to search for items all the time. I don't mean sit there pressing refresh (you could do this if you wanted to), but every time you log in, search. Every time you leave a game, search. Every time you begin an AH session, search, then search at the end of an AH session. Search after you update your spreadsheet. Searching often is how you find the best deals. | ||

I mean, if I"m shopping and I see something way underpriced, I'll do it but sitting and specifically looking for that stuff is a real pain and doesn't work all that well. It's good to sell stuff that you bought at half the price, but it's even better to sell stuff that you got for free. | ||

can't sorry, but it had about 180 dex 37% crit damage and a socket. Search for items with empty sockets, buy them, put a gem in and resell. People will search for >210 dex so this won't show up on their radar until you actually put a gem in. | ||

Bought about 200 amus 195str 99vita for about 9k sold each for 40-45k Many rings 14eg random add, 15ias 69+ int/dex each for about 7-8k, selling for 20-35k And many more... Everything is from that Act3 merchant, so Im not even robbing actual people xD PS: You can make 10M+/day doing this if you are lucky  Though normal profit is around 2-5M... Everything in this game is simply so disappointing, anytime I see item I want I dont care about 1-2M overprice it means nothing to me - in D2 you had to be hunting runes and doing mf runs for weeks, here everything is so badly designed that most really really really good items are simply worth not more than 5-10 hours of my time lol. Not to meantion that even stupid gold runs can make about 400k gold in hour... And if you are rly dedicated, you can be selling items from vendors while doing gold runs, make 15M in day and build decent char with just that.Just sayin´ | ||

The item is called "The Three Hundredth Spear" and it is a low dps legendary weapon, but it has magic find. Probably a lot of you guys know about it, but you probably don't know that people are constantly putting them up for prices as low as 50k to 500k. Each one sells for about a million gold atm. Here are some screen shots to show you guys: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/VmjvH.png) + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/9p1Dh.jpg) One of the keys to buying things is adjusting buyout prices because of the way searches work across the auction house servers. We only realized this because all three of us had been doing it at the same time and seeing completely different items than each other based on the buyout we input, even though the buyout amount should have included the spears the others were seeing. My friends are still doing this today and making a ridiculous amount of gold from it and you can too TL! I look forward to hearing about your successes, but remember, there are bots doing it now so if you want to make as much as we did you would have to get your own (I am not condoning the use of AH bots, just being honest about our methods). | ||

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... | ||

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... ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/zkyI8.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/msW53.png) 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 think I had 5,000 to begin with, now I have 6,700,000 and counting. I like to think of Diablo 3 as Wall Street Simulator. Tried my hands on several, and I don't think it is that risky. However, I am very conservative with my investments, so my gains are all very slow. | ||

I would search for Magic Find + Dex gear for my DH and usually find an underpriced item at the first search. I would buy it and start using it for a little bit. A bit later, if I searched for the same criteria again, someone else had priced an even better item for even lower! I ended up in a cycle where I would find better and better magic find gear and sell the old gear for profit. I think I've hit a wall on this strategy, though. Sitting on 1300 Dex and 143% MF from armor gear with less than 400k gold spent total. Unlike armor, I found underpriced MF+Stats ammys and rings to be very rare. Edited the amount of Dex I got from just armor. Same can be said for gold find armor. I do exactly the same thing. Buy upgrades and sell the old stuff at a profit. I guessing GF and MF armor will soon start to rise in price as people more or less finish their "main" armor sets for end game, I think it might be worth hanging onto your pieces for a while. Then again it's not like you sacrifice that much to get that GF/MF on your armor. | ||

If you find some good deals on the Gold AH, you can get that pretty easily. I've been searching for high armor, high resist, and high life on hit items, you can usually find 2-3 good items for under 1M each that will all sell for around 25-30$. Found a amulet that was 650+ life on hit, 80 vit, 45 dex, with a socket, and sold it for 50$ (cost 200k). Also found a chest piece that was +70 all res, 398+ armor, with 2 sockets, that sold for 30$ (for 400k) Right now there isn't that many tank items on the RMAH, everything is DPS based. So if you find a great %life, high all resist, and/or high armor item for around 2-3M, you can easily get rid of it for around 40-50$ On June 26 2012 10:12 Snausages wrote: 1300 dps 2hander with around 400 LoH, %50 dmg it was my first resale, and I'm really pleased with the profit I netted That would have EASILY sold for 60M. That high dps AND life on hit? Its like 6M for anything over 1.2k DPS, and 10M for anything over 1.3k (atleast for X Bows, but when i checked, their DPS scaling was similar to other 2H). | ||

