While the high end items are expensive, I find the low end items to have dropped in price. Most items at the low end only have any value at all because people find no reason to farm them anymore. Also I find people are more generous the more plat is floating around.
The key is that once an item's value is low enough, there is no reason to sit in EC and try to sell them. Even selling on the forums takes more time to set up a time to meet with the other person and log on a mule just to sell a 25pp item, you might as well vendor it and kill a hill giant or wisp in wc for the same profit. The likely hood of running into someone in a random zone who both wants to buy the item you have and has the plat on him to afford it is equally small. Some things you still see bought/sold commonly in niche areas (CB belts/pads around Kelethin) but that is because the market exists for those specific items.
Is there a specific item you are talking about? The only najena items that i see people looking for are the mage focus items, and those seem really rare, so the price tag makes sense. The only befallen loot I can honestly say I've seen posted for sale has definitely been in the 10-50pp range, unless you are talking about the very rare rings for paw of opolla. best of luck
edit: and yeah, what has been said and what bob said is right on. farm the early stuff and level up. have fun with it. asking for donations is slightly annoying, but if you ask a higher level how they got started, many on this server would probably share a story about where to hunt for the gear you want and at what level to consider hunting it based on your class.
