If you're not going to be on when the auction expires you may very well lose the item to someone who is willing to just pay 1k more than you at the last second. What you're willing to pay, and where you're going to be when the auction expires. In general when using the BMAH you have to take 2 things into consideration. Prices will drop exponentially by then and you can get your invitation for a great deal. Maybe even get an invite from a friend if they have one. Sure go back and check daily what they're going for, or check trade for people selling cheap invites, but wait it out at least 1-2 weeks. If you're not interested in the Realm First I HIGHLY suggest this route. If your pockets are deep and you can outbid your competitors, and babysit the auctions, you can be the first to try this, and possibly get the Realm First. Maybe you're one of the elite gold makers on your server and you want to try out this Brawler's Guild before everyone else, perhaps because you're after the Realm First Achievement associated with it. Now, the number of invites you see in this picture will most likely be more than that on the live servers when 5.1 comes out (maybe not though), but these are going to be a pricey commodity when 5.1 first comes out and the weeks to follow. Needless to say these non-BMAH invites won't be spreading around for a while. Invites take Rank 7 in the guild which this post (read it for more info) says currently requires ~75k dps on the PTR. And where does one obtain such an invite? The Black Market Auction House, or as Cold pointed out to me, through member invite. Well I'm breaking the first rule by writing this post, but when reading an article on Wowhead about Brawler's Guild on the PTR, I was surprised to see that you can access this content by invite only. I was busy for a while IRL and when Sandy came (I live in NJ) things got hectic for a while, but now things have settled down and I finally have some time to write and play WoW.

I want to start out this post by appologizing a bit for the lack of content in the past few weeks.
