There are probably set times that folks on your server raid the high-end instances. Right before those raids start, many raid members pillage the Auction House to pick up their typical raiding materials: flasks, potions, food, repair bots, etc.

Step One: Find out what time the raids are. Go to www.wowjutsu.com and find the ranking for the top raiding guilds for your server. Either ask a member or visit their guild websites to find out what their raid schedule is. Calculate the overlap of the top 10 raiding guilds’ schedules. Let’s assume that it’s 8PM for your time zone.

Step Two: List typical raid consumables 30-45 minutes prior to that raid time. Double-check to see if I’m not wrong, but in that window (and immediately after that raid time) there is a shortage of the important raid consumables. So either gather them up at other times, or even clear them out right then and there and relist them at a premium! You’d be amazed what people will pay for the last flask or the last bit of oil, etc.

Note: only list them for the shortest window possible to save on your listing fees. The idea is that these products will move quickly. Also, don’t flood the market…only list a few of each item.

Test it out and see if these items not only sell, but sell well above the price they normally go for!
