Reading these numbers

At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Transmute: Ocean Sapphire cost 38 gold16 silver. Most of that is Azshara's Veil - 3 at 9 gold6 silver each, 27 gold18 silver, 71.2% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.

Break-even is 40 gold16 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 23 gold92 silver, which does not clear it.

The crafted item currently lists for less than its reagents cost: 14 gold24 silver before fees, and the Auction House would still take 1 gold19 silver of a sale, so a craft loses 15 gold43 silver at these prices. At current listings, buying the crafted item costs less than making it. That is an estimated -40.5% return on the gold you put into reagents.

Listing depth right now: 4,116 units across 149 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
