Please submit this to rphotoshopbattles <| sep |> I ' ve done this process many times . For low pop to high pop , finding some good flips can be challenging , and you might be stuck with slower moving items tmog , pets , mounts etc being the only profitable investments . For high pop to low or medium pop , this can be a very profitable exercise indeed , at times I ' ve even trippled by investment . I tend to do some messing around in excel , using the rather convenient excel realm downloads from wowuction to compare prices , focussing on trade goods which have a demand of 30 % or more where possible . The basic rules I follow are 1 take a wide variety of stock , you ' ll never be able to accurately predict exactly what will and won ' t sell , and if you take too much of a single item , you ' re at risk of crashing the market for it on the new server . 2 Try to only take stuff that ' s 20 % cheaper on the source server to cover undercuts , price fluctuations , posting costs and the AH cut . 3 Focus on stuff that ' s got decent rates of demand , or it ' ll take months to sell , and prices may shift significantly over the period 4 If you ' re moving from a low pop to high pop , take as much gold as possible , the reverse for high pop to mid or low , invest it all in that case . 5 Set a max to take per item , based on how much of that item sells per day on the new realm . I tend to use a max of between 50100 % of total daily sales on the new realm per item . May be able to provide further realm specific advise if you PM me about which realms you ' re going from too . Edited for clarification . From the sounds of your circumstances reading it again , as other posters have said , if you meet the criteria , I think a guild transfer and taking mostly gold will be your best bet , but read the FAQ clearly , there are fairly stringent conditions required to qualify for it .
