WarcraftTrade.com - Online WoW Trade Channel





World of Warcraft players know how irritating and frustrating the trade channel can be. While it can be useful, most of the time it is abused, and filled with chat like Looking for Groups, general chat, and even guild recruitment.

The Trade channel was designed to help connect buyers and sellers. Got something cool you want to unload? Spam the trade channel. Looking for an enchanter to add a little something special to your new weapon? Announce it in the trade channel.

But it comes with limitations. You have to be online, and you have to be in a city.

Those limitations drastically reduce the pool of available resources to either buy from or sell to.

Enter WarcraftTrade.com

WarcraftTrade.com was designed to be a place where buyers and sellers can connect without the restrictions, or annoyances of Trade channel. It's up 24/7, had Private Messaging so players can figure out what time to meet online for a deal, and has a feedback rating system (Karma) that helps make sure that people are building their reputation.

It's a simple forum-style site, with a distinct forum for each realm/server.

And it's free!

Overall, it's a pretty cool concept. For players who are into making gold, they can even build up relationships with repeat customers or suppliers.

So if you play World of Warcraft and have a profession that sells goods, or are looking to buy a specific item, check out WarcraftTrade.com.
