The secret to my success with enchantrix:
/enchantrix percentless 20
Sure, 50 is fine when you are starting up, but after a short while, you can afford to buy out all the 50's, and the 40's. When you can clear all of those out, and examine everything meeting the 20% profit margin, you can start really making money. This is where you will find a decent amount of higher level items. Remember, 20% of 5g is more than 50% of 25s.
And you've also got to think of where all the profit is. Everyone knows that you tend to lose a little on dusts. And dusts typically are the common DE of armors, whereas essences are the common DE of weapons, and uncommon DE of armor. If you find yourself with only enough money for a few items, buy the weapons, they are more likely to provide you with essences. Another thing to consider is how much of a profit you would be making from the armors if you were to get the uncommon DE (essences). I find that I make some of my more comfortable profits buying armors that DE into illusion dust/greater eternal essences. The illusion dust is usually a small loss, or breaking even with the initial purchase, so the profit is basically all in the essences. In many of the cases i've seen, the number of essences is listed as 1.5 or 2.5, which is what you should be looking for. The armors I am thinking of list these products as occuring about 20% of the time, or 1 in 5 attempts. What you should hope to see are these numbers being rounded up (2 or 3 essences) because these spell higher profits. Otherwise, you are probably a lot closer to having broken even. And honestly, who ever heard of a "break-even quick" scheme?
And finally to selling your products. Although I'm sure many of you have found this out by now, there are a few factors to consider when putting up your dusts and essences. Single, or stack? Lesser, or greater? With dusts, my rule of thumb is to put up singles if the stack is considerably more expensive than 5 or 6g. Like on my server, illusion dust is around 1g per single. At the end of the day, i dont usually have a stack of these, and i dont know if anyone would drop 20g at once if i did. I dont have too much of a problem selling the rest of my dusts in stacks, though at one point i experimented in putting up dream dust in stacks of 4. Cant remember why i did that, but i put them up in stacks of 20 now. Essences are somewhat tricky. First thing is first, I find out which sells for more, one greater, or three lessers. Then i figure out which sells better. I prefer selling the more expensive form, but not if it takes me a week longer to sell it. The same price guidelines i used to break up dust stacks applies here. That's about it for my experiences with this method of money conjuring, so I guess i should wrap this up.

So in summary, that is how I not only found the alliance markets of Garona to be incredibly hostile to this practice, but I also contracted Feline AIDS through the use of auctioneer with enchantrix. Yep, and i'm certain that anybody attempting to horn in on this imaginary profit lode will likely come to the same conclusion, and affliction.
