Theoretical Math

So, I had some good luck with Merit Rolls this weekend, and ened up with two Miracle: +Recovery recipies, one lvl 32 and one 34. The alt could definitely use one, so I plan on slotting one and selling the other- that's where the Theoretical Math comes in:
The lvl 32 has a last 5 of around 60Mil, and the 34 about 100Mil. However, both sell for around 150Mil crafted.
So my question is, which one causes me to 'lose' more if I slot it? If I slot the 32, am I 'saving' 40Mil over slotting the 34, or am I 'losing' more because my profit margin on it would be higher?

In this case I think you can ignore the last 5 sales, especially if there aren't any for sale. I'd check to see how many are for sale at any level below 50 (you can click the "see for sale only" button to do this quickly). Unless there are a LOT for sale at lower levels, which I'm pretty sure there aren't (at work atm so I can't verify), I'd just list it for... say... 120 million. Or at least something over 100 million.

It will take longer to sell than a level 50, but scarcity means people that WANT to slot at lower levels will meet your price eventually.

And in that case I don't think it matters which one you use.

As Organica said pricewise they should be worth about the same. I'd say sell the level 32. There is (theoretically) slightly more demand for it since it can be slotted two levels earlier and someone making an exemplar friendly build who wants the Miracle set bonuses would prefer it since it works down to level 30 (remember, most TFs and storylines have a max level that's a multiple of 5 so exemplar friendly builds normally aim for one of those).

The two are close enough in level that the 'value' is essentially the same. Sales volume is low enough that the last 5 prices have a high degree of randomness.
i.e. There's no real difference between the two.

Even if they had the same price, both are functionally the same assuming you can slot them right now, and as you got them for free you wouldn't "lose" anything by selling either.

Honestly, I was just looking for some theoretical, or perhaps philosophical discussion- I've already crafted both and sold the lvl 34.
My actual decision being, since my goal was to craft one, the non-crafted price was irrelevant.
