What is the best deal you've gotten from the AH? Also, if you decided to resell it on the AH, how much did you sell it for? (What profit did you get?)
An example of my own:
Heavy Flower
Bought for 2,500 crowns
Sold for 50,000 crowns
Profit of 47,500
Best Deal From the AH
I bought an Iron Lockbox a while back for 3k. And then I met someone who was willing to buy it for 150 ce. Best deal for a lockbox.
I do believe lockboxes were 2k at once time, and flooded the ah.
My best would be either a 5* ore of some sort for 100-300cr when they were over 1k each. Or the voltaic tempest for under basil price. Before missions, that is.
I saw 3* vortex with med ctr for like 18k but someone was faster than me. I almost threw my mouse at the Buy Now button.
But what i usually do is buy low star items for like 200cr, only to NPC-vendor them at 300cr.
Military Classic Wings, 200k CR -> 45k CE
Prismatic Gloweyes 10k CR -> 400k CR
Dusky Vertivents 10k CR
Extra Short Modifier, 100k CR and 300k CR
ASI VH Snarble Barb 1 mill
ASI VH Swift Flourish 1.6 mill ---> 26k CE
Dusky Round Shades 500 CR

i got a military helm-mounted display for 5k cr.
the next cheapest one was 15k cr.
Best purchases:
Shadowtech alch asi high for 30k cr.
One in the AH with an asi med is at a 78k bid right now.
Nightblade ctr med for 33k.
I never really had any good deals on the Auction House that I remember. I think it is because I don't use it since of limited of selection of things that are worthwhile. Let alone have to be bought from the auction house.
I bought a Freezing Vaporizer CTR Med for somewhere between 60k and 80k cr. I think it was 60k, but I can’t remember. All the other CTR Med Vaporizers I had thrown crowns at ended up closing 2-3 times higher than that. So it felt like an amazing deal when I bought it.
I bought a Wolver Coat (or was it Cap, don't remember) with Sleep MAX for 3k cr. This was at the time when Sleep was still available through crafts. It was an open auction (no buy-now available), and 3k was the starting bid. Nobody else was interested, because you know, Sleep is quite useless in practice. At the time there was only one enemy that had Sleep attack, and it was VERY rare. Now they've removed even that.
Then I hold onto it like six months or so, during that time they removed Sleep from new UVs. Finally, I sold it for 10k ce, for a collector. I wonder how much it would be worth now? The amount of rich players has increased, and collector items are hard to get nowadays...
edit, just to recap:
Bought for - 3k cr
Sold for - 10k ce (which was about 700k cr at the time...?)
Profit - 697k
Bought a static edge for 1 cr no kidding
Sold for 2999 no kidding

The best deal I've seen on the AH was an ASI VH Troika for 150k.
Personally... sold a VT recipe for 50k
