Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Copper Shortsword cost 14 gold77 silver. Most of that is Copper Bar - 6 at 2 gold44 silver each, 14 gold64 silver, 99.1% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 15 gold54 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item has no current Auction House listing to compare it against, so the estimate above is left unknown rather than guessed.
