The tradeable BiS items definitely aren't worth the money for the gains and really the planar drops are free and excellent - especially Carmine Sleeves, Al Kabor Cap, Carmine Legs, and Cryosilk Sash. Need levels for that though :-)
With a 29 Wiz as a main there's no way you can make the 7k required for Jboots MQ in a reasonable amount of time. Your level 29 ports are virtually useless to sell for plat, and at 34 your closest portal to EC is Nek (which really isn't awful but not that great) You get Common and Nro portals at 39. With SoW potions you spend a fraction of the money and move your XP bar every time you take a sip to quad. The time it would take to make enough money off ports in your 30s to buy Jboots is better spent actually getting XP.
Having said that, Jboots are essential and your best bet is to pop into Sro when it turns nighttime and see if you get lucky. That's how I got my jboots. Also, the trickle of plat you will get from ports will be plenty to fund your SoW potions.
It is not worth it to sit around and port to save for jboots instead of sipping SoW pots and moving the bar. You will eventually get an AC spawn, and you don't have any gear to buy. Levels are far more important than anything, and you want to be moving the bar as much as possible.
