134K in the bank and a quick flip

The sales continue apace. I found a few good deals over the past day or two and have turned those to my favor. Someone was selling uncut Cardinal Rubies and Ametrines for 100g apiece right before I was about to log off last night; I bought those and flipped 'em fierce. I picked up a new epic cut thanks to the JC dailies -- Purified Dreadstone -- and now can cut all the epic gems but Eye of Zul. The fact that they almost always sell makes me not worry about diversifying the cuts I have. Happily enough, Greater Cosmic Essences and Titanium Bars were going for 23g and 25g respectively this morning; I've been selling them for 16g and 17g apiece so the profit margin is skyrocketing. My daily transmutes and Titansteel smelting are keeping me fat and happy.

But the best thing of all happened today just as I was about to leave for work: someone was offering up the Agility version of the Greatness Card for 3000g bids in Trade. I jumped on it and offered 2700g, but the seller wound up putting me in a bidding war with another Darkmoon Card flipper (I know he is one because I sold him one for 4000g this week and saw him immediately list it on the AH for 4800g. Of course, I put one of my own up for a 5g undercut not a minute after he listed his.) In the end I wound up paying 3200g for the thing. Not 15 seconds later, I kid you not, someone in Trade is offering 4200g for the EXACT version of the Greatness card I'd just bought. I became immediately suspicious that I was somehow being set up for some type of scam (I don't know how that's possible, but hey, seemed too good to be true.) I immediately invited the person and we met up at the Deeprun Tram and made the exchange. In less than 5 minutes I had made 1000g. No effort. Not even as much effort as collecting something from a mailbox and listing it on the AH.

I doubt I'll have that opportunity again very soon but holy cow. That was one thousand of the eighty thousand I have to make before I hit the gold cap. Incredible!
