Having a bankroll of a quarter million gold has allowed me to consistently buy enough items to have a full 10 slots of items up on the RMAH. Making money in Diablo 3 is not a get rich quick scheme, it's a marathon of making a little bit here and there and adapting to find new markets to squeeze out margins. I'm still making between $5 and $10 every day with about an hour of total work (half hour in the morning and half hour at night).
I'll continue to work with this bankroll for a little while and continue to pull some extra cash out of this game. I plan on slowly experimenting with the higher end markets, many of which are discussed in Markco's Gold Forum and his Gold Guide. Instead of investing in items with 1-5 million, I'm starting to set up to buying items between 10-20 million gold and selling them for 20-35 million. They move slower, but the profit margins are better.
For those of you grinding out there, keep it up. This concept seems to be working for Blizzard and I expect that other games will come out that will have similar real money auction house set ups, based on the model that Diablo 3 is providing. Just image, if there were 10 games out there like this with real markets and you were making $5 to $10 per day on each, you'd be pulling in $50 to $100 per day by selling virtual goods.

ReplyDeleteGl!
^^ that number would be way to much, but def if you put time in flipping items on AH you can make some doe...
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled across this blog. Just thought I'd chime in with my own experiences. Back when the RMAH was young, I was spending about 6-8 hours per day on two accounts and I (believe it or not, you probably won't) I made $120 per day from RMAH launch (June 19 2012 I think) through the end of July. I then moved abroad and that put things on hold for a couple months. I resumed the 6-8 hours per day (I'm a college student so I have time) at the beginning of October. Since then, I have steadily made $40 per day doing this. Of course, the days vary, but by the end of each week, I regularly end up with about $260-300. Obviously the hourly rate is pretty poor ($5-7 per hour), but I'm playing a video game so it's fun.
ReplyDeleteAll I have to say is it's a shame I couldn't keep making $120 per day! Anyway... I know this post was four months ago, but best of luck to you. It is still possible.
