The Trade Channel





Like searching sales and bargain shopping, the city trade channel can be a source of important and gold-saving deals for the avid player.




Though searching for the right deal and the right buy can be time consuming, the advantages are multiple for the buyer and the seller.




The seller can avoid the selling fees of the Auction House, as well as benefiting from a quicker selling time. With discount around 10 or 20% at the trade channel, buyers and sellers are presented with I should note now that I do not recommend ever selling in the trade channel. 




The trade channel I consider a tool for someone who needs some quick gold. With time to set up a system where you can get the best prices available at the Auction House, there would be no need to sell at the trade channel. 




With excessive bids from advertisements, the trade channel can be a headache to anyone wishing to do serious business through that venue, unless absolutely necessary.




While 20% is a conservative estimate of the savings available buying at the trade channel, often items will skyrocket this  number. When a seller is clueless as to the real value of their item, a product can be sold for next to nothing, comparatively. 




Buying objects like Krol Blades or Molten Core items on the trade channel, and selling them for large markups at the Auction House can quickly build a small fortune through unknowing buyers, or make small profits over time more realistically.




Items that aren’t very well known can slip by very easily as well. I ended up buying a 1 in 15,000 drop Azure Whelpling pet for the bargain price of 2 gold from a seller who had no idea wat he had. 




These days,that pet goes for 300-500+ gold and is one of the rarest pets in World of Warcraft. If you’re willing to wade through the idiocy of the trade channel, you can find an incredible deal from time to time.
