Patch 3.3 is all over the WoW news of late. The patch notes have been continuously updated, bosses have been tested and Heartbourne has posted more videos than I can keep up with. Lost in the information overload may have been the reveal by MMO-Champion of some awesome craftable gear. Raiders will be getting access to a pair (or more depending on specs) of high ilevel items come Icecrown Citadel. Being crafted, the additions become just another opportunity to make a horde of gold.
Simple economics tell us that the gear will be a hot commodity when the patch first drops. Many players will be clambering to upgrade their main, and likely a collection of alts, to the new gear, raising the demand of the needed consumables, and thus the price. As a friendly reminder, it would behoove those gold-starved players to begin hording these items now - eternals, transmute items (Moonshroud, Titanseel, etc), skinning items - in an attempt to fill you coffers when the bull market arrives. You have to spend gold to make gold after all.
Even if you aren't in need of turning 1000g into 5000g, the leg and feet items are sure to attract you anyways. Be smart, save some gold by purchasing the needed materials now, while they remain relatively low. I've been doing just that, snapping up eternals, Nerubian Chitin, transmute cloth, Arctic Furs, for the rogue and priest crafted gear for over a week now, assuming the price was right. I'm even farming what I can in an attempt to maximize my auction house income later on.
Honest to god, playing the auction house around patch time has made me more goblin droppings than all of my farming tactics combined. Grab Auctioneer, get some baselines for prices, research which items will see their prices skyrocket, and be sure to purchase and cash out at the appropriate times. Don't wait until Patch 3.3's release is imminent. By then it will be too late.
