Within this guide, I’ll unveil my exclusive method that has allowed me to accumulate over 2,000 gold. I will divulge the secrets of successful flipping and provide guidance on preparing for Phase 2. 

About Flipping

Flipping is the ultimate gold-making method because it’s just a set-and-forget method. 

You have a list of items to flip, and you just scan the Auction House. Then, you just buy the underpriced items. It’s far less effort than killing mobs for hours on end or boosting people in Wailing Caverns. 

The other cool thing about flipping is that the more WoW SoD Gold you make from it, the more potential gold you have to flip from and profit from.

How To Flip?

The first step to flipping in Season of Discovery is to download TradeSkillMaster. 

Then you need to start adding items to your TSM base group. All you have to do is start scanning the Auction House for items like the Shadow Protection Potion. Then, you just search for them in the base group. 

I’ve found the Shadow Protection Potion, so I can put this into an item list like the “Bulk Items” group. Now, all I have to do is search for the Bulk Items list, and I can see all the items I added. That makes it extremely easy to flip items when they’re very cheap.

I’ve made all sorts of different TSM groups. For example, I did all the physical damage BiS items on a giant list.

Basically, every hour, I just scan each group, and then I buy the items when they’re a good deal. For example, this Ring of Precision is cheap, so I might as well buy it. 

Doing this method, I’ve been able to snipe insanely cheap items like a 100 gold Thunderbrow Ring and also a 70 gold Pugilist Bracer. Once I buy the items, I immediately post them using the “Auctioning Log” tab. 

One secret to making things more efficient is to set up Mailing Groups. So if I buy recipes, for example, I can mail them to the specific character that has recipes. That way, I don’t have to do any specific inventory management. I can just mass post items in just a matter of seconds.

One of the problems with TSM flipping is that you can get a really good deal, but the item just never ends up selling. One way to see if an item will sell or not is the website J.P. Worgen. Not only can it show us the item for sale rate, it can also show us the best items to flip on the neutral Auction House, too. 

The thing is that you don’t just have to flip high-value items. You can flip very large items as well and just have a small profit from each item sold. For example, selling Mana Potions on a raid reset day. Using J.P. Worgen, I was able to figure out trends to better understand the best times to sell specific items.

Speaking of bulk items to flip, I’ve attached my Darkmoon Fair flipping TSM group, too. Every time the fair goes live, these items always go up in price, especially for the lucky faction that has the fair. I’ve been able to make profit consistently every other week by just buying bulk items like the Torn Bear Pelts. The same can apply for my bulk items flipping group, where I flip items like the Scroll of Agility. These items typically ebb and flow with the fair since they’re sold at vendors there.

Now, you should understand the basics of flipping. It’s up to you to use the tools provided to find the best possible items to flip. With Phase 2 coming, the best method will always be to go through all the BiS lists on YouTube at Wowhead. Then, you could just find all the BiS items to flip.
