Thank you, little Miss Undercutter (WoW)

Undercut me once, okay, happens.
Undercut me repeatedly, I'll peer your way, but it happens.
Undercut me repeatedly across multiple items, and it's war.

There's a small time seller who dabbles in my markets. Harmless to let her sell a few of my items? No, not really. Big sellers aren't born that way, everyone starts out small. "Hey, this stuff sells, I make money! I should sell more!" New sellers need to be stomped soundly out.

So this one person who keeps undercutting me. I looked her up on one of the AH websites, found everything else she's selling, and I'm in the process of making those items. See, my army of level 85s has a purpose.

While looking that up, something at the top of the page caught my eye. One of the "hot" items listed. A Tabard of the Lightbringer. 90K. Hmm.

While I have no real use for it, I grabbed it. I could put it on my AH mule. I might just hold onto it. If we get more slots per server and I can finally have a paladin, it might be better on that. Of course, they'll only get more common as time goes on, too.

I know it's silly to buy an expensive thing that I don't really, really want, but I try to let myself do that if the mood strikes me. I have the money. What's the use of just sitting on it? I might as well spend it if there's something rare for sale.

Oh, and the Crimson Deathcharger that was sold for 42K (sob!) and someone is now trying to flip for 150K? Welcome to the world of my rooster, baby. I'm sorry you've had to relist it so many times. Hopefully one day someone like me will come along and buy it for that price. *hugs Thistle's horse so much* I swear, that horse makes me so happy. :D

Sometimes I really, really love playing the AH.

Growth pots aren't as good as they used to be in terms of price. Blizzard increased the drop rate on the formula, so pretty much every alchemist has it now and you can buy the formula for a few silver as opposed to the 200g+ it used to run.

Still, now and then, it still makes it worth a trip out to get earthroot and deviate fish.

I used to get the fish from fishing dailies, I guess when I had no alts left doing it was the final nail for me. I know they're easy to catch, but... lazy.
