New Player Tips: Time is Money, Friend

New Player Tips
January 4th by Lylirra

Welcome back to New Player Tips, our recurring feature in which we ask World of Warcraft veterans to share their thoughts and advice for new adventurers on a variety of in-game topics.

This week's topic is: the Auction House. After questing through a few zones or completing some dungeons, players may find that their bags are full of sellable goodies -- everything from crafting materials to bind-on-equip epics. While trading unwanted items for in-game coin may be the obvious way to go, it can still be tough to decide what to sell to a vendor and what to place on the auction block. Choosing bid and buyout prices, the length of an auction, and how much of an item to put up for sale at once can be tricky, too, especially for someone who's not yet familiar with the economy.

What advice would you give new players to help them get the most out of the Auction House? Do you have any trade secrets on how to effectively buy and sell items? Let your fellow adventurers know in the comments!
