30. How To Make Gold, Selling Gear (Patreon)
Content
In World of Warcraft, gear can be a good item to sell on the auction house for a profit. The value of gear depends on a few factors, such as its appearance and which expansion it was released in. An add-on like MogIt can be helpful for previewing gear and determining which pieces may sell well.
Green-quality gear can often sell well, especially if it looks nice. It's generally a good idea to sell current-expansion profession gear and gear that has a unique appearance. Raid gear and gear from TCG items can also be profitable, especially when they are first released. However, you may want to consider keeping raid gear for yourself to use, as having good gear can make it easier to farm and quest.
The prices for gear can vary, but as a general rule, you can expect to sell a green-quality level 64 piece for around 400 gold, depending on its appearance and the state of your server's economy. It's a good idea to use add-ons and do some research on your server's economy before posting items for sale on the auction house.
