Best time to buy items and best time to sell them?

[Osurain]

This might be obvious to many of you on this Forum, but...

What time do you guys think the best time to buy an item cheap (for resale) and when is the best time to sell it?

I'd appreciate any type of answer or thoughts about this topic

Well, my experience with WoW is that weekends are good for selling. Lots of casuals on so larger client base. More demand is better price but also faster sails (which is more important for some commodities in my opinion) So during weekdays prices slowly tend to drop until Friday again. Sat/Sun is probably peak hours on the market

To follow up, has anyone noticed certain times in the day when items go for less or more?

There's always an obvious ebb and flow in the WoW servers.

Peak Times
1) US Nights (When Americans return home after work with the exception of Fri)
2) Aussie Nights (When Aussies return home after work with the exception of Fri)
3) US Mornings (Before Americans leave their homes for work)

PS: Aussie Mornings are overshadowed by US Nights.

Same as retail. Start of each month and every paycheck. Summer is here, so less on the weekends and more during the weeknights.
