You asked (and asked and asked) for TradeSkillMaster-importable lists for 77-80 Cataclysm armor and we are happy to finally deliver.

Read on past the jump for the full lists as well as information on how they were created.

Today we are going to be doing a deep-dive analysis on the phenomenon on what we are calling "item level jumps" in World of Warcaft. We will be looking at what they are, why they make some items more valuable than others.

Understanding the underlying principles behind item level jumps will help you better understand why certain flipping items are desired by players and why we can charge more for them. Head past the jump for more.

As I discussed on Episode 067 of the podcast I've been thinking about optimizing my flipping item auctions in order to help cut down my posting fees.

Today I'm going to be analyzing my own sales based on the item suffixes (...of the Invoker, ...of the Eagle, etc.) in order to see if I can eliminate any suffixes that are particular bad sellers. Read on past the jump for our research and analysis.

I received the following email from Blizzard for a few of my expired accounts. Last time they sent out an email like this I am fairly sure I saw a decent spike in my 77-80 and 83-84 item sales. If you sell 77-80 Cataclysm, 83-84, 87-88 MoP and Crafted Dreadful PVP items be sure to have yours up on the auction house. (See also The Big List Of 77-79 & 83-84 Item Flipping Information)

Players who take Blizzard up on its offer and play the game free for 7 days will likely want to take as much advantage of the "reduced XP needed from level 85 to 90" as they can. That often means buying some items from the auction house.

Full email text after the jump.

If you've been following Power Word: Gold for any length of time you'll know that I make the majority of my gold these day's by flipping (buying low and re-selling high) 77-79 Cataclysm (77-80 before 5.3) and 83-84 Mists of Pandaria items.

In order to help flippers (both new and old) get up and running I've compiled links to all the helpful posts that we've posted about the flipping markets into one post. Head past the jump for all of the links.

In this livestream we go on a bit of a shopping spree, get ourselves acquainted with the Ironpaw dailies and much more.

Below is a reader question I received about potential slowing of their flipping markets after their return from a break in playing.

I decided to ask them permission to use their questions and my answers as a blog post because I think it not only addresses general uncertainties that many people have when doing flipping markets but also offers some good advice for those in the 77-79 and 83-84 flipping markets who may feel their markets are shifting of somehow slowing.

Read on past the jump to see their questions and my responses.

A livestream viewer pointed me to a rather interesting 5.3 PTR patch note that I think is significant to the 77-80 Cataclysm item arket.

In 5.3 the are planning on adding vendors that will sell level 80 gear in the Cataclysm starting zones. Read on past the jump for the details.
