The flip side of this is that you can make good gold if your patient.
I sold a Bloodrazor for 90g in trade chat. I’d been sitting on it for weeks, it was listed regularly at 60g-75g on the AH, and usually didn’t sell at that price. I posted in trade chat whenever I got on my bank alt. After a couple weeks, the other swords sold and there weren’t any left on the AH. Some rogue in trade chat bought mine.
Or the BoE pieces to the dungeon class sets. Sometimes there’s a billion of them and they are listed for 2g. It can literally be better to shard them. But sometimes, if you’re patient, you can get 10+ gold because there just aren’t any on the AH right then. I just made 25g off Lightbringer bracers and the beaststalker bracers just sold for 9g. I’ve made probably 100g off 4 or 5 gauntlets of valor in the same way.
Bloodrazor is actually pretty decent even if overpaying a bit. Now compare that to trying to sell the ardent custodian for 90g which is bad in every aspect
