Items that sell on the Real Money Auction House

The Real Money Auction House was finally released in Europe this morning and people are already reporting sales rolling in. Check this thread for instance where some players has already earned almost 300€.

Question is, what does sell on the real money auction house?

Since Blizzard has still not enabled commodity trading, gold can not be sold. The items that does seem to sell are legendary, greens and really nicely rolled yellows.










Someone put this item up for 250€. Is it a nice item? Yes. Will it sell for max buyout.. who knows, but I would think it is unlikely.








Yellow item sale attempt on the D3 RMAH




There is also stuff like these yellow boots, put up with a min bid of 2.22€ and no BO. I am quite sure they will not sell either.





But great items do sell. There are some really high DPS weapons up on the Real Money Auction House that will probably reach quite a high buyout price.




The guy who put this extremely high dps 1 handed weapon up for auction might actually get his 250€ asking price. So in essence. If you wish to make money on the RMAH, make sure you price your stuff realistically and make sure it is worth something in the first place. Good luck. I am off to farm some more!

D3 Real Money Auction House postponed again in Europe

I got up early this morning as I wanted to be able to get a headstart on stocking the real money auction house, time is money as they say.

To no real surprise of mine though, it wasn't available. Blizzard has postponed it yet again, this time until the 15th of June. That means, that the RMAH is now a month delayed from the release of Diablo 3.

Grrrr!

The Real Money Auction House is live in the US now though, which means the worst bugs and issues might be caught before the EU starts using it. Also it gives me the opportunity to try and figure out what will sell on the RMAH besides gold.

It is currently a bit unclear whether gold can be traded for real money immediately, since commodities are not yet live in the Realm Money Auction House.

I sure hope it is not only items that can be sold.
