this "scam" is going on for 20 years XD
@@BulkersRuleZ yeah ive found out, but its crazy now nothing like before
well i have not noitced it as much as this expansion / season so far, every few posts you see several items posted at stupidly low prices to try and catch those who just fast post or mass post items out.
The scam is called World of Warcraft.
or just use auctionator so you can see them properly and works similar for when your buying it will tell you before you buy something thats massively overpriced
I scan to look for the low prices to buy them out with auctionator.
That not a scam, thats just price fixing.
@@Xadoras they are still "scamming" they are making you sell them for less than what they acctually are worth
its a trap / scamm / bait all the same thing, I find it funny how many people are saying "it is not a scam" yet they call it a trap or bait when that is exactly what a scam is, trying to catch people out and they make from it, clear scummy tactics.
of course it's a scam, you're self-benefiting at the price of others losing, wtf. "hurrrrrrrrr durrrrrrr it's just price listing" oh my god. i can't...
@@nighthowler2277 congrats, you figured out what undercutting is. whats next? people are selling in stacks?
capitalism and monopoly are just price fixing!!!!1111
If you gonna fall for this you are just to lazy to quickly check the price.
If that is too much to ask then sorry you earned it to get scammed.
Also i don't know if this is a scam
I mean the AH does not forces you to sell it at the lowest price and you see how many people sell at this cheapest price.
The only thing you have to do is to check that you dont choose the same price that Ahsell4-Blackrock lists his goods. Is that to much to ask from players?
You sound like someone who does the lowball posting thing so you can get mats cheaply. Nobody with an honest demeanor is going to say something like _"you earned it to get scammed."_ unless they're rationalizing their own behavior (so, guilty dog barks first), or they're pathologically devoid of empathy, in which case they're likely psychopaths, sociopaths, or sadists. So tell us... which is it?
I don't do this, I'm just a realistic person that thinks that it is quite marking that people consider this as a scam if indeed the easiest solution to it is simply think before you do something.
Did your parents don't teach you to consider your actions first before you do something?
@@erlking5868 Your questions are the equivalent of victim-blaming. The problem isn't the people who fail to recognize a potential scam. The problem is the mindset that engages in such ruses. You're not denouncing the scamming behavior; you're denouncing those who fall into the scammer's trap. That's a terribly unethical framework. Denounce the perpetrators, not the victims of perpetrators.

If you want to see it that way, fine. I think you can leave a system to itself to a certain extent without putting the user in chains. As soon as you go beyond that, you restrict the system to such an extent that it loses its raison d'être. And I'd rather keep the current system where I can have a say in the market myself. If people take advantage of this, it's not my fault, but I can make sure that I don't actively support such participants by checking the price at which I offer goods. If it's too much for you to quickly look at the price, then in my opinion, it's your own fault. In real life, you wouldn't buy a car without first clarifying whether the price is justified, especially when you can see all the prices the competitors offer are shown on a board next to the sellers price.
Yeah, I noticed that as well. Not sure its a scam, more a noob/careless trap. All it takes, just watch what you are doing ;)
I have noticed this over the past few days and so I am now taking a seconds to check the next selling price more often as I find that they post a few items like half the price so that people who just click sell it get's posted either at the lowest or lower than the lowest price, I would say to anyone who is selling crafting mat's via auction house to take a second to check before you pst as you can be losing half or more of the gold you could be making, Great video and I am glad that someone else has noticed this and is speaking up on it, If people do not check the price beofre they sell it will also drive the prices down faster.
the auctionator addon helps with this. it will warn you that the price looks a bit low.
As other's have mentioned. It's not a scam it's just an attempt to influence the market price. In fact, it can work to your advantage. I was trying to sell some bismuth and noticed someone doing this at a smaller scale. Ppl (or bots) were falling for it and placing their bismuth at 50g lower than the avg. Market price. I couldn't buy it quick enough at the lower price. I ended up buying 200k's worth of bismuth that I later sold for 250k.
Yup!
Ya sorry bro this is not a scam this why most people don't understand the AH=Competition
@@Wilyb153 its not competetion when prices drop from 40 to 20 gold if it was competition it would go down by numbers following👍
You need addon "Auctionator"
That's actually what makes you vulnerable to this "scam", blindly using an addon that automatically undercuts.
Definitely been happening for a long time. I caught on during Dragonflight release and made quite a bit just buying the low priced stuff when I saw it. Sometimes people will also just buy all of a certain item to reset the prices all together though its harder now with the linked AH.
Just checked the AH. They are doing exactly what you are saying. Thanks.
@@Ramjosaladbar5835 yeah and i first realised myself after selling alot at a low price, cause i farmed alot more and i got less that before 👍👍 so hope people see the video so you guys dont do same mistake 💪
It is a problem for al the TSM scroll wheel post all on AH guys. now they have to spend time when they undercut everyone else and not just "scroll" cancel and scroll re-cut everyone else.
snipng bot's they have been around decades.
Anyone who posts lower than everyone else has mental damage :)
Why? This is how a market works since we started trading goods to each other. If you want to sell something faster then the rest sell it at a lower price. 😅
not really a scam. but you can also make decent gold if you're quick enough to buy it out before they do
It is a scam but whatsoever they are trying make other people list their items for lower prices that intended, but yes you can but its hard beating a bot to the finish line👍😁
i fucked myself over . i started off with 240k and been at the AH for like 5 hours . i was on and off and i only made 250k and 280k and back down to 220k like what the fuck .
read the comments and see how many people call this "not a scam" and call it bait or other names for exactly what it is, trying to catch people out and make them post at really low prices so people can get it way cheaper.
