I rarely go to Tanaris. However when I do I like to run a little circle around the area and pick up some of the many recipes. these sell pretty well to completionist and a couple are limited and worth some decent gold. Most people will tell you only to invest in limited supply recipes but in truth the regular recipes do sell. It might take a little longer but the deposits are cheap. How often do you buy a recipe in the auction house just to avoid having to find where to get it and going out of your way to do so?
First thing you should do when you arrive in Gadgetzan is actually go North out onto the shimmering flats (technically out of Tanaris I know) and pick up a few chickens at the racetrack (these sell really well) also see Jinky Twizzlefizxxit who has the Lovingly crafted Boomstick Recipe. this is a limited supply recipe that sells for around 30g. head back to Gadgetzan and find the following vendors/recipes
Dirge QuickCleave (or the innkeeper)
Tender wolf steak Cost= 1.8g Sell price= 10g+
Blizrik Buckshot
EZ-Thro Dynamite II (limited) Cost= 45 Silver Sell price = 15-30g
Alchemist Pestlezugg
Philosopher's Stone Cost= 72 silver Sell price= 15-25g
Transmut Iron ---> Gold Cost= 72 silver Sell price= 10+g
Transmut Arcanite Cost=4.5g Sell price= 20g
Nature protection potion (limited)= Cost 18 silver Sell price=5+g

After you grab these recipies head down the road to Steam wheedle port and pick up the following.
Haughty Modiste
Pattern Dress Shoes(limited) Cost= 45 silver Sell price= 25-30g
Haliscan Jacket Cost=45 silver Sell price= 5-10g

While in Tanaris you might want to check the neutral AH for any items that might be underpriced or good cross faction sales (white kittens anyone??). Before you leave you could toss a couple faction pets in your bag and post them as well.
Now the recipe prices are subject to fluctuate based on if other people are buying and reselling. You'll probably see a couple of these recipes already on the auction house but there should always be some profit left in them. Selling recipes does however really shine in times when there will be lots of new alts running around (can you think of any coming up?). I don't honestly believe this tip is going to make you fabulously wealthy , but it should put a couple hundred gold in your pocket.
Great tip! Thanks! I love your blog, by the way, especially for me since I'm always poor. Keep it up.
