As a guild leader/guild bank manager, I have a couple questions as to how you afford this. Granted, EJ has been around forever and I'm sure most of the money has accrued over time, but how do you keep the guild bank's income steady? Does EJ have some sort of turnin system to encourage guild members to donate or is it purely from income that the bank is able to buy these things?

Personally, our guild bank provides mostly only Flasks of the Titans. When we were learning Huhuran, we told everyone to bring 5 of them, then the guild would provide after that. Now that we're working on Ouro, we're doing the same thing. That is our expenditures (for the most part). Our income is from a few different ways. We sell all BOE items that drop in our raids (the blues off Rag/Nef, etc.). We actually have gotten pretty lucky. Sold a polymorph turtle book for 1200g and we got an Alcor's Sunrazor in AQ last week heh. Stuff like that. For the most part though, that is the entirety of our income. We have begun selling helms off Onyxia and we are also selling MC runs once a week (These haven't really kicked into full effect yet, word of mouth is still spreading). With this income vs. expenses, the bank breaks about even.

I would like to do something like providing repair money and stuff like that, and hopefully as we sell more MC loot we will have a bigger income to play with. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips on how to make money/save money for a guild.

Do a few runs of MC and sell everything that isnt used by the people in that raid and you will net 2k gold atleast from it. BOE epics still sell well on the AH, atleast on sargeras they do and if you can get 15-20 nexus that is 750g-1k. Not to mention all the essence of fire and earth typically sell for 5g apiece. If you are on ouro my guess is you should be able to get MC down in 3.5 hours which is pretty good money farming time.
