Cross Faction Markets

I noticed a while back that I could get a much better deal on the ally Argent Tourny pets by actually buying them on the ally AH, so I've had this human bank toon doing nothing for a few months.  Upon logging onto him a few days ago and looking at their AH I realized something -- there's a WHOLE other market over here for me to dip into!  Plus I think they may also have more players.  So I decided to try something.

Using my APM que and knowledge of my horde glyph market I decided on about 5 glyphs from each class that sell for a good profit and fairly fast, and then went and made myself two of each for this experiment.  I transferred them and a stack of Inferno Ink over to ally via my partner's account, and set to selling them.  I did all of this yesterday.

I have 5k on ally today, from the 60 something gold I started with yesterday.  Now, transferring the glyphs over here is a bit of a hassle, but I'm thinking I may continue transferring my extra ink, as well as perhaps enchanting mats.  This way I can post twice as much as I could otherwise, and not worry about flooding my market at all!  Plus the prices on chanting mats are higher over here. =)

...I might even keep doing glyphs, just not my full line up like I post on Horde.  3k of just glyph sales (about 2k was the Inferno Ink) in one day when posting such a small selection really isn't that bad.  It seems to be a good way to diversify without having to do all that much. =)

I'm gonna keep an eye out for other things I can move to this side to make a profit, and I'll use the gold I make over here to buy cheap mats to send Hordeside.  It's perfect, and it bypasses that nasty charge the neutral AH takes from you.

Plus I can keep sending the ally cooking recipes over.  I bought two of each and brought them over and they all sold for 65-50 gold within a day.  So I'll have to try doing three this time so I don't run out of stock as fast.  I'd do more, but they don't stack and this banker as scrub bags. >_>

Have any ideas for other cross faction markets?
