When I was first learning to play and reading all the guides, I read something once that said "never TT anything"; and I initially approached the game this way. It didn't take me long to realize how unrealistic that was.
There are some items which are not used in crafting or anything else, and are impossible to sell. On the flip side, there's some items that are so common and oversupplied, that they have no viable markup. Even some stacks or item drops with 105-110% MU I would try to sell would just sit in AH until expiry and I'd have to take my auction fee loss and just TT them anyway (and yes, I always sell at or under monthly).
Fast forward 9 months, I find now I'm in the habit of just cherry picking the couple of items out of my loot that have really good MU that I know I can sell, and tossing everything else. However, it still nags at me that this is not a very smart way to play, and that I could be stretching my PED further.
So my purpose in starting this thread is that the sparse information I can find on this topic is typically very vague or very old. I would like to solicit anyone who can contribute to the discussion for some solid tips on how to sell your loot effectively, to help myself and other noobs reclaim some lost MU.
Please consider that this thread would be to help those of us who don't have the bankroll to build up huge stacks to make the margin worthwhile or to hold on to items until the timing is right. Any tips on how to help maximize your return at the lower or mid levels will be the most appreciated.
