Big money from tomes

My patience has paid off! I was getting worried that tomes would never go up!
The last two days I have sold about 1,337,267 Tomes (dat number) for roughly 412,000,000 gold after tax.
That is about 308 gold a piece. They were bought for about 100 gold a piece. That is over 300% profit!
Subtracting the original cost of the tomes I arrive at 278,000,000 gold profit.

The moral of the story, buy things when they are rock bottom and WAIT!
Here's an image of part of it.

IIRC that is a lot of spaces in inventory/chest (2.675) lol
Did you still have place for a char to play with?

But grats on that ROI. You're a gambler ;-)

I don't store things on characters I store them in the AH, you just keep them in the completed tab, they took up about 15 of 50 spaces there.

Also you can store them on different currencies of AH. ;)

For those that don't know this, if you have access to the RMAH you can switch currencies and get another 50 slots to store stuff. I put tomes there too but eventually used them for gem crafting. :/

Do you think they will go higher? I think they will hot at least 500 before anymore blossom announces any additional information.

They may go higher, but I am happy with the price at 300. This massive price increase was caused by speculation about its value increasing so I took the opportunity to sell because these things are usually short lived. The same thing happened with brimstone a while back but I held out expecting a higher increase, this turned out to be a huge mistake after they plummeted.

True but that really happened after they announced the revamping. At least I thought so.
