Where do you advertise? In Ironforge, I hope? That is where it is done.
Anywhere else, you're NOT likely to get many bites. Go there during
primetime during the evening, whenever that is on your server... or
pretty much anytime at a reasonable hour on weekends, and just post
this:
"Transmuting Arcanite - 5g. PST"
Worked every time, for me. Or whatever the going price is, on your
server. Or, better yet, do what the people are doing who ask you to
transmute for them, and make *twice* that amount... here's the scam,
with prices taken from my server:
1) at AH, buy arcane crystal for 17-20g
2) at AH, buy thorium bar for going price (should be less than 1g)
3) transmute them with your alchemist into arcanite
4) put up arcanite bar at AH for 28-33g buyout, with base starting
bid only a coupla gold under that- just scan current going price
for arcanite, before you list.
So, you invest around, say, 21 gold for materials, and factor in your
same 5g profit for the transmute, and then the profit from the auction
of the bar of anywhere from 2-5g free and clear over that... or more,
if the daily market for arcanite is tight... that is what most of the
people who are paying you to transmute are doing
Do it yourself,
and make more money.
