Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Primal Spore Binding cost 119 gold65 silver. Most of that is Fantastic Fur - 1 at 94 gold45 silver each, 94 gold45 silver, 78.9% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 125 gold94 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 8 gold, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: 111 gold65 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 40 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 112 gold5 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -93.6% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 1,441 units across 69 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
