How much time do you bother to spend pricing an item? Vendor off <100k gold items?

[mephuser1000]

It takes me around 2sec to 2min to price an item, vizier staffs are the fastest to price and rare weapons take the longest to price.

Due to limited auction slots, a trial-and-error "place and run, don't bother pricing" strategy (as suggested by several botters here) leads to plenty of unsold items and wasted auction slots.

Assuming that 1M gold gives $0.22 after Bliz+PP taxes, a 100k gold item should give like less than $0.02 per auction (GAH+Bliz+PP taxes). For me I don't even bother to vendor off these stuff, I just toss them onto the ground.

It seems like as the number of bots you run increases, time becomes a scarce resource. Even the guy who got: http://www.thebuddyforum.com/demonbuddy-forum/demonbuddy-ban-reports/84233-106-accounts-banned.html stated that he "just auto-vendored off everything" and converted it to plain gold.

I think the more bots you have, the only item that is worth looking for are the ones that go for 50m +. Like good trifectas rings and ammy that could go for 2bil +

Other items are just chump change. It's all about luck I guess. If someones running 10-20 bots, their chances of finding a gg trifecta item increases.

And salvage basically anything that isn't $4+.

12 accounts, 2 paypals

Ya seems like can get a full tab of stash filled in day. But only 1 sales per day. I end up just vendoring most.

 

[SeaweedMonkey]

whats the point of salvaging stuff? do you sell the material or something?

 

[swifty]

sell the good legendarys on rmah because they are fast to price, use personal judgement on rares if you think its worth 1m plus put it for minimum bid and let the market decide how much you get.
then sell all the gold, i usually have 100m-200m every 1d12h from my 4 level 100 paragon accs

I just list at 50k and if it doesn't get a bid in 3-4 hours, I vendor it. No need to waste time pricing things that way.

the problem with listing and letting it play out is the 36 hour waiting to sell once a bid is made, i price correctly and hopefully the buyouy gets a sales in under 6-12 hours.

Ive been taking all the random rings/ammys that are good, but not great, and posting them for 1-5m buyout. Quite a few of them sell. If they dont sell, I vendor. I vendor almost everything else unless I get a high dps rare weapon.

I stopped checking prices and only have 2 bots. The market is flooded on legendaries, Ive had better luck on jewlery.
