You can also save up bone chips, spider and spiderling silk. But IMO those don't really sell that quickly and TBH most people only buy them to help out low level players and not because they actually need them. Personally I don't find it's worth the time to try and sell them but that's just my play style I suppose.

Try selling Bone Chips in Gfay / Butcherblock. There's a quest in Kaladim that takes Bone Chips for faction and good xp into the teens. People will buy them up by the Backpack-full for xp-ing out any new characters they make. I usually sell my bone chips within a minute or two of my first /auc outside the Kelethin bank. Having a full backpack or more (with a slight discount for buying the whole lot) helps them sell faster.

Spider Silk is more likely to sell in EC where you have a better chance of finding a tradeskiller, although they can be harder to sell as Spider Silk can be pretty easy for a high-level to farm in large quantities in a short amount of time.

Something else that newbies often miss for cash is Leather Padding. Buy a skinning knife from a Blacksmith (around 5-15pp). As you hunt Bears/Cats/Wolves collect every pelt you can and don't vendor any except the ruined ones. Use the skinning knife in a tailoring kit with the pelt to reduce it to Low Quality (don't do this to High Quality Bear Pelts, as those are used to make Tailored Backpacks and are worth a good amount of coin), combine Spiderling Silk to make thread, then combine thread and the LQ pelt to make (stackable!) padding. You can sell these for pretty good cash, usually about 5-10pp each (100-200pp for a stack).

Look up EVERYTHING that drops from whatever you are hunting on the Wiki. A lot of items have more uses than you may expect, and there's always someone who will spend money so they don't have to spend time collecting.
