The hardest part for me is letting go since I hoard more for sentimental reasons than economic =P

Also, I still don't know how to tell if an item will be "hoard material" when it first comes out (other than RIGs which are almost always a good form of quick profit)

just bought the gauntlets and goblins x 3 when do you recomend a sell 2 weeks?

Did you buy them with gold or cash? Because either way I seriously urge you to sell them now and re-buy again later when the price goes down.

I do have one question after reading your guide. Out of all of the ways you explained which would you recommend to a novice hoarder to help them better grab the concept. Some people, including myself learn better from doing rather than be told how to/ reading how to. I'm sorry for annoying you with this stupid question, just curiosity is all.

Hoarding event items or maybe even certain sponsor items. It's cheap and lets you get a feel for the way it works without your either tying up a lot of gold or loosing a lot of gold if you make a mistake. However, you can also practice by choosing a couple of good items to hoard and tracking their price on a regular basis over a few months to see how they go up in price.

The factors that drive the economy are supply and demand. You just need to identify items that have (or will have) a limited (or dwindling) supply and a steady or increased demand.

Try a few months. You will rarely find items that are worth hoarding for just a couple weeks.
