Here's an example article on how to make gold in world of warcraft - in particular when to sell your items on the auction house:

Eragón - Burning Blade (EU) asked me in an email when he should sell his items. This is a great question so here is my long winded answer!

Note: Raid consumables will not follow this strategy at all. They sell best during the week when most guilds raid. Same with some high quality epics and raiding enhancements.

Before I show you the steps to taking advantage of your fellow auctioneers' "selling blues," let me explain why it works.

No no, I don't mean blue quality items. I mean blues as in depression, /cutcut, and overall frustration or sadness.

You see, auctioneers don't like watching their items come back in their mailbox with the dreaded "Auciton Expired," so here's how you take advantage of people who are at the breaking point.

Poor Joe Auctioneer posts his items on Sunday afternoon after farming all weekend (big mistake by the way, buyers are more frequently available friday-saturday. Nothing sells and he has to repost on monday-tuesday. By Wednessday-Thursday his items have not sold up to three times (depending on how long his auctions go for) and he is getting desperate.

Joe Auctioneer needs his epic flyer and those shiny relics or glistenning lichbloom or w/e the heck he farmed up is now costing him money to post! Desperate, he posts the items way too low and in huge quantities, unaware of the fact that in just one days time his auctions will be much more likely to sell. He might even advertise in trade chat to avoid losing any more money.

You, the enterprising auctioneer show no mercy and snatch all of poor Joe's auctions for resale on thursday night (set to 48 hour auction). This in essence, is how you take advantage of the "Selling Blues."

So why does this system of buying/bidding low during the week work so well? Because you're selling goods at normal prices on the weekends!
