One thing about many World of Warcraft players is that they want things handed to them on silver platter. This means that if you are able and willing to travel the world and find the limited supply items from vendors, then you can cash in on these players. Many times, players may know where something can be found, but they don’t want to make the trip to go get it. They don’t want to spend an extra 20 minutes traveling to another continent, getting to the vendor in order to get their item.
If you can, and are willing to do so, then take advantage of that and hike the price a bit when you place it on on the auction house. Sure, some people will complain, and you may see it in trade chat. But, hey if they weren’t so lazy they could have got it at the price you did! Why should you not make a profit for doing the hard work for them?
There are plenty of these items found throughout the game, but here’s a very short list to get you started…(As you discover new areas, always keep a notepad and write down the limited supplies you find. Check each vendor and look for items that have only a certain number of them available)
