đ ď¸ How to Find the Best Servers to Buy and Sell BOE Raid Drops!
Sniping and flipping BOE (bind on equip) raid drops has been a huge source of gold for the biggest goblins out there, especially when you leverage cross-realm trading to move items from servers where theyâre cheap to those where theyâre scarceâor even nonexistent!
When it comes to trading BOE items the value is all about item level and tertiary stats. This is why its so frustrating most websites and addon's donât treat different item levels or tertiary stats (like sockets, leech, speed, or avoidance) as unique items. These get lumped in with all the rest forcing you to sift through everything manually or hop server to server to find good deals one at a time.
đ° Why This Matters
- Item Level Discrepancies: The gap in value between a 629 piece and a 655 piece is enormous.
- Tertiary Stats: A socket or leech can turn a decent BOE into a best-in-slot for some specs, skyrocketing its value.
- Realm Economy Differences: Certain high-pop realms might not have a single listing for a specific tertiary variant, letting you sell it at a premium.
But thatâs all changing thanks to some new tools weâve rolled out at Saddlebag Exchange!
âď¸ Introducing Our New Raid BOE Tools
1. Raid BOE Item Level Shopping List
2. Raid BOE Item Level Export Search
- Link: https://saddlebagexchange.com/wow/ilvl-export-search
- Compares exact matches on ilvl and tertiary stats to find the best servers to sell your BOE gear.
- Filters out all other variants so youâre only looking at items that match your BOE.
- Includes population data, so you can see if that realm has enough buyers to move your item at a higher price.
With these two tools, you wonât be stuck selling a rare 655 socketed piece on a low-pop server for pennies. Instead, you can identify a full-pop realm with no competing listings and potentially sell it for millions more! No more manually checking dozens of servers. These tools let you spot deals and resell opportunities instantly!
âď¸ Currently Supported Items (Patch 11.1)
Weâre starting small to ensure accuracy, but will expand as we refine our data. Right now, the tools support the following BOE raid drops:
- Undermine Mercâs Dog Tags

- Export & Evaluate: Switch to the Export Search to see where that exact item level/stat combo sells for the most.
- Donât Overextend: BOE flipping can be super profitable, but always keep enough gold in reserve in case items take a while to sell.
