What's the best way to find specific level IO's?

Merits do allow direct purchase by level but I think it costs 200 merits so it's not the best choice.
If you are in no hurry WWs is still best, just bid lower and wait.
Lower level stuff is rarer because:
1. people level fast
2. AE people tend to hold tickets before rolling so lower level ones are not generated as often
If you want pool A drops using Ouroboros can be helpful to go down to the level you want.
Also you can post your list of what you want here and see if some one has some or all of it to sell you.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
The market's been pretty hollowed out in general since merits were introduced, and the AE system has made it more dramatically so.
At one point I accidentally did an experiment (it was supposed to be "made some profit..." ) and it looks like there's about as much activity at level 50 of a "Rare recipe" as there is in levels 30-49 combined.

So you think you're a hero, huh.
@Boltcutter in game.
Since I have a 50 def that doesn't need a lot of sets or an expensive build, I thought I would spend my cash on a new character, and not just a level 50 build, but twink from level 30 and up since he won't be AE farming...
Now, I'm missing a few IO's I need, but I'm not overly concerned about that, as I have most of them for level 30. I wanted to rebuild at 35 and 40 though (I know a few % usually doesn't make much difference, but I also have to fill out the newly installed slots, and what else am I going to do with the money? I'll wait till I get 50 and purple him out.
In the meantime, I tried ticket rolls, but for 30-50 recipies, I just end up with a level 50 one, not what I want. If I hunt/fight, I end up with 50's.
Is it easier to get what you want at the right level with merits?
WW's is where I got most of mine, but I found myself paying top dollar for some just to "Snag the last one", others I had to get at 31-34 instead of 30 which is ok, but level 35 - 45 options are even more limited in what is available on WW's. I didn't have enough slots to bid for everything I wanted, but I did fill out my market slots on 2 chars.
Is there a better way? Are the low level, high end recipies allways in such short supply? I'm not talking about LOTG short supply where there always seems to be stock for those willing to pay, I'm talking about 10-40 bidding, 0-1 for sale.
Any suggestions?
