First time poster, long time reader and got a lot of assistance from posts in this thread so thought would add my own ways of making gold.
Firstly, i have 2 Transmute spec Alchemists, so i will buy Primal Earth for 3.5gold and Transmute to Life and sell for 25gold plus.
Also making Mystic Spellthread nets me nice profits, i buy the Primal Mana below 20g, paying 20 max and can sell the made product for 150g with usually around 80-90g spent on mats.
Same with CobraHide Armor kits, can usually buy a couple scales for 40g, although Primal Air is quite expensive i can make them for around 180g and sell for 250g no problems.
Used to bid on the 20g Imbued Netherweave Robes, disenchant and sell the Large Prismatics at 27g plus, the market has dropped a bit so don't spend too much time on this lately.
Ghost Mushroom's sell for big bucks, i sell 10 for 25g usually. I leave my Herbalist Rogue in the cave in Hinterlands and while playing will log off every 20mins to grab the 3 that are in the cave. I will also leave my miner there to mine the 2 Mithril/Truesilver nodes in the cave as well. That way for 5mins work per 20mins can give you a few stacks over the course of a day/night that can get you like a nice pay out. On the topic of herbs i will also go to Blasted Lands and grab a heap of Gromsblood where i can sell a stack of 5 for 8gold.
This morning Primal Air was like 44g on Horde side Proudmoore so with a few curcuits of Nagrand with my mote extractor i can do a couple dailies, (nether residue and surveying), get some Primal Air's, (also killing Storm Ragers and Living Cyclones, take a trip in the North and South Clefts for mining nodes, fly over the lakes and get any nodes there also killing as many water elementals to maybe get a few free motes of water, same with shadow guys when doing the Surveying quest just hopefully pick up 1, 2 or 3 from a couple kills, over a couple days you might get a Primal or two.
I run BRD with my mage and lower level shamen to get exp, runecloth and shards from disenchanting blues. Runecloth is 5g a stack at the moment, so i might get 8 stacks in there, plus all the other useful lower level stuff that sells surpringly well.
As has been said during the week the prices will rise which is the best time to sell, i will hold off selling on weekends and do the majority of my farming then. During the week when my play time is decreased i will just do simple dailies that keeps the gold ticking over and just relax and play the AH.
I've been making about 2.5k a week last 3 weeks with limited play time during the week. For someone who never had money from the amount of alts i have it's been good to make like 8k in the last month and i'm actually having fun doing it.
I could go on with other things i do, but i won't waste any more of your reading time.
