Hi
I have a bunch of items like profession resources, Iron Lockboxes and refinement items but I have no clue which price they go for? I see many different prices and I don't know which price to pick to get a sale.

What level you post items at depends on how fast you want to sell vs how much AD you want to make.
But I do believe someone is trying to raise this price by setting a crazy buyout prices like 100.000.000 AD. I do not know if the system uses the buyout price to calculates recommended sale price or the price for which the items is sold (above is suggested that it is the sold item price).
For some more expensive items, check what sale price other people has set as buyout price. You might go a little lower if you want to sell quick or higher, if a single person has set a very low price.
Other than that, you will just have to wait and see what price the thing you put up for sale is sold for. But this is a time consuming task.
Do you happen to remember where you came across that information? Because if so I should really start to pay more attention to the recommended prices...
When dealing with stackable items, the game does the math on a per unit basis, so 9 of something with a buyout of 100 will appear ahead of a stack of 5 of that item with a buyout of 60. Just something to remember.
If there are none of the particular item that I have on the AH, then I will just search for items of the same level and quality that go in that same gear slot.
And I always suggest a buyout. I think that most players would rather pay a reasonable cost and get the item now than wait for up to 5 days for the auction to end.
Now, when you are looking to buy, then I suggest looking at items first in terms of buyout to get an idea of what you can get the item for as low as, and then look at auctions in order of ending first to see which items you might be able to bid less than that buyout on and still get the item in a reasonable time.
No, actually the recommended price is the Average Last sale price. it has nothing to do with buyout.

I wondered about this too until I read a post by a player who said they were doing this because they always hit the daily refine limit and had a huge unrefined AD backlog so selling via the AH gave them refined AD.
The crazy prices aren't an attempt to manipulate the market........how do you think the Third Party Farmers buy/sell their AD?
For higher value items I'm not bothered about squeezing out every AD possible - I want stuff sold.
In this scenario my prices are guided more by the existing offers and a look at the recommended price. If things are offered lower than I'd accept and much lower than recommended then I wait. If things are much higher than recommended I set it accordingly. But I repeat I want stuff sold. Most of my sales go on buyout though so maybe this helps create a sense of urgency in buyers.
I want value for my item but it has no value in my inventory.
Sometimes you may not find the exact item, but it may be close enough and in other cases the very same item can be found more cheaply than what people post it for.
I was able, at one time, to walk to the AD vendor, buy a bunch of lesser marks of potency, and then sell them on the AH for a profit simply because people were in too big a hurry to read.
And, unless it's an emergency, see how much stuff usable at a slightly higher level costs, too.
If you absolutely, positively think that you need a weapon then buy away, but if what you want costs $$$ at level X, but a similar item that requires level Y only costs $, then maybe it's worth stretching another level or two out of what you have.
And who knows? Maybe you'll even find a lucky drop between now and then.
Personally when I see an item with less than 4 days remaining it makes me think that the item is overpriced at that level as opposed to someone choosing to list at 1 day or 3 days.
