Definitely been happening for a long time. I caught on during Dragonflight release and made quite a bit just buying the low priced stuff when I saw it. Sometimes people will also just buy all of a certain item to reset the prices all together though its harder now with the linked AH.
This is NOT a scam. It's bait, and it's primary target is not the idiot player that can't take an extra half second to look at their listing before they post. It's bait for bots, who routinely dump impossible amounts of raw materials onto the market so they can exchange in illegal RMT. This bait actually is a service to the overall WoW economy because the bots won't take the time to price their ill-gotten materials properly and at least the bait will frequently trick bots into selling their goods well below market. It's in everybody's best interest for RMT traders to get as little gold as possible, and if an enterprising Goblin can get that gold instead, even better.
As other's have mentioned. It's not a scam it's just an attempt to influence the market price. In fact, it can work to your advantage. I was trying to sell some bismuth and noticed someone doing this at a smaller scale. Ppl (or bots) were falling for it and placing their bismuth at 50g lower than the avg. Market price. I couldn't buy it quick enough at the lower price. I ended up buying 200k's worth of bismuth that I later sold for 250k.
I have noticed this over the past few days and so I am now taking a seconds to check the next selling price more often as I find that they post a few items like half the price so that people who just click sell it get's posted either at the lowest or lower than the lowest price, I would say to anyone who is selling crafting mat's via auction house to take a second to check before you pst as you can be losing half or more of the gold you could be making, Great video and I am glad that someone else has noticed this and is speaking up on it, If people do not check the price beofre they sell it will also drive the prices down faster.
or just use auctionator so you can see them properly and works similar for when your buying it will tell you before you buy something thats massively overpriced
I make a bit of gold doing this, I sell for 1 gold and then buy fast af from people that dont check. great way to make some early gold in the expansion
If you gonna fall for this you are just to lazy to quickly check the price. If that is too much to ask then sorry you earned it to get scammed. Also i don't know if this is a scam I mean the AH does not forces you to sell it at the lowest price and you see how many people sell at this cheapest price. The only thing you have to do is to check that you dont choose the same price that Ahsell4-Blackrock lists his goods. Is that to much to ask from players?
I put all my stuff up for half price so it sells fast. Why do you care what people are doing with their gold? I been playing this game for 20 years and never run out of gold. What I need to buy on the AH gets covered by just playing the game.
They're not scamming, I do it too, it's to get rid of profession materials that we don't use, and don't want to get sent back in the mail because someone undersold us. Sure, it has the added bonus of temporarily lowering prices, but it doesn't really stick.
If you have TSM it can help protect against this a bit as well, but it's a good tip to check prices for people new to the AH that haven't optimized how to buy/sell as well as degenerate goblins.
It is a problem for al the TSM scroll wheel post all on AH guys. now they have to spend time when they undercut everyone else and not just "scroll" cancel and scroll re-cut everyone else.
Just checked the AH. They are doing exactly what you are saying. Thanks.
this "scam" is going on for 20 years XD
I noticed this recently as well and I always check the pricing before listing
That not a scam, thats just price fixing.
It’s not scam ppl are just trying to bring the prices down because right now everything is too expensive

Noticed this starting at week 2, good thing im stingy af and have held onto most of my mats. Theirs ah cartels 😂
what an insane useless video lmao
Yeah, I noticed that as well. Not sure its a scam, more a noob/careless trap. All it takes, just watch what you are doing 😉

Ya sorry bro this is not a scam this why most people don't understand the AH=Competition

the next time you make a video i hope you know the difference between a scam and under cutting. facepalm

W for you to make the video, thank you
Anyone who posts lower than everyone else has mental damage 🙂
the auctionator addon helps with this. it will warn you that the price looks a bit low.

You need addon "Auctionator"
snipng bot's they have been around decades.

not really a scam. but you can also make decent gold if you're quick enough to buy it out before they do
If you have TSM it can help protect against this a bit as well, but it's a good tip to check prices for people new to the AH that haven't optimized how to buy/sell as well as degenerate goblins.
