I am wondering what prices materials sell for on average so that I know I am not getting ripped off. I am fairly new to the game still, but have acquired many materials and am in need of some crowns by selling them. please help me in knowing fair prices.
Materials prices per star??

It's really only the most
It's really only the most inexperienced merchants out there that cling to a pricing system based on nothing but the star rating of an item. It's an inconsistent and inaccurate way to value both materials and equipment, as star rating has little to do with actual usefulness, rarity, and public demand.
Near as I can tell, this practice seems to have originated from the same one or two threads in the earliest life of the game in which people were trying to hammer out some sort of material price consistency, and everyone and their dog has seen it. The more we can do to steer people away from believing the formula " STAR# = X Cost," the better!
In terms of premades, star rating means little else than the direct crown and CE cost for crafting it. The actual "value" of the item will depend on the materials that went into it, THEIR value, and just how coveted the item is by the public. Implementing a lazy "1-star, this price, 2-star that price" pricing structure will result in a lot of your stuff not moving because it's overvalued, and a lot of your stuff not giving you the profit it should.
I mean, taking into account UVs alone completely throws it out of whack, you know?
there is no "per star" price. It depends upon the popularity of the material. For instance 5* materials can be worthless or worth up to 20k depending on if its a royal core or a sun silver. You just have to learn the prices. Also this is the wrong section.
