How to farm AH for gold?

AH farming is by far the best and easiest as the trick is to buy low and sell high.   super rare items I list at ridiculously high prices and eventually it will sell.   Why because I can.   Nope its not about being fair my true main is toon is nicknamed "Business Elf" so it does what is most profitable.   It has always been this way where my level 1 toon funds the rest of my alts and my motto of no farming is still true.  I pride myself on never having to need to farm for anything.  Herbs, potions, etc I buy what I need. Ok i farm instances but thats for the BOP specialties that I cannot get anywhere else.   Even mounts are buyable if its a raid item.  With enough gold I can pay a raiding guild to run me through an instance to get the mount.  Hmm lets see I think I remember paying 23k gold for a certain armani warbear.

Haha anyways that stuff is history it have it but so what

Buy and sell items that are in demand .. see what other crafters use,  recipes, rare epic items are also good to do.  I personally specialize in recipes and only recipes.   Everything else I leave to other people.  You see the AH is too big to corner completely so I find a nitch.   Me I can take one look at a recipe and know its true vaule. 

Ex:  this weekend i made 6k  all from 1 hour of so of AH work by a level 1 toon.   This is casual play I'm not activly grinding to make a billion gold i list and relist a few items, log on to various servers to do the same and call it done for my weekly wow session.

AH farming is not for everyone as not all people enjoy looking at listings they rather be out in azeroth killing something or instancing or raiding or questing.  The end result is about the same as everythign would get you about 300g per hour if not more.   AH is easy only if you have the interest,  invested the initial time it took to learn how to work the AH otherwise if gold was your one and only goal do what you like.  Me I have fun with AH and don't care about the gold so much.  Not that I would sell something at a loss as that would not be in character with my RP  of a shrewd businesss elf
