When using the auction house, bid prices can give you a sweet edge on the competition. Setting your bid price bellow a competitors bid/buyout prices can let people see your auctions first if they use the default search. There are a few simple tips that I follow when listing up auctions that can give me the upper hand.
- Don’t go overboard. If you list up dozens of auctions expecting your low bids to beat out the competition, your mailbox may be full of returns.
- Know your market. If you are playing around in a market you aren’t used to, be weary, low bidding on things like glyphs can really crash a market for everyone.
- Never go bellow what you will take. The lower you post your bids, the better your chances of being seen and getting burned.
- Small markets don’t work. If you are one of a dozen, this method usually won’t work.
- You can always cancel. If you feel like you are going to lose on the low bid system, don’t forget that you can always cancel. You lose the deposit, but it could save you more in the long run.
