Ever since the original Glyphmas, it seems a lot of people have been trying to predict a re-occurrence, but I usually don't bother making predictions. I prefer making preparations and reacting to what actually happens.
And what seems to be actually happening is a bit of a Glyphmas with all the boosted 90's. I say this based on two factors from my own experience over the last week: 1. Glyph sales have doubled, at least (last night's post cycle was about 4x typical sales); 2. Glyphs sell in large chunks, by class.
I recently transferred one of my inscriptionists to the Ally side of my new main real, Proudmoore, which is huge compared to Durotan, so glyph prices are lower than I'm accustomed to, but prices are steadier. As such, I've decided to just take a slice of the pie and not rock the boat. Over the first few weeks, I've made about 50k in sales, and I've been selling for at least 175% cost of mats, usually 200-300%, with some 800%+ outliers, I don't have the numbers right now, but I would estimate well over half of that 50k is profit. The past two weeks has got me up to 73k total in sales, and just after a post, I often see up to a dozen glyphs of one class sell immediately.
My reaction to this will be to maintain stacks of a large spread of glyphs (about 300 stacks), post/repost throughout the day more frequently, and mailbox dump every day, restocking with a focus on glyphs that are recommended by sites like Icy Veins, and list high on WoW Popular, especially minor glyphs.
Anyone else seeing a boost in sales? Anyone responding differently?
I've been trying to sell one glyph for about a month now for a very low price (6g or so, I'd list higher but others drove it down to that price) and it hasn't sold as of last night.
ReplyDeleteAt least in my very limited case I haven't see a huge increase in demand. :)
Some glyphs that are crafted while leveling Inscription, particularly those taught from the trainer, are worthless to craft because there are so many clogging up the AH. The one's that sell are the less common drops from Timeless Isle, Northrend and Minor Research, and Book of Glyph Mastery recipes.
