As a suggestion I think the part about demand being higher on the weekend is specious.

As a long time AH trader, I think I should point out that while it may be true more people play on the weekend, they don't raid on the weekends and they don't buy high priced items either. It is really interesting, the dynamic of the game is like a depressing mirror image of life. Raiders (people who have the most money because they have the most invested in the game) very often use the weekends to farm and raid during the week. This lends itself to high supply, low demand on the weekends, especially for enchanting and gemming materials. Human beings what they are, when they get a new epic they go directly to the AH to get what they need to make it shiney, and they do that during the week while using the weekend to farm and pay it off.

With the advent of dailies people who feel that farming is too laborious are actually making it more profitable by grinding dailies and paying inflated prices for leveling mats because they have more gold. The same inability the had to curb their spending before has single handedly made farming low level matts almost as profitable as doing dailies themselves.

To summerize, farm on the weekend, sell on the weekday. Spaaki (Talk) (Signature added by Bobalobabingbong (talk) 15:46, 30 March 2009 (UTC))

I personally found that the weekends are much more profitable in the AH. If I can't sell it during the week, it's almost always sold on a Friday night, or Saturday. Also, use four tides to sign your post, so we know who you are. Also, spell check would not be a bad idea. Bobalobabingbong (talk) 15:45, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
