Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Porous Polishing Abrasive cost 10 silver.

Break-even is 10 silver53 copper - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 8 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: 2 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 40 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 2 silver40 copper at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -24.0% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 42,220 units across 43 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
