Hello and welcome to the much needed guide to listing items in the auction house! I'm here today to help you not make mistakes when listing the items you happen to find around while grinding in the coli, spending your gathering turns, and opening chests.
This guide covers treasure to treasure sales only. This will not cover turning gems into treasure or vice versa.
I'm going to give you two important rules that you need to always follow:
This will prevent bad things from happening, like selling an item for way less than it is worth.
So, the first thing we will be covering is the Sell Value feature.
Items with a number value:
Items with no number value:
If you hover over the items, you'll see a difference between the two sets, namely that the first set has a treasure value next to Sell Value and the second set doesn't. There are numbers on the first set because they are purchasable from the Marketplace. The number listed is 10% of the treasure you pay to buy them from the Market.
The second set are specialty items, only obtainable through drops, elemental holidarys, or given out by the staff.
These are only examples of these types of items. There are many more of both kinds, and the majority of the items that you can purchase from the Marketplace can be found from either chests or drops in the Coliseum.
Rule 1 comes into play now. You should never ever sell an item with a numerical vale next to the sell value for less than that number. Ever. It isn't worth it. Either hang onto it until the supply can no longer meet the demand or sell it directly from your inventory.
And now for Rule 2. Don't just toss an item up for a number about what the tooltip shows. Search it first. There are quite a few items that the demand succeeds the supply of and is listed in the Auction House for a much higher price than what the tooltip shows.
Examples of this include:
Now to illustrate:
The auction house takes a cut of the treasure you get from selling the item. Make sure to follow rule one and list it for enough that you will still make more than whatever you would get auto selling after that cut is taken out.
It takes 1% of the total for a 1 day listing, 2% for a 3 day listing, and 3% for a week long listing.
That's it! Just two rules to follow for profiting on the Auction House. They're easy to follow and easier to remember.
If you have any questions or things you think it would be useful to add, ping @Gangrene.
