Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 3 reagents for one craft of Tinker's Kit cost 36 gold30 silver. Most of that is Ghost Iron Bolts - 2 at 13 gold8 silver each, 26 gold16 silver, 72.1% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 38 gold21 silver per craft, 19 gold10 silver per item at 2 items a craft - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 1 gold55 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: −33 gold20 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 15 silver50 copper of a sale, so a craft loses 33 gold35 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -91.9% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 2,926 units across 46 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
