General Sales Tips for World of Warcraft Auction House

The 0.99 Rule

This is a common sales technique that is already used by shops and companies throughout the world and it is still just as useful in world of Warcraft You should always try to sell an item for 99s instead of 1g or 99g instead of 100g as buyers always tend to see the different grade in money (Copper, silver, Gold) more readily than the actual amount.

The loss to you? Nearly Negligible. What do you gain? The buyer would most probably buy your 99s item over the other guys 1g item or cause someone to buy via impulse if his still on the fence on whether to purchase the item or not.

This little trick works even better if you actually use that as your Buyout price instead of the bid amount and is arguably the easiest way to make the item that your selling much more appealing without any significant investment.

Nobody can afford that much

Have you always wanted to buy 5 swiftthistle instead of 10 and realized only stacks of 20 are on sale or you wanted to buy 10 Fadeleaf when only stacks of 20 are available? The simple fact remains, many sellers always place stacks of 20s when nobody needs or can afford that much! By simply selling in stacks of 5 for relatively expensive but high demand ingredients, you can greatly increase your chance of selling off your stuff.

Trying to earn profits through the 'Supply and Demand' concept would be much easier however this strategy is for another time :)

Africa To Invest Heavily In Broadband

africa is set to invest heavily in broadband, with the cumulative investment in ADSL and wireless broadband infrastructure expected to reach US$1.1 billion by 2011. This investment excludes customer equipment costs, says African ICT research house a BMI-TechKnowledge.

"These investment figures exclude investments that GSM and fixed line operators are expected to make in their core networks for the provision of voice and other data services, which will also be leveraged to provide broadband data services," says Richard Hurst, a BMI-T analyst and co-author of the report.

Stephane Tchies, who co-authored the report with Hurst says in general, wireless technologies will dominate broadband connections in africa, resulting in increased uptake of wireless broadband services.

This is because many African countries traditionally have low penetration of fixed line infrastructure and wireless networks are more cost effective and faster to roll out.

"We expect telecoms operators to prefer investing in wireless technologies because they are significantly cheaper, she says.

Crystal-balling 2011

The report says the number of broadband connections, both fixed and wireless will reach over 7 million by 2011, with DSL subscribers accounting for close to 3.7 million.

By 2011, dial-up connections will dramatically drop from the current base of 76% to 17%, while DSL grows from 26% to 43% of the broadband market share, he says.

fixed wireless broadband connections (using technologies such as iBurst) will also see a big leap, going from 2% to 18%. Cellular connections will grow from 2% to 21% she says.

basic Internet access and the ability to deliver voice services will be the driving force of the uptake of broadband services in africa, Tchies says.

Tchiees adds that North africa is expected to benefit considerably from the increased uptake of broadband, while the sub-Saharan markets are expected to remain the same due to the current lack of international capacity, Tchies says.

In North africa we are seeing a healthy uptake of services with Morocco reporting 350,000 ADSL subscribers and Egypt 150,000 while the rest of the continent broadband is starting to gain traction," she says.

South Africa also expects to see quantum leap in broadband adoption by 2010, when the country will host the 2010 FIFA world Cup Soccer.

Currently, there are five undersea cable projects in various stages of development in the African continent. The cable projects are to provide addo provide additional bandwidth to African countries, ensuring cheaper access to bandwidth.
