I think there should be some more value to crafted items in the marketplace
For example, as a beginning blacksmith, I can craft Sharp Arrows at L2 and sell them in the marketplace for 700. Not a bad way to get some cash if I want to skip the AH.
However, at L3, I can make a Military Scythe. It has a 0 gold value if I just sell it on the marketplace. Auctions end up being around 300. I don't know the levels of prices for further items up the skill tree.
I would think that crafted items should go for about the same value as an equivalent item on the marketplace, rather than only being worth anything on the AH. This might help with the AH somewhat, because a lot of those lower crafting items are heavily offered at inconsistent prices. Just look at Leather Jerkins.
