Place Your Bids

Tomorrow Diablo 3 will be going down for maintenance. For whatever reason, I feel like it could be down for a good bit. Call it intuition.

Either way, get your bids in early tomorrow morning or tonight, and if maintenance runs long you'll probably win quite a few.

Don't forget to bid on the RMAH as well! You'd be shocked how many $1.25 items can be turned into $7-$10 (just like under-priced gold auctions can be flipped).Your Gold Guide is Waiting!

Farming Billions of Gold in Diablo 3

I have made over one billion gold per day since the latest patch 1.0.8. We use some tricks to turn our dollars back into gold on the forums and gold guide, but even without them, you should be making several hundred million gold. I expect this weekend to be just another continuation of the great streak I've been having in Diablo 3.

Why are items selling more often? Well, gold actually makes sense to buy at the moment, and is not stuck at the minimum price for once! Now you can buy 10 million gold at a time, which goes for around 30 cents. Since that's 5 cents above the minimum, then gold truly has value right now and people are willing to buy/sell at that price! (we on the forum aren't, but that's a story for another day).

Another reason for the increased sales is a throng of players coming back to the game. I believe that many of them are happy with the increased magic/gold find changes for grouping together. They could also be excited about the PvP, which many returning players probably haven't seen yet. Just look at your friends list and see the large number of people showing up for a change!

I'm working tirelessly to discover new markets and share them with guide/forum members. Please consider joining at the current 50% discounted price. It's my way of saying thank you to anyone who waited for me to update the guide to patch 1.0.8. The price will go back up next week.Your Gold Guide is Waiting!

Do You Pick Up Flawless Square Gems?

You should pick up flawless square gems. They sell near instantly during prime time on your server, and you can effectively store up to 10,000-30,000 gold x 100 per slot. That's a lot of cash you might be throwing away if you don't pick up flawless square gems. Since gems can be created by combining 3 of a lower tier plus jewelcrafting tomes/pages, the lesser quality square gems are also quite valuable (considering that they take up a super small amount of space).

I also pick up tomes, pages, essences, etc because they sell instantly and take up one square in your inventory. Once you get to a full stack, they are worth far more than most random items you pick up and identify. To top it all off, those random items are probably two slots as well.

Hopefully you aren't passing up on these items because individually they aren't worth very much. It's the same as not running over and grabbing the gold drops from a hoard of mobs.Your Gold Guide is Waiting!

Breaking the 3 Billion Gold Mark

"Hey Markco,

I would love to tell you about my time with Diablo III and my time after i finally got up the guts to buy your guide.
I started out late in D3 as i was broke and unable to afford the game. One income family with my wife in school, I had to collect beer cans to buy the game but had an older laptop to play the game on. When a friend quit playing he gave me the 1.5 mil that he had saved and with that I played around on the AH to see how it worked. I found some low level weapons to flip and found that could be quite profitable but not going to pay any bills. 
I found your blog and was able to use some of the tips you had there and make even more. I talked to my wife and said listen if i buy this guide that we don't have the money for i am sure i could make enough money back from it that it will pay for itself.
Pay for itself it did. Within 2 days of purchase I had made enough to pay back the house. My next goal was to buy a computer that would easily handle the game play and provide my family with a second machine to be able to play and have her be able to work on school work at the same time.
Over the months I was able to save up $600 pay for the CPU and a new monitor to play on. Also the $ to Gems to Gold idea has bolstered my Gold totals to over 3 Billion... although it is a little lower now since i was able to buy a sweet Unity for my Barb.
None of this would have been possible if not for you. Next goal is to put payments towards our car. My wife does not know you but she loves that you have helped our family so much while making a better life for you and your family. Know that your work does not go unnoticed!
Forever your Diablo III AH follower,
Thanks Again,
Tristan" You can join Tristan and everyone else on our forums and guide! Your Gold Guide is Waiting!

Cain's Memory Just a Memory

I have sold over 100 Cain's Memory two weeks ago after the crazy patch 1.0.8 influx of players. Now things are starting to settle back to normal, and although I can still sell just as many Cain's Memory, I really can't make more than 100,000 gold per item. Previously I was earning 600,000 - 800,000 gold per piece with a socket in it.

Why did this item sell so well? Because people made new characters or returned to the game. Guide owners knew to target low level players when patch 1.0.8 came out, and I actually did a ton of videos on randomly identifying rares farmed just prior to the patch.

Get in on our guide and forums here.

I am focusing now on what's next. I believe it will be PvP, but in the mean time I also need to come up with some new strategies, or at least find ways to explain the old ones better. That way everyone can make gold and money from this little obsession of ours. Your Gold Guide is Waiting!

Diablo 3 Console and PC Version

Click over here for news about the great stuff you can get for pre-ordering Diablo 3 on the xbox 360 and ps3. By the way, I think it's bullcrap that we paid $100 for the collector's edition to get wings, but console players basically get it for buying the game!
