How you decide how much to list for?

But, I was wondering if you were aware that when you sell for 1 inf - and on those occasions someone has anticipated such an offer and you complete the sale - you are charged 5 inf, so you really lose 4 inf on that. 

Now, we're all smart enough to know we're not going to lose sleep over 4 inf. Well, most won't. I was just wondering if you were aware the AH takes a minimum of 5 inf, even if you list at 1 inf. 

 

I did not.  Of course, since I come out millions of influence ahead every time I sell my inventory, there's zero reason for me to be bothered by that, so it's a bit of an irrelevant issue to my play experience.  Other players may feel differently, of course, and that's just fine.  We all have the freedom to set our asking price to whatever we think appropriate.  🤷‍♂️

I'm lazy and consider my time more valuable than optimizing every penny on a transaction. So unless I am absolutely double dog dare sure that I want to go to the effort of self crafting and attuning a recipe, I dump them all on the AH and my pricing scheme is a simple recipe level x 100 when listing.

Which in itself is ultimately arbitrary once one knows how the current market works, but it's fast. There's usually enough people aware of arbitrage via enhancement converters at work on the market to keep sell prices prices semi decent either way.

And even if inventory is moving slow, it's not like I get charged a time fee for old listings. They'll sell eventually. The approach is effective enough for me to be able to regularly drop 4-5 million on fresh alts and get them into self funding territory within a day or three of casual play. No farms or anything hardcore. Just running TF's when I feel like it and playing like some sort of normie. I've only had one windfall (from a very generous poster in this very thread), and to be honest, once I actually bothered to stay on a character into the 40+ range, I wouldn't have needed even that to achieve critical mass.
