Vendor Your Uncommon Green Items?
There is a running joke at the moment with other gold makers and gold farmers that you should never vendor your greens. But I want to show you the exception to that rule.
I'm going to show you the easy way to choose whether you should Vendor, Disenchant, or Sell on the Auction House.
Once you have TSM installed, and the databases populated either with TSM Desktop App, or with a Full Scan of the AH, you will be able to mouseover your item and see a comparable set of values in the improved tooltip.
and for greens, blues, and purples you can see also the disenchanting values.
In the example above, we can see Market Value (my server!) of 50g 26s, the Global Sale Average of 27g 29s, Vendor value 26g 54s and Disenchant value of 46 silver.
From here its a simple case of choosing whichever is the biggest number: Whether the item sells best on the AH, whether it should be disenchanted or *wince* vendored. If you don't have an enchanter character, or any enchanting buildings in your garrison/s, then ask a guild mate or friend if you can use their enchanting building to d/e.
In this example shown, I have made the tricky decision to actually vendor this green. It is not worth much more than the vendor value, if I were to sell on the AH. It's worth almost nothing if it's disenchanted. You would be richer if you sold this item on to a vendor (26g) then bought the disenchant materials (46s) from the AH.
If it could be used by a leveling player, are you taking into account the secondary stats? … of the whale is not a popular item stat.
Fist weapons, wands, and offhands are not easy to sell. They can sell, but take into account that they will be more difficult.
In the next blog post I write, I'll show you How To put these trashy greens through the Auction House, and sell them to players who need/want them, and to make thousands of gold every day from the junk greens you find in your Salvage Crates.
