At long last! (WoW)
Dec. 26th, 2011 07:02 pmOne. Million. Gold!

This has been my goal for the longest time, and I finally made it!
Christmas wasn't good just for retailers, the on-game AH was insane. All the pets I brought from Alliance? They sold out in record time, I have just a small handful left. I sold dozens of Alliance-only spiffy stylish black shirts. Lots of interesting things flew off the proverbial shelves.
The big-ticket items I brought from Alliance did just as well, mostly. Since the amount of gold I could faction change with was so limited, I had to buy things to resell here.
Reins of Poseidus, bought on Alliance for 68,500, sold for 82,000
Vial of the Sands (2), bought for 41K and 46K, each sold for 47.5K
Disgusting Ooze pet, bought for 7K, sold for 12.5K
Hyacinth Macaw parrot pet, bought for 17K, not sold yet.
I've always wanted that parrot pet, I'm tempted to keep it, but I'm not 17K worth of tempted.
Having money lets you do fun things! There's a fellow who farms for me, I gave him a nice holiday bonus. Plus I got to buy things for my friends. :) What was in Santa's bag this year? -- Kel and Trae should NOT click that link! I haven't caught up with you two to give you your gifts yet!
So the big question is: What now? I don't know. For most gold makers the answer would be "Two million!", and I suppose that's my eventual goal as well. No rush though, I'm not going to do anything different than I do now. I'd like to say I'm going to retire, because I'm 100% aware that this is more money than anyone needs in the game, but to me making money is fun.
Happy gold-making, everyone!
