About Inscription

Inscription are Trade Goods: region commodities, not per-realm listings. One auction house serves every US realm, so the buyout above is the same price on all of them. There is no cheaper realm to shop for these - only a cheaper hour.

Inscription feeds Inscription. When a patch changes what that profession crafts, these prices move first - the reagent list of the new recipe is the demand curve.

Reading these prices

Each row is the lowest buyout in the most recent snapshot, with the number of units posted behind it. A low price on thin stock empties in one buy order; a low price on deep stock is the real market. Open an item for its price history before you commit gold.
