Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Superior Healing Potion cost 13 gold9 silver. Most of that is Khadgar's Whisker - 1 at 8 gold88 silver each, 8 gold88 silver, 67.8% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 13 gold77 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 3 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −13 gold6 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 15 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 13 gold6 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -99.8% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 510 units across 88 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