So I said well let me search for 4 or more crit chance and only 2 were listed one for 4 million and the other for 4999 gold so I insta bought it and actually got it! So used to getting an error saying the item was already sold. So 4999 gold probably worth ~2,000,000, maybe more and the person thought they were putting it on the rmah for $49.99. Just doing quick searches over the weekend I spotted a helmet with only 3 crit, but higher dex than the one listed above and 19mf just put up for 2m(so 150+ dex, 3 crit, socket, 19mf). I bought it figuring I could at least flip it and double my money if I wanted because of the mf, but decided to keep it and sell my old one purchased at 4999. It didn't sell the first time for 3m, I think I could have gotten it a week ago, but it did sell overnight on the 2nd listing for 2m; so a profit of 1,995,001. | ||

Nothing, it was late so I just went straight to bed. Didn't expect to sell it that quickly. But I could add 2 normal flawless square to make it 200+ vit. So overall 200+ vit, 8% life and 70 all resist. I think 15 mil ain't too high, I don't think u can find any chest like that on AH. | ||

I have only made a few trades by casually buying some cheap stuff I saw while checking prices. And made a profit every single time, not once I lost money. Most gold with a single trade single trade was buying a shield for 7 million and reselling it for 13. If I would actually put effort into this and check often for new items, make excel sheets with prices etc, it would be so much more earnings than by farming. But I think its really lame. | ||

Anyone including a 70% gem is being a bit foolish I think. I doubt the majority of buyers take the time to do the calculation, and simply do a search for a crit % cut off. Those who think enough to check the gem price are probably also going to think enough to buy a socketed un-gemmed weapon. Also, we must all do our part by paying AH taxes to support public services such as cobblestone roads and teleporters. How else would we farm efficiently? | ||

High vitality roll, almost max resist and an additional resist, good for a monk. I believe damage is really secondary for tanks. If it had 200+ dex as well it would be well in the 30M+. Move speed is great on boots, but it's not required for melee classes to have a high value item. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/U6HBI.jpg) Patch 1.4 is coming soon. Patch 1.4 is where they buff all the legendaries. Since 1.3 the price for fiery brimstone has gone from 24k to 170k It will never be this low again. The chance to get brimstone from salvaging level 60 legendaries is still 100% ofc. I've sunk many tens of millions into brimstone. via junk legendaries. I think it'll turn a pretty good profit post 1.4. | ||

Personally U need max iAS is obvious, next is disc first, then crit chance, beside that as high dex and vit as possible. 140 dex is fine if you want to merch quivers for 50k.... AS is great but unfortunately you cant search for it, which hurts sales and finding ones to flip. 170+ is not hard to find, at all. I literally have 25 assorted 170+ dex/crit with other bonus stat quivers on backlog to sell, and 80% of them are over 180dex. I believe I am the largest quiver merchant on the US server, I actually had to stop selling for a few days because I accidently drove market prices down too much. The number one rule of flipping is that its not important how good an item actually is, only what idots will pay for it. | ||

Gems are tricky as hell-- if you pay close attention, their price rises/falls follow a pretty predictable pattern, but margins are razor thin (you lose 15% of your sell price remember). You can make money, but you need to be pretty astute, and it ties up tens of millions for hours or half-weeks for hundreds of thousands of profit. | ||

On the one hand, a lot of people will dump post patch. On the other hand, modifications to legendaries will permanently link the price of brimstone to the price of top tier weapons/armor, and since crafting requires a couple brimstone usually, and salvaging yields only one, more crafting = more brimstone being removed from the market. Since the drop rate of legendaries won't be buffed, and since less are coming from rares, I kind of wonder about the long term price of them as being permanently higher. But you're right though, it will definitely peak pre-patch, drop a bit post-patch, but I wonder about how high the eventual rise afterwards will be. I guess safe money is selling some pre-patch, and holding on to some. *shrugs* I've got my two stacks of brimstone acquired at around 160k average. We'll see how the price moves and keep it all in mind. | ||

1. You are assumed that Legendaries will be better. But how much better? 2. Remember that the longer it takes to buff them, the more awesome rares entering the market. With Blizzard track record, the buff on legendaries may not be enough for people to considering to upgrade their gears. 3. Now that more people are caught on with Fiery Brimstone, whoever started this gonna flip all the stones and laugh from all the profits. | ||

Well itemization is the biggest issue with the endgame right now, and there's a big fire under blizzards ass to fix itemization. Legendaries have been the biggest complaint on this since day1, and will be fixed in 1.4. The buff to Natalya's set was reviewed, and a blue posted that the set bonus in Natalya's was where they wanted to be headed with Legendaries. 2. Fair critique, not sure how much an impact. 3. We'll wait and see :D | ||

Well, there most definitely are D3 auction house bots, whether or not they're looking for legendaries or not is questionable. I think the saddest part of D3 is that playing D3 stock market is far more exciting and lucrative than the actual game. I haven't been "excited" in any part of the game since the first week I played. But I still get little chills when I search for an item, enter search terms, and a lowball price, and one item comes up, with 1 day 12 hours beside it. | ||

