Have you seen the range on a FBSS? Throughout the day they range from 7k to 9k, easily. Someone auctioning it 'has to go 7k' is going to take less. That's just the mentality of someone who needs pp now.

That's just 1 data point. There's tons more. Jade Maces can be bought for 1k and sold for 1500. Idol of the Thorned can be had for 4k and sold for 5k. RBG could probably be bought for 35k and sold for 42k.

What you want to avoid are the really big ticket items - items that only a handful of people can afford when there are options that are 'nearly' as good for much, much cheaper. CoF is a great example. Great item, but 75k is rough for a lot of people, especially when FBSS + chanter buffs caps haste on newbie chars. You can flip it, but you're holding up a ton of money on one item. These items are also more susceptible to drop. Only invest in these if you have a ton of money and can wait for the market to turn around.

So, if you're really looking to save up for something in particular, I'd suggest just bumming it in the tunnel.
This is the reason I never sell or buy anything in EC. You gotta put up with this crap for hours on end.
