Day 20

10 more days left!

Total acquired: 32,128.9658 gold

What was done today:

  • The usual two scans today
  • Since it was my birthday, just scanned and relaxed
  • I did not cancel any auctions as I said I wasn't going to do anymore now. I did post some auction a little bit lower than the competition, but I was not posting items at a lost (in the blue or green as stated by auctioneer) - FYI: I use an add-on that shows the average price of item SOLD, not posted. So, I have auctioneer use this pipeline add-on instead of its own data. I can make better decision on if I choose to lower my price or not. But, if people are posting their prices in the blue or green, I'm still posting mine at market price. Do not buy into the hype of selling your items at the lowest price in order to get a sell.
  • Like I stated previously, it was my birthday so I just logged in to scan, found some quick deals with the resale search, re-post any expired items and posted the new items purchased. This is likely to be my setup for the rest of this run since the Gold Speed Run website is still not showing week 3 and 4 information and I do not know what else to do other than what I have been doing. It is disappointing when a product does not deliver what it promises. That is life; accept it and move on. I am happy that I did not spend money on the gold speed run membership, I would have been very upset like some people who are currently in the gold speed run. Tomorrow is day 30 for them, so two weeks without information; I think they should be refunded with at least half of their money back. I am not saying the program itself is bad, quite the opposite, however many of these people paid for a 30 day service (provided with information every single day), they weren't. They have other tools also, but they paid for a whole service that was not provided for them. It is like I paid for a whole pie and I received 75% of it and was told to deal with it...Anyway, I'm moving on.
  • Overall so far, I am pleased with how things gone. I like how I made a good amount of gold without a team of alts with all of the professions. However, I would've been happier without the use of professions at all. Maybe I should do this again on another server without the use of a death knight, a leveling character, and not pick up any professions (of course, the initial setup of getting gathering professions to provide seed money, then after that not using it anymore). I put in time, however disappointed with the time I put in. Less would have been better.
  • I'm thinking about what I want to do with the left over gold I will have left after this thing is over. It is likely I will probably leave it to let my kids have to play with. I doubt that I want to stay on this server. It is pretty dead and the lack of active guilds are great. I would play my shaman after this is over, but I put in requests to join guilds and nothing received from them. Plus, I watch trade channel for any guild recruitment because I really want to grow with a guild and do dungeons and eventually raid. Nothing. I was also thinking about maybe leveling my shaman or another character to level 71 (level where you can transfer your character with more than 10K gold which I will probably have by the end of this thing). And, then deleting my bankers say adios to this server forever. This is a good option because I don't like leaving behind gold on other servers...
Other than all of this, I'm going to head to bed and watch some tv. While I got a few more hours left of my birthday, I want it to end peacefully. Good night all.