I got all of my two stacks by doing this. I despise bots. Also, if you put a unique number in the buyout price, you can see new, just posted auctions since searches are cached for 5min or so after the first unique search. If you reuse the same search terms, it gives you an old, cached listing of auctions, so you'll never be able to snag anything that's 1d12h by reusing the same search. i.e. -search level 60, legendary, 1h, buyout price 12312318 -search level 60, legendary, 2h, buyout price 12312318 ..... -search level 60, legendary 1h, buyout price 12491910 you'll see the 1d12h auctions this way on a hot commodity like junk legendaries, otherwise they'll get bought out before you even see them. | ||

We're all fairly sure that tons of gold is being produced by bots, but what actual statistics are there to go on? I'm sure Blizzard knows, but they're not going to tell us. People cite the massive deflation in item value in the past few weeks, but couldn't that just be due to the drop table changes for A1/A2 leading to a completely different distribution of items for sale, one that is more skewed toward better items? | ||

So far my best was buying a crit damage+socket 1H for 30k and reselling for 1.5m, or buying an unsocketed 110 dex +discipline 3 open socket DH cloak for 700k socketing it with flawless square emeralds and reselling for 2m Just keep doing what you understand the most. And you gotta research it yourself cuz not many want to share their secrets | ||

The funniest I've done is buy for 600k and sell for 550k ... Not sounding so good right? But here's the catch, the item was socketed and had a Flawless Star Ruby in it worth ~2M. Laughed my ass off when I saw this item for sale, haha. | ||

Lol these are the best, and I've done it a few times myself, although not with that nice of a gem in them. As for the guy who wanted tips....I don't really look for things to flip. I just go bargain hunting for my monk upgrades, more or less, and snap up anything i find that is underpriced. The thing about most great deals is that you have to be able to recognize them almost instantly, and doing that takes time. Some things are obvious, like finding a socketed item with a huge gem selling for less than the gem is actually worth, but even then, you have to know what the gem is actually worth to begin with. For the most part, you have to understand a class or piece of equipment pretty well to be able to instantly recognize deals. A big reason for this is the 3 search limit. For example, searching for gloves with 150 dex, 80 vit, 60 AR, you can find them all over the place, in all kinds of price ranges from under a hundred thousand to millions. You start at the bottom, checking everything 1 day 11/12 hrs. Maybe it'll be your lucky day and you see one at the bottom with 177 dex, 87 vit, 68 AR......50 lightning resist, 3.5% crit chance. The "comparable stats", or, basically what you entered in the search options make it seem reasonably priced compared to the others around it, but you have to know instantly that those extra two attributes make it worth many times above the other gloves around it are worth, that don't have those attributes. I use gloves as an example....because the chances of you finding gloves like that is VERY small, because most people actually would search for dex, AR, and crit chance on gloves. But the same principles applies to many items. Things like sockets and legendaries make it all even more complicated, because it's a lot more variable. I will tell you that things with a main stat, gold find in the 20s, magic find >15, and +gold/globe pickup radius is a thing, and they sell for much more than you would think. I don't usually shop for that stuff, and am not an expert on specific pricing, but i do know if you're crafting and a roll comes up with those attributes, DO NOT SALVAGE. A pair of gloves with the attributes i named might seem worthless, but I sold a pair for 700k in minutes, so I probably underpriced it a decent bit. | ||

Let's say you have two items with 2,5% each, that's 5% total. And your dps is 150k. In inferno this translates to: 150000*0,05*0,2=1500 life per second. And additionally if you have 800 loh, and 2 attacks per second you have a total of 1500+(2*800) = 3100 hp/sec. This is kinda nice, don't you think? Healing 30k hp in 10 seconds? The life steal is only good if you have a fuckton of DPS. That's why I would only value life steal on high-end equipment...Like that crossbow... | ||

The only thing has life steal is weapon, and it's a 2h xbow so you can only carry 1. Also if u can get to 150k dps raw w/o SS, you resist probably under 100, so you're most def. glass cannon. There's no point of getting LoH, even against reflect damage all you need is gloom. | ||

It's not like you gimp defensive stats just to get higher dps, there is more than enough room on items to have top end dps and high defensive stats. You'll pay through the teeth for it in the AH, but this is a thread about the AH, and that accounts for the higher cost. dmg to life is a really good stat for DH on a weapon-- it doesn't always get valued properly in the AH, but it's a good stat. | ||

It's decent for a monk/barb looking to pad their dps a bit and not give up too much survivability. It'd be amazing with resists, but it's good because theres always a tradeoff in melee classes between damage and mitigation, so people that run melee often have several pieces with both mitigation/survivability stats and dps stats to get the right mix. | ||

^almost all of those were sniped and sold for at least 10 times as much as I payed lol. The signet and jousting combined costed me 11.5mil, rofl. Every single goldskin was purchased under 100k. It's amazing how often people misprice, and how easy it is to snipe deals with the new AH mechanic. Made over 500mil profit in 3 days lol. Funniest thing is that I started this patch with less than 30mil since I sold all my gold a while ago. | ||
