10 gold Auction House Challenge

As stated previously, I am a casual WoW player. I estimate my play time to be about 6 hours per week. Occasionally more, if I actually get a 5-man together to run an instance.

Acquiring large sums of gold for big ticket items is difficult for casual players. Currently, I am saving up 5,000 gold for my artisan riding skill. This will allow me to get my Swift Flight Form, which is quite the stylin flyin mount.

I am interested to see how much gold I can make by working the AH. I don't like to grind. However, once I have my epic flyer, I think that the combination of gathering herbs, fishing and transmutes is going to net copious amounts of gold.

As a project, I'm going to create an AH alt and send it 10 gold from my main character. Over the next 3 months I plan to use 15-20 minutes of my limited playtime to see how much gold I can generate. I plan to use Auctioneer or a similar addon to assist in this venture. I have never used Auctioneer, so I will also post on my experience with this addon.

If you would like to join me, leave a comment at any time. The rules I follow are below. If I alter any of these rules as the experiment progresses, I will post them here. If you can make more gold than me, I'll post a photo of your toon on my site and ask you to write a guest post with your strategies.
