Every week, WoW Insider brings you [hide]Gold Capped[/hide], in which [hide]Fox Van Allen[/hide] and Basil «[hide]Euripides[/hide]» Berntsen aim to show you how to make money on the auction house. Feed Fox’s ego — or offer him instant bargains — by [hide]emailing him[/hide] or tweeting him at [hide]@foxvanallen[/hide].
One of my all-time favorite television shows as a child was $ale of the Century. It was a simple question-and-answer game show with a twist: All correct answers only awarded contestants with $5. However, at various points in the show, contestants would be given the chance to buy thousands of dollars worth of prizes for next to nothing — a new recliner for $8, a trip to Hawaii for $17.
It was a special economy all its own. A trip to Hawaii could cost $2,176 in one place while costing $17 in another. It’s the same good ol’ U.S. currency — it’s just that $17 has a far greater value in one context than $2,176 has in another.

The fantastic BOE [hide]Mekgineer’s Chopper[/hide] is normally valued at 15,000 gold. But today, on Sale of the Azerothian Century, that Chopper can be yours for only … 1 silver. Or 240,000 gold. Depends on who your seller is.[hide]Continue reading Gold Capped: The wild west economy of the patch 4.3 PTR[/hide]Filed under: [hide]Economy[/hide], [hide]Gold Capped[/hide][hide]Gold Capped: The wild west economy of the patch 4.3 PTR[/hide] originally appeared on [hide]WoW Insider[/hide] on Mon, 03 Oct 2011 15:00:00 EST.
