from 1C to 100K: SethOneCopper stepping into the world

Hey all,
Since I got as much comments I can actually hope for. (about 1 for every 100 readers) I think it's safe to say, I have the general idea:

So this eve, before my raid starts I'm doing the following:
setting up my bank: Sethonecopper, which will be a lvl1 gnome.
Giving him 100G.
Getting on Ari and with her craft about 20ish jewels, to get off my feet and up to aboutish 500G
(crafted products will be: +32ap +16int and +8int/3mp5) Since she's still only 71 I only have 5-6 recipes to choose from but it should be enough.
I will not purshace a bank at this point, but it is going to be a "reward" from my hard work.
The DK will probably start this weekend and lvl to 65: professions: engineer and bs. the DK will only be lvld and powerlvl his professions with the funds of my new bank (sethonecopper)

--
My Main is a LW so he'll not interfere with my new bank, but merly keep the old one at 10K for as long as necessary.
--

My goal? :
1: Reach 100K
2: give you guys some tips, pointers and must do's along the way.
3: Dominate the JC, ENG and BS market. (high tiers of it lvl80 items)

Side goal: Eradicate the need to farm my own mats. giving me an extra proffesion spot on Ari.

Reports:
1 Weekly report, maybe Biweekly if enough happens (with other words: if I screw up, you get 2 posts a week!)

My Challenge for me and you:
Mine: to make money with a profession I never used past skill150 -my bankers have the basic skill since the first rings make quite a good deal of side money -
Getting gold not primarly by resale but by prospecting and crafting.
Try and delete the need of farming my own mats.
etc

Yours: If you want, you can start the same project, and send me a mail. I welcome you guys to try out the same thing, and write some posts about it, that will be posted here, full rights granted to the person who wrote them.

In my previous post i also used the word: Help, now this came out so wrong.
I actually wanted: 1: some one who may be interrested in doing the same. or. nr.2 which will be a subject for further posts. IF this seems a bit wacky, or interresting, you'll can't wait what I have planned for NR.2

EDIT: to avoid confusion: My jewelcrafter (Ari) already has ore farmed which I will use to start the project. The 100G is used as funds for bags and posting, eliminating me to buy/resale something the first days. which actually make it harder.

tip: know who youre competing with!

Today i saw Qü again, i hate that fellow... he makes a living by undercutting me.
This though reminded me that i haven't updated the blog today, and give me a todays tip right in my head.

If you see a fellow auctioneer/banker. add him to your friends list. and put up a note (i use notesuneed for this, but blizz's note is sufficient.) Mostly you can see the serious fellow bankers from a mile away... dressed out in tuxedo's or dresses. But why would i do this you ask? Well it has a couple of advantages: you can see when they are online. (for example: if your seeing 10orso online, wait with posting and buy stuff since they ussually lower the price) You can use the general search to search by name. so just have a look at those bankers in your friends tab, and see if they have some low priced mats on it (this is ussually true sunday eve and monday -since they want to get rid of their maths) or to just have a look at what they are doing. (for example: if you see 2-3 bankers posting lets say borean leather dont post it right now, they are competing and probably overflowing the market!). You'll also get an idea of when to bid, no other bankers online = Bid now! bid bid bid! ^^

Well this was my small tip for today.
grtz
Seth

remember:
A fortune starts with one copper!
