Ruleset labels are provisional. Why, and how to help

Blizzard's data does not say which auction house belongs to which ruleset. Our labels are a best guess until players confirm them. You can help: upload a ledger from the wowfah Ledger addon after posting an auction here.

How this is worked out

There is no auction house cut and no waiting for a buyer: the vendor pays at once. "Profit each" is for the cheapest listing; the other units under vendor price cost a little more, which the total allows for.

Vendor prices come from the game's item data. Check the sell price on the tooltip in game before buying in bulk, because some prices have been changed by hotfix. Bargains like these are usually gone within the hour.
