One week into the expansion and demand is soaring. Are you seeing peak demand due to all the players leveling and gearing to raid? It is time to take advantage of that while leveling your professions at the same time. Don't hold on to anything that is from cataclysm. Cut, Craft and SELL because this is the biggest demand peak you will see in the next two years.
If you can farm your own mats you will make the highest profit margin you may see until the next expansion. I suggest leveling a farming toon first if you have one and then crafting and posting as you progress through the areas. My personal example is mining and jewel crafting. Just clearing the Hyjal area on my miner I was able to make close to 7,000g with jewelcrafting the ore he mined as he quested. Now at level 82 and in Deepholm he has made close to another 7,000g and this is within 5 hours of play time.
Next week will be the beginning of the decline on the demand for goods. I expect by December 21st to begin seeing enchanting and gem prices normalize based on their drop rates. The next market to show a demand peak will probably be raid mats once people gear to 85. After raids pick up look at stocking some items for the new pvp season.
There is a fortune to be made so now is the time to get to work and stop reading! (oh wait it's a patch day :P )
