Finding a truffle in the leather shuffle

I was busy subscribing to the gold queens new email 13 week gold making course, when I stumbled upon her post about the leather shuffle.
Today’s blog post is a reminder that Savage Leather  can be made into Heavy Savage Leather .  10 Heavy Savage Leather can be shuffled at a leather supplies vendor (except, oddly, the one in Dalaran!?) by ANY PLAYER into a single Pristine Hide .
In turn, Pristine Hide can be made by a leatherworker into lovely expensive gold making leg armors.
Oddly, a lot of players have given up on the idea that farming makes gold, so I go over to the auction house, well the other side of my garrison and do a little search on the US Sargeras Auction House, seems leather is in short demand, since we all gave up our skinning skills to pick up Engineering or some other craft that would net us more gold in the long run.
So, in a sense instead of just buying and crafting I now must farm, skin, stockpile, then craft to make one leg armor. Which means I am in the middle of TBC Nagrand, farming knothide leather, clefthoof leather, primals and a host of other little niche items that twink's use, one such item, the Glove Reinforcement will net you 600g profit for a few minutes work. On average I sell about 6 a week. But I don't sell anything else on this toon except leg armors, warlords crafted items, and bags and refurbishing kits. No I do not spend time farming Savage, Mighty and Burnished Essence, its a waste of my time and effort for a market that changes constantly, in a sense making 2000g in one splurge that would take me all day to complete, when I can spend 15 minutes online posting my little leg armors, canceling, and reposting those throughout the day to make on average about 10k a day profit.
Now for the Truffle, all this farming here on a deserted island from the burning crusade will net me cash in the very near future.  Think along the lines of motes and primals. Yeah, now you see the big picture! Those few leg armors that I make and sell are nothing compared to the gold  you rake in when selling, primals and motes. There used to be an engineering thing, that while you were in the outland you could collect motes and primals thru this little machine!  There was another item for when you were in Northrend, that did that same thing with those elementals, perhaps that's worth looking into. Note to self find the machine!
More later, Toodaloo!
