At your level, the gold AH is decent.

The issue with the RMAH is mostly one of gold farmers trying to inflate the cost of "black market inventories"...And they're currently succeeding, greatly...Unfortunately.

I'd scope out the gold AH...And definitely stick to it.

Typically, I farm for 2-3 hours a night, I start specifically at the K Barricade in Act 1.

Each run takes 45mins and I make about 200k + rares...Sometimes more/less, for example last night I made 400k in 1 run, 100k, in another and 200k in the last.

I sell everything I get for @ 20k unless it's a really good item and even then, I under-price it just to move it.

My suggestion would be to wait for 1.03 to really start playing the AH considering how much will change.

That's not to say don't scope it out and if you see something really nice for dirt cheap, don't pick it up...By all means, grab it but, I'd really wait to play the AH/RMAH game until the changes take effect.

Legendaries aren't getting buffed until post 1.03.

I'm not saying don't sell stuff for 1$, by all means if that floats your boat, please do...But, what I am saying is that right now, the market is very unstable...So, buying/selling is very off what it was originally intended to be...Which is caused by the inferno bottleneck.

Once that bottleneck is clear...Your 1.25$ item might only be worth 50c...In that situation, sell sell sell, while you can but, for MOST of the items on the AH, especially the good ones...They're not 1.25$.

So for someone looking to gear up, if you don't mind spending like 5/10$, sure...I'm just saying it won't be the same once 1.03 comes out and considering how close we are, he might be better off waiting.

I can't wait to see the new Legendaries, and really hoping they will also buff the existing ones, but that's going to be a while before we get the next patch after 1.03

BTW, kevindd992002 was only asking to sell his items to RMAH, not buying from it

so, the fastest way is to sell it for low, unless he knows how to price it for which market he wants to target

as for the minimum, the lowest listing in RMAH is 1.25, the system won't let you go lower than that

that's probably blizzard enforcing their way to get their $1 per transaction, even if you wanted to give away the items for dirty cheap, as i do

i simply have not enough storage left, and i want to roll things out quick

with the 10 items limit, it's extremely annoying

my 3 tabs of inventory are full

so most times i have to end up recycling the cheesier stated items instead, just to make room

i list on both GAH and RMAH

Yeah I'm aiming to sell only either using AH or RMAH So in that case, I won't be having any problems selling my stuff in both houses, right?

I didn't know that Blizzard is having a cut from all the proceeds we have.

You are not putting enough emphasis on your resists. Every piece of gear you have until you start really perfecting it should be + a specific resist and + resist all on a monk since they stack and are spread using the passive. I'm sitting on ~850 with 8.5k unbuffed dps and did just fine in act 1 inferno with 20k hp. Also make sure to use a spirit regen heavy build and pop mantra of healing (resist rune) constantly for the 1k dmg shield. Act 1 TBH was CAKE on my monk. Next step for me is getting a helm of command (8%) as well as the ring with 11% block which with my current shield of 26% would put me at....

45% block
over 77% resist
~50% armor
~50% dodge

Then I just need to get my hp up from 30k and group with a few dps guys until I can afford my own wep above 650 dps (current). Once I get a good wep I'll switch from vit to dex as needed.

So far I have not spent over 100k on a single piece of gear. Everyone QQing about act 1 on a monk just needs to rethink what they are doing, because they are doing it wrong haha. P.S. If you are spending 2-3m on a BELT with those stats, your REALLY REALLY doing it wrong.

Currently your problem is your inability to kite adds and slow them reliably. Denigration takes far too much AP to slow the adds steadily, now that they have more hp.

Try something like this : http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#bcXRTS!YXU!bYabZZ

Use the orbs to slow, and keep the venom hydra out to do dmg, along with your piercing orbs.

your wiz looks awesome! what shield is that? i have a level 55 wiz and i am only equipping swords just because it looks good on a wiz.

to those selling "decent" stuff for gold in AH, it is better NOT hoping to sell your item at a high price. sell low, farm a lot and sell a lot. there's a lot of competition out there with better stats so my only hope of selling something is if i sell it lower than everyone else. of course there are still tons that i am unable to sell, so they go to merchants or get salvaged.

one thing that i noticed is that i have been joining public games more often now to farm act 2 or 3. i changed my skills to toughen up and for more crowd control but we still get wiped out every now and then. good thing is, no one is complaining for now. but im kinda concerned that once the cost of repair goes up, people would start to become picky of who to be with in public games.

I took a look at the RMAH, and even if you want to use it, it seems a better idea to go with the gold AH and buy gold from a farmer lol. Probably save quite a bit of $ that way, given how terrible most things on the RMAH were priced.

yup it's 15% cut on Gold AH
and $1 on RMAH

so if you want to earn $1 for the item you sell, you will actually have to list it for $2

that's why when i said i, just list my items for $1.25, i'm just giving it away to keep my inventory running, as i'm constantly out of space

i rather only earn $0.25 than spend too many days with my inventory full, and not be able to do anything else

Yeah, I'm in the same boat, actually.

We could literally buy gold at 4.95$ (As of this morning) then, buy the item off of AH and we'd save about 150$.

That's why I keep saying it's really not worth using the RMAH right now because gold farmers are trying to keep the price of gold at a premium.

It's working to an extent but, most users caught on enough to buy/sell at about the 1-2$ mark.

Even then, their auctions are getting picked up by the farmers who are just re-listing them at 50$...So, it's kind of win/lose...

1.03 is going to change everything and make 62/63 ilevel items available for practically everyone...The best idea yet to come from Blizzard Ent. by a mile.

I was actually reading the OF (Official Forums) this morning and couldn't stop laughing because of how many farmers that are just complaining thread after thread after thread...LOL...Greedy, much?
