The Trade Broker: The goal with any MMO auction house is to be sure that you are making sales that profit you, even if just a little. You need to keep a couple of things in mind though. First, the game takes a cut of each sale, so you cannot have tight profit margins. You need to have a decent profit on each sale or you will get overwrought with the differences in price. Second, you need to be sure that you have a good buying and selling strategy. There are always good deals at the TB. People don't realize that they are selling something of value and will sell it for a pittance. You need to be able to find those items and scoop them up so you can flip them around for a huge profit later. Finally, you need to be willing to spend some Kinah to make Kinah. The best way to make Kinah on the TB is to buy and sell through it. Sure, you can sell your items directly through the TB, but you are going to make more Kinah if you forget about grinding and just focus on buying and selling.

To start with, make sure that you choose a good auction time. A good one will always be at least 1 real world day of time. Additionally, make sure to sell on good days. You don't want to list on the Trade Broker on a Sunday morning because, as we discussed, it is a very saturated time with minimal demand. Instead, find a high demand time. For crafting goods, that would be Friday and Saturday evenings. For consumables, it is pretty much any evening. Measure the Trade Broker: If you are interested in maintaining an eye on the values of the items in the Trade Broker, you need to know what will most commonly affect values on the servers. To start with, supply and demand are huge factors. Measuring them can be hard, but in general, you'll find that higher demand comes around patch times, during certain times of the week or when something is added to the game.
