There’s a new site called WarcraftTrade.com that has been created to match buyers and sellers in WoW.

The general concept is to provide one-stop for your server where you can post ads for your wares, search for buyers, search for sellers, etc. For example, if you’re an Alchemist, you might advertise that you’re looking for certain herbs on a consistent basis, and are willing to pay C.O.D. for them. That keeps you supplied, keeps your cost fixed, and avoids the Auction House and its fees.

It’s an interesting concept that I’ve heard discussed from several sources as being needed. Something beyond the Trade channel in-game.

It’s basically setup like a forum…you register, then you make posts in your Server (Realm) forum. And you can search easily, just like a normal forum.

It is in the early stages of release, so there’s not a lot of users yet. Hopefully readers here will go register there and increasing the user base…the more that use it, the more useful it becomes, but somebody has to be the first signups. Gold-making experts like you make the most sense!

Couple of other thoughts: It’s free. It’s got a built in feedback tool (called Karma), which acts like eBay feedback, which can help avoid scams and build reputation. But one of the things that I like is that by doing this you can advertise across factions…let someone on the Alliance side know what epic drop your Horde toon has, and double your potential customer base!
