Selltacular's Sound - TSM Additions

You may or may not know that I'm leaving the Navy after 9 years of service and I'm moving back home pretty soon.  I do not know how long I'll be 'AFK' but I will be returning to the internet as soon as possible.  With that, I have something for all of you as sort of a temporary parting gift.


If you're using Trade Skill Master and don't have the TSM Additions Module installed, I highly suggest that you install it.  Otherwise, this 'gift' will be useless to you unless you use some other add-on (use TSM Additions instead) that plays a sound file when you make a sale.  As well as playing a sound when you make a sale, the module also provides a link to the item and a sale price when 'a buyer has been found for your auction', it also replaces that text in your chat window.  Additions also allows you to buy stacks from vendors in any amount you like.  Check it out if you haven't already!!


How to change the sound file in TSM Additions

If you open the TSM Additions folder, you'll see an mp3 file labeled 'register' .  This is the file that plays every time you make a sale.  If you want to change the sound file, you can remove the original mp3 and replace it with another of the same name.  I chose to create my own sound file to use for this.  Click this link to download the Selltacular Sound File.  Don't forget to rename it to 'register.mp3'  I hope you enjoy it!

UPDATE!!!!

I forgot to mention that you need to replace the file every time you update that module.  I always forget until I hear the 'default' register sound.

Selltacular's Glyph Groups 1.0

Awesome! I've gotten a few requests from the twitter crowd and I feel compelled to work on my glyph set up.  For now, especially with as much as I'll have on my plate for the next week, this will have to suffice.

I divide my groups by class in order to easily cater to the insta 90's of the future.  I will then create a substructure for each class based on the way that each glyph is learned:

5.4 World BoP
5.4 TI common
5.4 TI Rare
Scroll of Wisdom
Book of Glyph Mastery
Northrend Inscription Research
Minor Inscription Research
Vendor
Trainer First Pick
Trainer Rarely Picked

You can group these together however you'd like, but once you've gone through the tedious task of setting up your substructure, you can use a base operation for all of them just to get you started.  Then, if you need/want to you can set operations based on your own circumstances and apply them to each subgroup.  I honestly don't even recommend making the Trainer First Pick glyphs on servers with any scribe leveling activity.  I'll identify why I decided to split trainer glyphs in that manner in a future post.  For now, we're just gonna stick with the basic set up that I have at the moment.


!!!!!!!!DISCLAIMER!!!!!!!!
Please note that I do not have some of the newer glyphs (complete list here), so these will be missing from the item string for the time being.

Copy that entire item string and paste it into a bare glyph group.  Ensure you check 'Move Already Grouped Items' if your intention is to use this setup by class.  Alternatively, you can paste into notepad and remove the group setup and re organize as you wish.



Operations

This is currently the ONLY auctioning operation I use for my glyphs, as there is almost no need for other auctioning operations in my situation.  Your situation may vary and I'll try to suggest ways to set up your operations in the future.  I highly recommend taking a look at Wowuction's section on glyphs and see which glyphs are more profitable for you to make.  I also recommend studying the data so you can familiarize yourself with your server's glyph market before you decide to jump/dip your toes into the market.  Keep in mind your average price to make an ink if you are doing the milling yourself.

Auctioning: I don't do cancel scans unless I've been lazy on restocking and need to cancel in order to relist the more popular glyphs.  I have price ceilings (6g per ink of dreams, all inks are set to that cost due to herb availability on the AH) for my materials and a minimum profit 27g per glyph built in to my pricing scheme.  This is why I choose manual pricing over market based pricing in most of my crafted groups.  This is what my posting setup looks like:



 I'm only posting 1 at a time since I'm on a low pop server.  I tried 2 for a while, but rarely did I ever sell 2 of the same glyph in one posting cycle.  If you'd like to read more on inventory, Stede of Late Night With Stede did an excellent post on the Power of Inventory.  I highly recommend reading that post as well as the rest of his work.  In that post he uses glyph inventory as an example to demonstrate his point.  Oh while you're at it, listen to his shows, always good discussion about loads of gold making topics.

I hope this post can help some of you get started or adjust your glyph groups as you see fit.  In my opinion, the ability to analyze your server and understand the logistics of the glyph market there, will give you a good edge over many of your competitors.

I'd like provide so much more really soon. As the time to move across the country draws near, I'm extremely pressed for time.

Competing with Phat Lewts for Profitz' Twitch Give Away

In the spirit of supporting my favorite (clown) gold maker in the community, Phat Lewts and I have started a friendly competition that is taking place on Earthen Ring - US.  The goal is to make as much gold as possible within the set time frame, while strictly adhering to the rules that we have set in place.  Once the competition has ended, we will both be donating our hard earned gold to Profitz' Mega 2014 Twitch Stream Follower Give Away. <<<< Click this link for all of the awesome details of Profitz' give away....... DO IT!!!


Competition Rules
  1. Realm: Earthen Ring - US
  2. Two characters allowed.  One main character and one bank character.  Alliance (Selltacular) vs Horde (Phat Lewts)
  3. No DKs allowed, we're doing this the 'hard' way!
  4. BoAs are acceptable, no vendoring.
  5. No battle pet selling from current inventory.  Any means of transferring gold from other servers/factions is strictly prohibited.
  6. Using the daily Blingtron quest is allowed.
  7. Begin January 9, 2014
  8. End January 23, 2014  
We have yet to decide on what the winner gets and what the loser has to do and all that nonsense.  I'm not overly concerned with that, but I plan to ask Profitz to choose.  Perhaps his twitch followers can make suggestions before our competition ends. 

Phat Lewts and I will be trading sales and purchasing data using the Accounting Export feature in the Trade Skill Master App.   I plan to save my data to share with you once this competition has come to an end.