This is NOT a scam. It's bait, and it's primary target is not the idiot player that can't take an extra half second to look at their listing before they post. It's bait for bots, who routinely dump impossible amounts of raw materials onto the market so they can exchange in illegal RMT. This bait actually is a service to the overall WoW economy because the bots won't take the time to price their ill-gotten materials properly and at least the bait will frequently trick bots into selling their goods well below market. It's in everybody's best interest for RMT traders to get as little gold as possible, and if an enterprising Goblin can get that gold instead, even better.
it is a scam, they are posted at a far less price so fast posters who do not check will auto get that lower price and then people who posted the low price are sat mass buying all the low price items to re sell at double or more later, clearly scammer's trying to catch people out, not everyone wants to spend time checking how much every item is before they post it each day,
its still a scam, there are bots on the other side to instantly buy low valued goods, it doesnt matter if its "supposed" to target farming bots, its not hard to set up a proper price listing if you already engage in botting. There are still many regular players that might get hit by it because to many people rely on addons to list things for them and are not properly set up to protect against that.
W for you to make the video, thank you
I put all my stuff up for half price so it sells fast. Why do you care what people are doing with their gold? I been playing this game for 20 years and never run out of gold. What I need to buy on the AH gets covered by just playing the game.
why would you. people are buying mats anyways. you're just ruining prices for everyone.
If you have TSM it can help protect against this a bit as well, but it's a good tip to check prices for people new to the AH that haven't optimized how to buy/sell as well as degenerate goblins.
I use tsm aswell but use WoW UI but its TSM that makes listing for lowest price 👍👍
I noticed this recently as well and I always check the pricing before listing
@@Spanakopitaa a very good thing to do 👍👍💪
Noticed this starting at week 2, good thing im stingy af and have held onto most of my mats. Theirs ah cartels 😂
@@mewmewmineable so true 🤣🤣 you better watch out they are comming for your mats 🤣🤣
They're not scamming, I do it too, it's to get rid of profession materials that we don't use, and don't want to get sent back in the mail because someone undersold us. Sure, it has the added bonus of temporarily lowering prices, but it doesn't really stick.
@@Selfg12 nope i get some people post for cheap but on the new materials there is no need to go that far down it gets sold almost immediatly anyways so it has to be because someone wants others to make a mistake for him to profit
@@nighthowler2277 wrote, _"it has to be because someone wants others to make a mistake"_
I mean... it could be that, but it also could be that not everyone looks to the auction house as a business venture. If I put stuff on there, which is rare, I usually sell it for much less than the lowest price, too. It's just to make it sell, and to get something more than a vendor would give me. I don't care to 'ruin' anything for anyone. In fact, I would suggest that it's possible that the people who are strongly concerned about 'the economy' in wow... might be missing the point of the game. It's not a financial trading simulation game by design :)
the next time you make a video i hope you know the difference between a scam and under cutting. *facepalm*
undercutting, baiting, price running its all the same thing, it is a scammy way to get people to "accidently" post at way lower prices, clear scam tactics,
Someone who would undercut something would not listed 50% cheaper, especially not with a amount of 1. NOt even the autolisting by Blizzard would undercut it by that much, which means its typed in by hand. Maybe next time you should start thinking before typing, it is a good advice in general.
It’s not scam ppl are just trying to bring the prices down because right now everything is too expensive
@@armanec342 as i wrote to the other guy, the market prices goes down with demand, right now they are being forced down and that does not change anything rather than some people just selling their items for way cheaper than supposed
well if it was just people trying to drive prices down there would be many people posting many items not just 1 person posting a few itmes in the higher value items. if you want to drive prices down this is 100% not the way to do it.
@@smashtactix exactly 💪👍
@@smashtactix ofc there are scammers out there as well but I’ve seen ppl putting high quantities for lower prices and that’s how it’s done atm the prices are ridiculous
so, u telling me u using aunction house and farming gold but not using addon for it? Hm?
@@TheMrApotamkin im using addon and the problem is that its listing at the lowest price available and if the bots/scammers list 1 time for 20 gold it means that my farmed mats will also be sold at 20 gold each👍
@@nighthowler2277 I don't know about other AddOns, but Auctionator will often warn you if the listed price is unusually low, or if you'll make more profit by vendoring the item that you're trying to list. In addition to what you've mentioned in the video, I'd also recommend looking at the volume of an item before listing it, if there's a listing for 28g with a volume of 500, always skip that and look for the next highest price with a large(r) volume, for example 30g with a volume of 15000. Items like these move at a ridiculous pace.
@@nighthowler2277 That's not the case at all.Get into using TSM like person is suggesting and you will understand what is he meaning.
I make a bit of gold doing this, I sell for 1 gold and then buy fast af from people that dont check. great way to make some early gold in the expansion
@@wowest. not cool bro....
@@nighthowler2277 it's gambling, keep up the baiting bro, goblins snipe the bots and your bait.
what an insane useless video lmao
@@MultiDarkII thanks my guy, sorry im making people notice 👍
what an insane and useless comment on this video. LOL. SMFH
