No clue if this is the right place for this, if it is I’ll delete my post and move it, but anyway. Im a moderately new player whos only been playing for a week or so and at some point I stumbled across a feeble sword. Friend of mine suggested I use the Undermind Journal to price my finds, and at the time, the feeble sword was priced for roughly 2.5 million. This to me seemed outrageous, so I did some looking around and wasnt able to find anywhere to tell me what a good price for it would be, so I decided to come here. From the looks of it its a very worthless weapon, but I have no clue what is and isnt good in WoW so any help would be appreciated, thanks for you time.
Looking on wowhead it seems to be a grey item meaning it has no real value. A lot of white items are worth a reasonable amount for transmog reasons.
I personally use Trade Skill Master to value things, it scans the auction houses across many servers to get an average sale price for items and shows in the tool tip.
Sometimes people will put useless items up on the auction house for ridiculous prices in order to move gold around. Greys are worth their vendor price. Unless they have changed it so you can transmog white items, those are vendor fodder too. Greens might sell on the AH, but there are a few factors on that one including how cool it looks, and which gear slot it is for. If a green isn’t being used for transmog, it’s most likely going to be used for enchanting purposes, and not worth all that much more than it’s vendor price, so be sure to compare the listing price with the vendor price. It might not sell immediately, so if you have to list it multiple times you can end up spending more in listing fees than if you’d just vendored it.
AH pricing Addons base their suggested values on what a given item is historically listed for, not what it has historically sold for. The three most common reasons an item may be overpriced are:
- Cheap item used to transfer gold.
- Person trying to manipulate market for a limited availability item by driving up the Addon listing price.
- Popular or rare piece of a transmog set.
