That's a monster find. I think it'll sell well over 200+ mil might be able to get 300+
So...
I kinda just found the IK chest armor from a regular mob. It has 797 Armor, 175 Strength (base), 3 sockets (of course, I think they always get 3), 222 Vitality, +76 All Res... and man it kicks some serious ass. My previous armor had no res at all, although it had very similar stats (Archon armor, 3 sockets too, similar Str and Vit, but no Res). I also tanked a uber run at MP7 with it. It was the Turmoil portal I think, the one with the siege beast (from Act 3). I isolated the beast alone and tanked it non-stop (the others dps'ed the heck out of Khule), he barely scratched me, and I don't even have any LoH (absolutely zero of it) only Life Regen (around 2.2K Life Regen per second or so).
Slowly, but surely, my Barb is getting where I want him to be (mixture between dps and tanking). Now I need some extra Attack Speed... not sure which items to sacrifice and replace to add that stat amongst the stuff I have. I might go with that Twitching Hour belt I think is the name, with some IAS on it. If not then maybe a new Ring (or two) with it. But anyway, very happy about the IK find. That, and also if I could find a Sky Splitter with a socket for extra Crit Hit Damage it'd help my dps when switching to a tank build (not much can hurt me, but my dps goes down the drain when I do that).
I don't have trouble selling stuff.
Recently sold a Int Skorn. Started at 35mil didn't sell for 2 attempts listed at same price~ so I listed it for 32mil and sold within 12 hours.
You don't have to price everything ridiculously low. If it doesn't sell on GAH, try listing it at RMAH. That's what I do. There are certain items i know that will sell on RMAH that I know will not sell on GAH.
making .25 - 1.00 per transaction on RMAH adds up and vice versa.
you're not really comparing selling legendaries to mediocre rares are you?...
But that's a good idea. I'll toss some stuff on RMAH and see what sells.
I'd love to sell on the RMAH if only because I get 10 more slots. Doesn't blizzard take off $1 for every transaction though, so you can't sell stuff for say $0.5?
And the people who are looking for end game items have hundreds of millions of gold. There is a reason you don't see 1400 dps Manticores with 2 sockets and 100 crit damage. Because the "value" is above the maximum gold you are allowed to sell and item for. I am surprised that Mempo sold Imp. Andi's Visage is the budget version of that helmet. You can get better low end stats for cheaper.
The AH, at least for endgame, isn't just about what stats a rare has, it has to do with if there is an item or a set piece that can give better utility because of an always on stat.
Something I was wondering, is there a reason why gold sellers are still spamming general? Can they really undercut the cost of gold on the AH? I've never really looked at the RMAH, so I don't know the current cost of in-game gold. I'm just surprised that the gold sellers are still around even when you can buy it directly from the RMAH.
It doesn't seem like Blizz is doing anything about them either. They spam, then everyone reports, then the next time you log in the same account spams again. I've seen 4 or 5 different accounts spamming over the course of the last 6 weeks. I assume this is because it's the way that WoW works, where you report spamming and it only ignores them on your account until you log off, then back on.
I thought about getting a Mempo over the Andy's (I already had one, but with no socket) except Mempo doesn't have the extra attack speed, and I use a Manticore, so every last bit is useful.
One more thing to say about the AH and selling stuff: luck factors in too. By luck, I mean a buyer who just came up with the idea that he needed an item with your item's stats, and he searched or saw it on the AH during that 24 hour window you put it on. Even a shit item will sell for stupid if someone wants to make an impulse buy.
I get spammed one or two "Friend" requests by those spammers daily. I gave up on denying their request and reporting them because it never stops. And the fuckers spam the chat channel too non-stop. Either blizz isn't doing anything, or it must be profitable enough to have $50 CD keys banned.
And I'm actually starting to use my gold to upgrade my DH more. Since the RMAH started, I've probably sold 200 million worth of gold or 95% of everything I made. Still kicking myself for drunkingly losing 20 million gold from dropping or selling my 3-socket chest piece somewhere filled with <second best> emeralds.
that would be silly.
Hey, I sold 10 things and now I owe blizzard $9! yay!
I got this wiz source drop. Luckily it has the grants arcane power on crit or it would of been nearly worthless. A nice ~225 avg damage too.
Mempo does have the attack speed. That is why Andy's is the poor mans Mempo.
I found some Lacuni's last night. I wish they were better than my current bracers, but they aren't. No crit hit, ~90 str, dex, and 100 vit. Hoping I can get around 14mil for them. Anyone want?
That's pretty nice. Gratz. How much do you think it's worth?
I saw this on blizz forums:

Granted that one has higher avg dmg and 1% more Chance to Crit, but I'm sure yours would be worth quite a bit as well.
I put it up for 220m, 50m starting bid.
I think he meant crit. Mempo doesn't always have crit though.
True. 6 crit Mempos are super expensive. =(

I don't remember, but either AS or Crit missing was a huge red flag for me. Or it was because crit and AS made them stupidly expensive... in the 100 million range, IIRC.
It's funny that my rare bracers are the hardest to replace. If it weren't for crit being so expensive on Lacuni's, I'd want it for the extra movement speed. My craptastic rare bracers with only 130-ish dex, 60 dex, and 6 yards gold pick-up have been with me forever.
Next buy is probably new boots. Funny thing is that my rare boots are roughly as good as the more common unique/set boots with 50 all res, 120 dex and 60-ish vit. Paying a few million would get me 200-ish dex probably.

My bracers are like 80 str, 100 vit, 80 all res and 5.5 crit. I can't replace them without tons of gold. I would save on boots though. Get a pair of Ice Climbers if you're not a dex user. Otherwise get Nat's boots. The 2 piece bonus is stupid good on Nat's. 7% crit is amazing.
I had bracers that were rares, 130 dex, 70 vit, ~110 AR (monk OWE), 6% CC, and pickup radius (I can't stress how useful this stat is), and dropped it for a Lacuni's with the same dex, no vit, no CC, no pickup radius all for the movement speed.
Capping movement speed > just about everything else once you've hit a certain level of playstyle.
And good luck getting the 2 piece for Natalya's. That's been in my final build since the set emerged, and I still don't have my 2 pieces. >.> Then again, I won't just buy any old pieces. I'm sort of at that point where I have standards.
