Hi all,
On my hopefully helpful site about how to make money in the auction house (using legal methods), I'm going to be taking a brand new character from level 1 to see how fast I can achieve 1000g without any help from add-ons or any other characters. Then I'm going to post or podcast (haven't decided which) about progress and let you in on the exact way I do it. I will just the auction house.
The site is
http://www.mmoauctioneer.com/
I'm just asking you to leave a "vote" on the main page as to:
What race,
What class,
What type of server (e.g., PvE, RP-PvE, etc.)
I will have no other characters on the server, and absolutely no help. The purpose is to in part "prove" that the methods I talk about work for anyone, and that all it takes is a little time - no grinding, no farming, no professions, just intelligent searching.
PS. I just hit level 70 last night (!), took up tailoring at 69, and had all these ready to equip on level up: 3 Primal Mooncloth pieces (mats bought from AH), two Whitemend pieces bought, plus Scepter of Sue-Min, and all rare gems to socket, all with earnings (and no price gouging) from the auction house. You can check (hopefully updated) profile on armory. And I was able to buy a flying mount to boot. This is with no time farming mats or grinding for money.

Basically, anyone can do this kind of thing with a little time learning.

I have to wonder that since the game exposes the ability to make data-gathering addons and since the main auction addon has been explicitly endorsed by Blizzard, why would you go to the trouble to do this all yourself without any help unless it's just something you find fun?

What are the illegal ways to make money on the AH?

Let's not.
While I think the concept of gaining 1000 gold on any character on the path from 1 to 70 is really trivially easy and requires little special effort, I support you in your zeal - but I am moving this topic to Randomness; it is borderline advertising but I do realize there is (seemingly) no personal gain so I'm game with your self-challenge for now. :)

@Mivari, no offense but I think you're missing the point. It's not to get to 70 and have 1,000 gold by that point in the game, for you're right, that part can be easy with enough grinding/farming. It's to be at *any* level, and be able to make thousands with *little* time expended for continued returns. Reaching 70 requires a huge time investment and even then, while 1,000g may be easy for some to acquire, the time investment to attain that is fairly high compared with a level 20 making 1,000g with much less effort. For someone's 10 hours of grinding, I can make the same amount in 10 minutes, and often have.
As someone has already pointed out, these techniques can supplement any type of gameplay. Their purpose is to reduce the time needed to make a lot of money, nothing more. With time, anyone can make money, but wouldn't you want to make the same amount with less effort? I know I do, and that is why.
@pelf: Auctioneer is nice but I feel my techniques are better for what I do: fast money, little but intelligent searching, not a lot of little things that make little profits adding up, but a small amount of big-margin items that require less micromanaging.
Thanks to all who are participating!
