Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Thick Leather cost 18 gold6 silver.

Break-even is 19 gold1 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 2 gold99 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: 15 gold7 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 14 silver95 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 15 gold21 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -84.3% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 48,300 units across 100 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
