It amazes me the prices people will pay. Someone will actually buy a Karma def/end for 20 million. Something is clearly wrong with the world.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
Yesterday i made the choice of moving my 50 from libery to freedom, to the 'dreaded' PI. (actualy it was PI, PI2 and PI3).
Based on what i saw on broadcast (LFF mostly), there is your goldmine.
Specialy with the 'turn exp off', 2 accounts and some topslotted toon (be it troller, be it whatever), i think you can make quite alot of money.

I've yet to have a character cost me over 1 billion influence to IO out, though there were a few ("full purple" builds with 5x LOTG procs) that have come very close. Blueside though, Redside market is a bit wacko.
Sticking up a bid for the recipes and farming the salvage while you wait tends to work out cheapest. At present going for level 50 missions (for extra recipes and the chance of a purple drop) using Ouroboros arcs (for merits and the end-of-mission bonuses - "chance for a recipe"/"chance for salvage" dayjob buffs) seems to be best.

So the 4 purple damage sets for a scrapper would set you back roughly how much? Just looking to do it on my Claw/WP and currently have 1.2 bil in the back

Last I looked, it was roughly 40-60 million per "damage" purple recipe, plus around 10 million to craft it (for rare salvage and crafting cost). The pure damage IO and Proc recipes seemed to be slightly cheaper than the recipes for the multi-aspect IOs (DAM cheaper than DAM/RECH).
It goes without saying that if you're after purples, farm your funds on level 50 foes, 'cause you might get lucky and snag a recipe that you're actually looking for (has happened to me at least twice). If nothing else, you'll save yourself several million worth of listing fees.

I'm pretty sure it's hard-capped at 2 billion (ie, one character can't hold more than that)
Unless they've raised it in the last six months and not told anyone.
Capped or no, there is no need to hold that amount at any one time. I have just priced the amount i will need to complete the build I want, I'll end up buying as I save anyhow.
I am now however being more careful with my selling.. Any names recipe is now going into the AH, where as i would vendor anything that wasn't purple before.
I still Vendor all recipes that are not invention type, and all salvage that is not recognized at a value of 5000 get given to the store aswell.
Consciousness: that annoying time between naps.

IO Set Recipes should always be sold in WW IMO, even if you're listing them for 5 inf. Helps your fellow shoppers out and means more supply for everyone.
Yea, I was thinking about this last night...
I get recipes, and sell on ww.
But I buy enchantments already crafted, cba to buy salvage and create them, usually works out the same price anyway.

Well why people bother to deal with WW if they can sell it to the any store with a higher value? Rare lvl 50 recipes go for (not procs or damage sets) 500 inf so tell me why should i bother to sell it on WW. My real trouble is they are keeping my slots in WW busy so i sell all the IO set recipes to the stores other than non-set ones, as they sold in a minute. For finding that recipes when i need them, well there is Merit Vendors all around and as i usually use easy to find sets a couple of TFs means i can usually get all the recipes i need. (No i am not farming TFs, just don't rushing, in time i get the merits i need)

You don't see the self-defeating problem with this?
It's not like Invention Set IOs even get a good price in stores, usually less than 10k.
i'm baffled if people are really that tight. 10k. It's not even worth the run to the store really once you're any half-way decent level.
I know I'd much rather be able to pick up something like a Hold or Stun set for Frankenslotting cheap in Wentworths and save any merits I do earn for random rolls (or saving up for a top tier IO you can't get on WW for any half-way sane price).
I rather buy pool a recipies than waste merits on them
A market with supply is a healthy market.

Though if you have the slots spare it does give you the response to anti-farming posters that you are actually helping the market by bringing set recipes to the consignment house. Is the satisfaction of being able to demonstrate that farming is good for the market worth 1 million INF?
Heck - most set recipes I don't need I'll stick on at 1INF and if it's not sold when I later need the slot then I'll grab it back and sell at the shops. Costs me very little to do that, but could easily help some poor devil who's been trying to get the recipe for ages.

This is what I do.
I don't really care what I get for things. The way I see it is I want it sold, mabey someone out there needs it more than I do and it earns progress towards Shiny new badges. So I pop just about everything on there for 100 inf n watch it get snapped up. Apart from insps which I pop on at 1 inf each and the one Hami-o I sold. I knew it'd be worth alot so I only put it on for 1mill and ended up getting 20mill for it. Bonus!
Guess it helps not being greedy huh?

At the very least it means you won't come to the forums giving out because you Must Have 2 Billion for your epic build
All sounds a bit too close to working for my liking. I'm lazy, at the end of a play session I go to Wents, dump everything I don't want, usually with a listing price of 5 inf unless it's an oddball case (say a half-decent IO at a strange level which I'm pretty sure should have a fair price of 5000 on it, a level 30 something Acc/Damage or something) and then start looking at a few non-top tier set IOs to plonk in for frankenslotting things. Stick reasonable bids in for em and their salvage and log off.

Tried that, and am running out of AH slots. 
Even recipes I would have expected to get a good price for (high 30s Acc/Dam/Rchg, admittedly on a Snipe set, Heal/End, etc...) only seem to go for a few hundred and even then there are often 10+ unsold items and no bids.
Oh if they hang about a bit take em to the vendors. Actually half the time I just delete em if they've been hanging around too long. That being the Lazy gene kicking in again.
If you need the slots then bin em. But if the slots aren't needed may as well leave them up for 5 inf a pop.
You're underestimating what a tightwad I am - even if it's a toon with 10s of millions of inf, and the reserve price for an item was a measly 1k, I'm still reluctant to withdraw that item and irrevocably lose (gone, for good! gone!) the 50 inf fees.
So I'll grind my teeth and keep it on there, because I could make an entire 900 inf if it sells! (Never mind that there's currently 53 unsold recipes of the same type in the AH window, no bids, and the last 5 sales were for 10 inf each - I could still make 900 inf, dammit...)
Although the recent sale-prices might be off sometimes, specialy on the 'really who needs this stupid recipe' recipes. I use them to easy transfer money to my other accounts (oversea).
(just look at the lvl5 TO's, 5mil for a fear one?

Whilst I am pretty lazy at marketeering, when i do it, I will not tend to sell anything when the number of current bidders is vastly outnumbered by the number of current sellers. I see no ethical issue with this. If there is a shortage of sellers and prices tend to be a little low, I will probably still sell but try and hold out for a slightly better price. If there are more sellers than buyers and the prices are for some reason high, I will simply undercut.
That said, my advice is worth fairly little as i don't play this game just to collect a virtual currency!
