Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 4 reagents for one craft of Dark Iron Bomb cost 201 gold25 silver. Most of that is Dark Iron Bar - 1 at 170 gold each, 170 gold, 84.5% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 211 gold84 silver per craft, 70 gold61 silver per item at 3 items a craft - 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.
