LOL, Steve: I've played for about 8 months and my main is lv49 at the moment... then again, I'm an altholic, having 4 other toons, too. And I've passed 3000g in this time, slowly turning my eyes to the steals by using Auctioneer myself.

Liking your thought processes your introducing here.

I really like the commodities end of the market, but I now have enough gold that about 30% or 1000g is sitting idle at any one time. With this in mind I have decided to dedicate about 500 gold to the big ticket end of the market. This will allow my risk adverse nature some comfort (while I'm learning at least).

I don't think I'll ever really give up the velocity of the low margin/ high turn rate of the commodities market but it is time for me to diversify.
