The global averages give you a nice baseline of what something is potentially worth relativeВ to other items transmog items.В For example if Chestpiece A is worth 600g globally, and Chestpiece B is worth 1200g globally, I know that in general, people value Chestpiece B to be worth twice as much as Chestpiece A. I do like to go off of the entire WoW population when pricing. These are not perfect price sources for all servers, which I expressed in my transmog video, but people tend to gloss over that. Now if you're reading this and have tried the xmog market you've probably tested out my price sources which roughly are: Do not worry about items as individuals, but your stock as a whole, and have something else going while you're acquiring armor, or you will lose interest. Just know that the key to transmog is amassing a large, diverse stock of items, and constantly reposting. Yes, you'll always see those success stories where the first thing someone buys is worth 10k, they spent 5g on it, and sold it overnight. When you decide it's time to invest in transmog, you need to understand unequivocally that you will probably be down gold for quite some time before making it back. You want a nice portfolio of long term and short term strategies, to really optimize your gold's potential future value. It's just silly to put all your eggs in one long term basket. You do not want to tie up all your capital in transmog the same way you do not want to tie up all of your capital in mounts.

With 2k start up capital, and patience you can turn it into hundreds of thousands, but that key ingredient is patience and time. That's not to say you cannot make gold off xmog alone.

Only when you have a sizable quantity of gold to invest, and are running out of options, should transmog be your go to market. At first you want to invest your gold in fairly liquid assets so you can reinvest, and get that delicious quickly compounding interest. Transmog to me is not a market you get in immediately. Now if you are trying to sell to sellers, then by all means mark it down low and lose lots of gold, but transmog is the Looooong Game if you're playing it right, and is not a quick turnover market.

Sure, you can get a piece that's worth 11k, but your buyer needs time to find it. I also see people claiming they're going to farm a bunch of xmog and turn it around for a WoW Token before their sub expires in 3 days. Even in the hundreds, transmog can be slow. One of the most common questions I see from transmog selling beginners is 'I've got X items, and I'm not getting many sales, what am I doing wrong?' The answer of course is nothing, granted X is insignificant, say less than a few hundred. This is a post I've wanted to do for a while, so buckle in kiddies, we're going for a ride.
