Offer: watches the official auction house data every hour and pings you on Discord when items you flip drop below your buy price

Target customer: World of Warcraft players

Where to find customers: Discord servers, Reddit communities, YouTube tutorials

Tools needed: Blizzard Auction House API + database + Discord alerts

Recommended price for your customers: €5/month

What it is

Auction house price-drop alerts is an AI-agent business for World of Warcraft players. Concretely: watches the official auction house data every hour and pings you on Discord when items you flip drop below your buy price.

Who pays & why

Who pays: World of Warcraft players. Why: the agent does, quickly and around the clock, work they would otherwise do by hand or pay a person for. Recommended price: €5/month. You know it is working when you see: alerts acted on, gold earned per hour played. Main risk to manage: game terms of service (no botting), game patches change the meta.

How it works

  1. Customers find you through: Discord servers, Reddit communities, YouTube tutorials. They sign up on your website.
  2. The agent collects its inputs automatically using: Web scraping.
  3. Automatic quality checks run before delivery; anything unusual is sent to you for review.
  4. The result is delivered through: Messaging bots.
  5. Every week you check: alerts acted on, gold earned per hour played.

Concrete example

Example: a customer from the target group (World of Warcraft players) signs up. What they get from the first week: watches the official auction house data every hour and pings you on Discord when items you flip drop below your buy price. The customer pays €5/month. On your side you spend about 1 h per week on: fixes broken data sources or API changes.

📊 Key metrics

Revenue potential: Medium (est. €800–2500/month)Running costs (tools & APIs): €20–205/monthAutomation difficulty: 2/5 EasyHuman time: 1 h/weekIntegration Requirements: 3Setup time: ~33 h (≈4 weeks part-time)Estimated payback (return on investment): ~2 months
How we estimate this

Start-up cost = idea price (€19) + one month of running costs while you build (€113). Monthly profit = low end of the revenue estimate (€800) minus average running costs. We assume 2 months of ramp-up at half revenue and add your setup time. Your own working hours are not counted. It is an estimate, not a promise.

⚙️ Automation difficulty: 2/5 – Easy

Why this automation score

  • Score 2: mostly standard tools; a few connections need careful set-up.
  • Easy to automate: Database and Messaging bots.
  • Harder to automate (needs set-up and monitoring): Web scraping.
  • Still needs a human: fixes broken data sources or API changes — about 1 h per week.

  4. 4 – Hard: complex data or sensitive output, a coding agent or developer recommended.
  5. 5 – Very hard: advanced engineering, strict quality and compliance control.
