Also, try leveling in spots where there's more vendor drops than lore / EC tunnel items. I love me some NG still to this day simply because of all the 0.1 wt gems that vendor for up to 200 plat a piece.
This. If you choose to ignore my previous advice about leveling vs. earning loot (and earning loot is fun, so I wouldn't blame you if you did) I highly recommend the Treasure Hunting Guide on the wiki (link in my signature).

It lists all of the vendor-loot spots (like NG), separately from all of the item-loot spots.

Supply and Demand. Nobody wants low end gear. Sell what sells and vendor what doesn’t.

Oh, heh, the fact that you said you were selling low value items made me think you were lower level. In that case by all means please ignore my "lowbies wasting effort on loot" spiel [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Instead, I think the solution is simple: go for higher value item camps that sell easier (or else go for the rare high level cash camp like NG)! I know Howling Stones is very popular among Necros for exactly that, and the treasure hunting guide has other ideas too.

As others said: http://ahungry.com/eqauctions-live

And a forum post.

The forum post in particular is afk selling. People either contact you or they don't -- it takes you 30 seconds to bump your post.

If you want to sell in EC but don't want to spend time in EC, then you need to sell at a huge discount or just get lucky with having a buyer there and paying attention the moment you spam your auction.

Good advice in this thread. Thanks all. Will focus on higher ticket items with known demand in the future and a forum post. =)

Lower prices. Undercut hard.

Focus on the high value items. Most of the stuff from HS, for example, never sells or if it does, for 50-100pp.

Oh, I thought HS, or at least the West and South wings (with Rapier of Oriin, Sash of the Dragonborn, etc.) were pretty decent. I've never actually done HS for loot myself though, I just heard good things.

The “Good” drops in West are rare or ultra-rare drops off the boss in the back room. They aren’t exactly easy to farm solo (though far from impossible). The big ticket drops in South are easier to farm because there is a specific spot most of the farmers work in that only exposes you to 4-5 mobs every respawn, with a safe spot nearby. There is also a bigger variety of drops (Sash, Bloodpoint, and Fingerbone Hoop being the big 3 that sell for good plat out of South, as I recall).

Those things do, but you get a fair few trashy drops in there. I think it was (like most things) better years ago.
