Of course, now that I'm nearly level 50, money flows in and out rather freely and even if I'm dead broke at one point, a few hours later I'll have more money than I need for standard repairs, restocks of arrows and skill advancements. I don't often have enough money to buy really good equipment, but that's a whole 'nuther story ;)
I've found that Friday night and Saturday morning are the best times to sell things on the AH. There's a lot of people gathered around the Auctioneers during those times and things which don't sell on Monday and Tuesday hardly at all, will sell like hotcakes on Friday night and Saturday.
So, this morning I spent my 45 min before work putting together some of my standard Leatherworking items so I can sell them between the hours of 3 PM Friday and 3 PM Saturday... I made 10 Dark Leather Tunics which I generally sell for 90s each, 5 Quickdraw Quivers which can sell for 3-5g each depending on the current glut on the market, and as many Thick Leather Ammo Pouches which can sell for 4-5g each as well.
I listed a few of the items this morning for the Friday morning/early afternoon buyers, including the one Thick Leather Ammo Pouch I could put together with the Elixir I had left. I listed the pouch at a buyout of 4g75s because there were 4 pouches already listed at a buyout of 5g. I'm confident that when I get home from work, that'll be sold.

Last week I did a good job at emptying out my "things for sale" bank slots but I made the mistake of restocking immediately and all last week I was struggling with inventory space as a result. This week I plan to start to restock on Thursday instead of right away. Sure, I'll still do my flights to pick up the recipes that are limited in stock during the week, but those things always go right into the AH and do well at selling anyway.
Another strategy I'm going to employ this weekend is one designed to improve my new Enchanting levels. I dropped Skinning recently in favor of picking up Enchanting, which is a decision I haven't regretted, since skins are available so cheaply and regularly in the AH anyway. It has taken some getting used to however, and I still feel as if something is missing after I kill a beast ;)
At any rate, my strategy will be to buy cheap low-level things that I can enchant (I usually try to bid on them instead of buying them out), and then sell back at a higher price than I paid, on the AH. I tried this strategy once with low-level bracers and it went well - I bought things for 7-15s and sold most of them for 25-40s after enchanting. I'm sure it wasn't the enchantments that helped it sell really, but it was nice to get the experience points and the bit of extra cash as well.
In the end this week, all the selling etc allowed me to buy my second Epic item. Once I can login and get the official name I'll post what I have, here.
