I'm trying to make my way as a crafter, creating items and selling them, however, I'm being severally undercut in the AH...

With CE costs up to 6k for 100CE, that means that the CE cost of crafting a 2 star item is 3000 crowns... That's not including the 400 crowns for crafting, mats and a mark up so I actually make a profit. Yet I check the market place and people are selling 2 star items for 2500 crowns. How is that even possible without putting yourself at least 1k crowns in the hole with each item you sell?

It makes no sense. I can't craft items and sell them, because my prices (Which should be the norm) are considered too expensive. What's going on here?

Curious how you're selling

Curious how you're selling crafted items?

I know at least from experience that I picked up a cyrotech not too long ago and just sold it for about 2300cr. No loss on my end.

Its simple, all that lowball

Its simple, all that lowball comes from people that masscraft for UVs. At this stage you'll earn WAY more crowns on selling materials so move on.

Some people only sign on to

Some people only sign on to craft using Mist Energy. I guess they don't need to account for 3k crowns. :)

forgetting something?

One thing that is left out of the equation is the fact that people can take the following steps:

1) Have 100 mist energy
2) Craft two 2* items
3) ???
4) Profit
