So, once again (and most probably for the last time), I'm transferring. The target is Arathor-EU, my old server. I made no arrangement with any guilds, I simply went there because of all my other chars and my GF's chars are there.
This time collection of goods to get below 20K was easier. Mostly frost lotuses, flasks, titanium ores/bars, arctic furs, some epics and crusader orbs (the 3 closed bags hold personal items with no business value):
What really surprised me was the extreme stability the Stormscale market shown despite my huge stockpiling. The bought goods simply reappeared in the AH in a couple of hours at the same price. It seems some people have stockpiles of these goods that were able to handle my mass-buying. I'm honestly surprised because of it, I expected serious price increases because of such demand spike.
My guess is that every major trade goods materials are covered by mass resellers, who buy underpriced items, have contracts with farmers for CoD buying and they sell all their stockpiles at a stable price for low but still nice profit. They are capable of sucking up supply spikes (some ninja dumps a guild bank) and demand spikes too.
Transfer complete, here I am again.

I hope you sell those orbs right away. Price is dropping by the second.
So based on this, what would you estimate to be the value of the economy? Do you think there is a billion gold worth of items and currency out there, either on the AH, or ready to be sold?
I'll obviously will sell them fast.
The size of the economy will be a post Friday
Orbs went from 4.5Kg to 600g in my server in 2 days.
Best of luck in your move. I can't wait to see your new project.
Why are orb prices falling? Are vendors exchanging it for emblems of triumph already? 4500g to 600g is pretty insane in 2 days.
By the way, a bit off-topic, but I remember that you wrote that there would be video footage of that blues Ulduar 10 run with your previous guild. Did I miss that, or is that not going to happen?

3 bags with no business value? Okay, hold it right there! Who are you and what have you done with Gevlon?!
Roger does have a good point. Now I'm wondering what's in the bags.
Pretty easy, gears not used? Trinkets and so on. Pretty sure they cant be sold right?
If I had to guess it would be situational gear (frost resist gear) and side grades.
Welcome back to Arathor!
But I have to say that I'm a bit sad as I know that my (Ewyn) part of the glyph market now will be gone for ever.
I can only hope that you will not run your glyph buisness every week.
The 20K gold limit makes little sense.
Every time someone rich transfers the supply of a few expensive items can crash for a period of time. This can hardly be what Blizzard wants.
It's probably his T1 set as it took so long to collect he just cannot get himself to throw it away ;)
Wb on Arathor :)
Nice timing, as there was a bit of a glyph market shake-out the past few weeks (after your guide article), and some of the persistent campers have been missing now for a few days as a result; Net result: the glyph market seems recovering and less dominated by campers.
Was the cost of your contract too cumbersome?
@annon
if you read you wouldnt have to ask the question he posted already why the contract was of no more value. and it had nothing to dfo with cost as evidenced by the transfered wealth.
so I didnt notice any titansteel bars or stacks of gems?
Roses, picnic baskets and wine for dates in nagrand with his GF!
You certainly have never struck me as a sentimental guy, but I hope you enjoy returning to your old home.
what's in the bags?
The blue gear used for the "blue run" to Ulduar for sure. Maybe the Gear that he replace while in the guild.
Old Gear? Maybe some T1, T2 gear that he collected while doing some achievement of some sort.
Side Note: I don't know why orbs are drooping so fast in value... I mean 35 Emblems of Triumph is not that easy to collect. Plus you need 8 for the good stuff.
Hey Gevlon,
How long did it take you to liquidate your glyph inventory before transferring? How did you approach it?
Seriously Gevlon - you don't wear 100% epic gems? I know how you feel about the marginal performance value of these things (and I agree). But come on what is the point of being gold capped if you don't treat your toon to the fanciest stuff.
the imaginative wealth makes him hard considering he is poor IRL. to each his own...
