Vendor Sell Price (after AH cut)

AH Cut Percentage

Why This Happens

The Auction House takes a 5% cut from your sales. If your minimum price is too low, you'll lose gold compared to vendoring.

Vendor Price: Gold you get when selling to NPC vendor
AH Cut: 5% of sale price (WoW standard)
Minimum Price: Your safety net - lowest price you're willing to accept

To match vendor profit after AH cut:

Minimum Price ≥ Vendor Price ÷ 0.95

Or: Minimum Price = Vendor Price × 1.053

Step-by-Step Solution

Check Your Item's Vendor Price

Open your bags, right-click the item, and select "View in Merchant" to see its vendor sell price. For Pungent Seal Whey, it's typically 12g 50s or similar.

Vendor Price: 12.50 gold

Calculate Minimum Price

Use the formula to find your safe minimum price. This ensures you don't lose gold after the 5% AH cut.

Min Price ≥ 12.50 ÷ 0.95 = 13.16 gold

Update TSM Settings

In TSM, navigate to your group settings and update the Minimum Price value:

%vendsell * 1.05

This formula automatically calculates 105% of vendor price.

Alternative: Just Vendor It

If the item doesn't sell well on the AH, it's often better to vendor it directly rather than listing it below vendor price.
