Phase 3: Profit !

Where to go

Last Saturday, I bought 20 stacks [Saronite Bar] for 40g each stack, while the market price was 60g. The price lowered to 42g on Sunday and remained there since then.
While the market reports from US that indicate prices of goods on Northern will drop soon (Since the people will come back and farming for gold), I had a hard time to get rid of them.

I had to consider

1. Accept my lose, to sell the bars at 35-38g
2. or, get hold of the bars to wait for a “possible” raise of them in the future.

I was thinking of 1. for the last minutes before the patch 3.1 .

But then, Comes my Savior

My Companion Saronite Arrow Maker

One of my guild mate ask me for the [Saronite Razorheads]. I peek on the auction hall and thought there were no profits at all. 6g for 200 arrows. 6gx5=30g.
I was mumbling that until I crafted the [Saronite Arrow Maker] and when I was able to mail him, I notice the line (10 uses) for the first time.
It was 5 uses for [Adamantite Arrow Maker] before, so I assume it remains.

Now that’s 50% profit margin, while I had lots of [Saronite Bar] stockpiled! I’ll just convert them to arrow maker each day and sold them by 200 a time. I even post a maker for 36g, just to test out the market (Which of course in a much lower profit margin of 20g vs 6g).

And it turn out, no one was buying the makers, but all my arrows sold out. On the day follow, I noticed someone was flooding those arrow maker as well, e.g. 10-15 @ price 35g. However while he wants to undercut me on the maker, he didn’t list an single arrow. And… my arrows are all sold again.

I guess 3.1’s come in bring back a lot of rusher, and that’s why my arrow sold like candy in skrooge’s word (not just common candy, addictive candy). Every arrow maker’s arrow sold will save me another half stack of [Saronite Bar] losing. Thanks for supporting the “Saronite Bar Post 3.1 Recovery Fund”.

While a lot of people talks about the [Mammoth Cutters] and [Saronite Razorheads] (JMTC, Gevlon, Skrooge). I never witness such a ___ thing before(Stupid/Weired/Strange I can’t find the right word).

Thanks for escape route for me

Side Note:
I was lucky this time, but I wonder how I’ll deal with another cut-loss situation next time though

How would you deal with it, when you feel yourself got into trouble?

I had adapted a weekly update per week is a nice thing. While I had many little thing noticed a long the week, I would like to have a sumary post on the little thing and news to share. I’ll schedule the post ons Sunday Morning, for the summary of the week.

Share

My plans for future posts is to schedule posts every two days, about 6-8 am in the morning on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. and with a Sunday Weekly update. Occasionally with hot news updates.

The reason behind this is,

1. I don’t want to flood the blog with posts (people tends to miss out the second new post, if that happens, and I want them in full coverage)

2. a well-seasoned post everyday is a bit hard for me. But I would read blog, email and comments daily though.

News

Gevlon’s Return,the whole event come shortly in a few days.  In Summary
1. Gevlon Hit the Gold Cap.
2. Gevlon Missed for a few day, many commenter guessing what’s going on
3. Gevlon posted a post on LF Guild, and state his term of find a new guild, if failed he’ll stop blogging.
4. Since Gevlon post do not allow blogging, many blogger post their view on their own site. (Including me, list will be on the next item)
5. Gevlon got deal finish in jsut a few days, and Announced he’ll continue blogging.
6. Everyone is happy (Expect those M&S and Socialist maybe?)

Change of Name

Okay, I had changed the name from “Zekta’s Stuff” to Phase3Profit.net (Reason), Since Zekta’s Stuff is too generic here. I also made a small picture with model viewer for the new name here, hope you like it.

Linking Policy

I had wrote a page on my linking policy, the reason of writing that is…. Instead of blocking people ask for link. What I really wants is to encourage them from asking, since I found a little hesitate to ask when I just started blogging.

New Blogosphere member(s)
(that I come to notice):

Shy At Wow

From recommendation from Larísa, shy is a really good writer on her raid life
I like her writing style and humour tone, especailly this article.

Only Ten More PointsGlinda started blogging about achievement there, by the time of children week, I found that serving achievement achiever is very profitable, (and makes a better world for both of us (Traders and Achievers)). She had a great post of how to make profits on selling cakes. Glinda if you are reading this, Thanks for the reminder and keep the nice post coming. I’ll keep visiting you for your next tips

Not Another Mage Blog
Cassini was a old come-backer of Wow. Okay, I admit that I am not sure that what’s he’s going to focus on, but from the aspect of his class of choice and my toons, I guess I’ll get much interesting founding there. Will feature anything I found interesting later

There are also many sites I came to notice, will include more later

Note to self, make a new nice topic pic for the report

Change of name

No, Your link is not hijacked
I had change my blog name! previous known as Zekta’s Stuff!

[Start - boring background, skippable]
I was write a main blog, and here was some random thoughts dump..
But recently I found that I have more and more to say about WoW’s Trading here and many support from others.

The Name was Zekta’s Stuff, but it seems too generic and personal. So, I keep thinking about a new name for it.
[End - boring background]

So, I decided to hunt for a new name. While I am doing this, I find a new nice blog over

http://ahtrader.blogspot.com/2009/04/new-direction.html

by Marvco’s Suggestion. After reading his post, I got a sense “That’s also what I need to do too: Focus!”

Keep Focus!

Now, what I am going to do, Gevlon is really cool on the philosophy thinking on raid and market, Skrooge is good at all the fun stuff and encouraging discussion, and I won’t talk about Addon for sure.

What I excited me and get me interested, is the big question, Why?
There are reasons behind everything (Most of the time), and I am eager to find them out. It won’t be 100% of post here, since these topic is somewhat dull and hard to find(But I like it anyway).
I’ll try to pick once a week.

The Name, The Name

Here comes the hard part,

Most the great name had been taken, for instance (Goblin and Gnomish). I decided to use a catch phase of South park.
Phase 3, Profits

What Phase are we now?

What target of mine is to feel the gap on the big question mark, (of course it didn’t start at collect underpants)
Where is phase 1 and phase 2?
Where is Profits?
Why there are Profits?

that’s what I want to answer here.

I hardly can find any pic on gnome’s mage online
(other than what I made for myself)

if Mages are Psycho Fireball spammer
Which race can be more crazy than a gnome?
Anyone?

If you ask anyone,
do they care about pollution problem?
Most of them will say yes.

Same goes for teenager education,
welfare for elder,
poor children in mountain area,
[insert your concern here]….

Odds are, everyone concern about it,
but if you change the question a little bit…
Do you willing to donate $1 for the course,
they probably also said yes,
but with an excuse not doing it right now

It’s not that we are all cold-hearted,
the issue is there are too many of them,
and we can’t afford to be emotionally…
