Well, I've spent more time playing the AH than the game itself (it's an addiction I tell you) I'm up to 50m atm and that's after gearing both my WD and GFs Monk for Inferno act 2.
Haven't touched the RMAH yet as I'm waiting for the initial hype/hate to settle down before deciding if its worth using at all

Do play the two AH against one another :D Buy on the one sell on the other etc. Quite a number of good but not outstanding gear selling for few Euros while their equivalent sell for a lot more gold. While some gold items sell for less than the equivalent euro items... Takes a bit more gambling but potential nice areas to score.

I started doing Warden / Butcher runs in inferno, its a quick and nice way to get easy gold and not to mention there are some good drops if you get lucky
Went from 400K to 1.2 mil with about 9 runs

Its pointless for me to do things like that. I do not have 9 hours to grind and that for 800k? I can do +- 250k per hour and its still not worth it for me considering upgrades cost 5mil+ per item and weapons 15-20mil+

He said 9 runs :O that would be like ~90 mins for 800k
Which does not sound to bad, but I guess this was pre-gold-nerf? or recent? Or with nice drops sold on AH?
With the new patch this type of run is also on my agenda again, since there are always some easy elite packs on this run

I've been looking into doing this and tried with some 'high' demand items a couple of nights ago, bought them cheapish on the gold AH and put them up as the cheapest available on the RMAH, no luck though. Not really fussed though, also waiting for there to be more B.net balance cash in circulation.

Anyhoo with the patch I upgraded my BS & JC to level 10 and tried out some BS patterns I had found, all I got was a lot of crap (500dps weapons, etc) so that was a couple of hundred thousand down the drain. That said yesterday I made about 10M gold due to smart people being dumb: With the AS nerf tons of "smart" people were chucking their low level AS gear (Boj Anglers/Lacuni Prowlers mainly) on the AH for silly prices and tons of uninformed people still buying AS gear, so I managed to flip a good 20 items throughout the day. Brought me up to 77M

Lol....
Saved up 1.7mil (finally upgraded to full stash as well as getting jeweler to lvl 10 a week or so ago) for repairs to my items :)

I have not played more than 5 hours in the last two weeks :(

I am still in Hell..... Sure I will put in a few good hours this weekend :D

This was all done yesterday so prepatch, out off all the items I got I did sell 1 item on the AH for 200K but other than that I just sold them to vendors or kept items for alts

I actually thought it was due to a large spend on the AH and your total was posted more in humour :D
See you in Inferno bud ;)

For some reason I have not found it hard to get some good gear on AH for cheapish, guessing that all changes at lvl 60 / inferno :(

and thanks should make it there by saturday evening :D

Sounds like my first venture into Act 2 with my monk :D

Shall we perhaps just TRY Act 2? See what sort of dmg reduction actually took place? That place scared my barb so bad he won't go back there alone...

well I checked my WD damage and it dropped from 21.5k to 18.5k, so act 2 is going to be fun to say the least.
Atleast I know I can run from one side of the map to otherside with the mobs behind me :)
