No real market: only 30 units across 1 auction region-wide. With this little supply the lowest listing is one asking price rather than a market rate, so treat the estimate above as arithmetic, not an opportunity; a buyer at that price is not established.

  • Evidence: 1 current listing holding 30 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.

Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Brilliant Cardinal Ruby cost 15 gold.

Break-even is 15 gold78 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 150 gold, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 135 gold; the Auction House would keep 7 gold50 silver of a sale, leaving 127 gold50 silver. That is an estimated 850.0% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.6% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 30 units across 1 auction region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
