When trying to sell an item in the AH, the surest way to get a great price on it is to have scarcity. Be the only one or one of a few. Unfortunately, crafted items (and in this case I'm counting enchanting mats as a crafted item) are prone to flooding. What many people don't know is that there is a way to help prevent this with Auctioneer Advance.
While at the AH, open up the Appraiser tab. Underneath the sliders for the stack size and number of stacks, there's a checkbox labeled "Only". That's it. Select the number of stacks you want and Auctioneer will ensure that you only have that many stacks available for sale at any given time. If it's something you post regularly this will let you keep a minimum amount of fresh stock.
If you check the AH a few times a day you may consider setting this lower to keep the appearance of there being only a small supply available, encouraging people to buy now. In the event somebody else floods the market with that item, it also helps reduce the lose associated with not getting your deposit back.
Thanks for stopping by! I'm going to try and update several times a week with either AH or RP as the topic of the day.
