I used to sell those arrows and bullets in stacks of 1 for about 4-5g a piece. I was really just curious to see what kind of returns I could get. Surprisingly, I sold quite a few. I never flooded the market like that, but rather posted 3-5 at a time. They'd all sell within a few days, and along with the money in the mail, I'd also get plenty of hate mail. It was pretty hilarious; I wish I saved some of them.

The thread currently on the realm forums made me chuckle, and reminded me of that...

I've made at least 12-15k selling arrows in the last while. It's basically a 500-600g profit per stack, compared to the price of Eternal Shadow

See, this is what I don't understand. My initial foray into arrow selling was because I heard of people making insane amounts of money at it, but the volume you're selling must be *huge* to make that kind of profit.

1 eternal shadow = 5000 arrows
1000 arrows sell for ~5g
so 1 eternal shadow nets ~25g via 5 stacks on the AH

I don't see how you can make thousands of gold without flooding the market. Or is there such an enormous demand for these that the market will support hundreds of listings?

Hunters go through a crazy amount of arrows. I know I used to buy BAGS of arrows. Like stacks and stacks in a raid. A normal night in a raid zone could empty a quiver easy, so I think it's possible to sell that many, especially a server like cenarius (or comparable)

I don't wanna rain on anyone's parade, but all that effort and you only have < 3k gold!?! I'm guessing im wrong and that's you bank alt.

Well, I put up 100 stacks of arrows at once. That is 20 Eternal Shadows, which I buy for no more than 215 gold. 100 stacks X 6.5-7g a piece nets me a 500 gold profit each time. I do this once every 2-3 days, and have been for a month or so. It adds up.
