Finally, after close to 3 weeks of barely any presence in the glyph market my glyph stock is finally filled and I got 5 of each glyph sent to my new alts using BulkMail2 an addon I have had for a really long time without noticing it's true potential. What it does is that it lets me set my glyphs to be autoposted to my diferent alts, and they can be set my class so half of them goes to bankalt A and the other half to bankalt B with a single click. It sure beats putting every glyph in there manually.But to get back on recrafting and posting, I had almost forgotten how painful it was to make glyphs. If you really want to test someone's patcience just hand him a bunch of herbs and ask him to make glyphs out of them. If he hasn't made a whole through his screen by the 300th glyph you got someone with superhuman patcience or, if he giggles, someone who is incredibly easily amused and quite possibly crazy.
Now, in my last post I told you I wasn't sure on how I would set my pricing strategy, but I am now. I wont go into any details but I can tell you it's a combination between Gevlon's post method and the (in)famous QA2 camping. As I said, no details but I will tell you a little more about it once I got things set up, I expect to get quite some hatemails though.
That's all for today, hope you all will have a good day. I suggest you check out Carbon's post on subscribing. I've never tried it myself but as I am currently reading 16 diferent WoW blogs it's hard to keep track of them and after reading the post I decided to give it a try and was surprised of how easy it was. So I suggest that you all give it a try, both to encourage the writers (even those coldhearted goblins enjoys getting approval from their readers) and to simplify reading.
"just hand them a bunch of herbs and ask him to make herbs out of them"
ReplyDeleteSeems your strategy is not unlike my own at all and it has yielded some decent results thus far.
I have, however decided to not even stock up on the glyphs that are below 5g, meaning that every time i create a batch of glyphs its rarely ever more than 150 at a time.'
Also, how would one go about getting his blog hotlinked on your page? :)
Yea, those things happens when you've crafted more glyphs than is humanly possible and the key that you bound the skillet process macro to feels at least a few millimeters shorter than it used to be.
ReplyDeleteI just read through your first post on your blog and liked the looks of it so I've decided to put it in the blog list. Good luck!
Glad to have you back and posting Belsebub, and happy to hear everything is working out so well for you!
ReplyDeleteI never craft onesies or twosies of glyphs. I start with a stack of 20 (One time cost...) then only craft the ones that are at least 8 down.
ReplyDeleteResult? I craft about 200 to 250 a day, but rarely more than 30 different kinds. And then, I batch them by vendor (3 vendors) So it's really rare that I need to send more than one mail to each vendor.
I stock every glyph. Sure, I don't post ones that are under threshold... but they're there ready to go when that glyph goes up in price again.
But then... I'm superhumanly patient AND crazy.

ReplyDeleteThanks, it's good to be back. And things are starting to work out really well, just wait until tomorrow's post ;)
@Liene
That is a choice that everyone have to do themselves, I feel that I can manage with 5 of each as I craft often enough (I've started doing it almost every day) to make such stocks unnecessary and you will still have to craft just as many glyphs as someone with a stack of five will.
Belsebub:
ReplyDeleteTrue. I do it that way because it's a one time cost, as opposed to butting up against your glyph cap every day. Many times I've had those 'few extra glyphs' I needed during peak sales of a certain type.
Now... to be fair... when starting up a glyph business you'll have to do it in steps simply because of the sheer amounty of crafting required. My new operation on a different server is up to 10 glyphs now.
Also, think about what you said: "...you will have to craft just as many glyphs as someone with a stack of five will" True! But I won't run out of glyphs and wonder "What glyphs went there?" Nor will I lose sales when a glyph peaks in sales, which occurs all the time.
