Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 1 reagent for one craft of Transmute: Elemental Fire cost 8 silver.

Break-even is 8 silver42 copper per craft, 2 silver81 copper per item at 3 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 10 silver, which clears it.

At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 22 silver; the Auction House would keep 1 silver50 copper of a sale, leaving 20 silver50 copper. That is an estimated 256.2% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 6.8% of the gross.

Listing depth right now: 31,626 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.
