On Barthilas (as you can see from the screencapture) the less desirable Prisms, Chaos and Undeath decks sell about the 700g mark. The trinkets produced by these decks sell at half that price: 300g. So, yes, perhaps some of the cost can be regained. But it's definitely not profitable on Barthilas. And yes, Barthilas is an Oceanic PVP server. Thanks for the spreadsheet.

So, might want to look into that. However, if you do decide to go after decks. I've got something juicy for you: http://www.wowhead.com/npc=23029 4 spawn every 7 minutes and 30 seconds. They have somewhere around 20-30k hp. They 100% drop between 2-5 motes of life. This means per every ~8 minutes you should be making 1-2 eternal life. On top of that, each herbalism of the corpse always drops 2 sets of between 3-5 herbs or so. This should net lots of herbs, because the Ancient Lichen and Mana Thistle have 2x the drop rate of the uncommon ink needed. (Per 20 Felweed you should gain on average 1 Darkflame Ink, per 20 Ancient Lichen you should gain 2). An Outlands Alchemist can transmute Primal Life. So, might want to look into that.

I guess I actually don't know much of your realm (also, are you Oceanic? I kind of gleaned you were from someone else' blog). If I can, I'd say hold on to them for a few weeks though. During Darkmoon Faire and the first week after, a lot of people unload. But if you wait till weeks 2-3 and the run-up to the Faire, there are shorter/non-existent supplies and it's the best time to sell. Trinkets definitely sell.

PBDs on Dragonblight are now consistently selling for 500g. Luckily for me, my guild has a constant influx of transfers. I've been offering transfers gold for all PBDs they bring me from their servers. This is pretty win/win on both sides since they have a gold cap and I buy at a flat price of 200g from them, which is usually profitable for the transfers. As far as decks go, I think it's really important to take both the incoming gold cost and outgoing gold gain into perspective too. For example, rough numbers, but here on Dragonblight I can absolutely sell a Darkmoon Card: Death for 700-800g. Which means if I buy the deck for 600g I am actually making 200g profit. On the otherhand, Darkmoon Card: Berserker sells for a paltry 100g. This is my personal spreadsheet/reference guide I made: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AsJnbpfk9noKdGpHSjJqTUlua1hGU2puWkxmZnBNaUE&hl=en#gid=0 (P.S. if someone would like a "copy" for their own personal use, we can work something out, I can just copy my format and give it away).

After reading this I feel bad, that's like 50k just from this one item... I vow to give all future PBD's I find for free along with backrubs and a shoulder to cry on.

My Alchemist is my Mage who is stuck in Outlands at the moment. Frozen Orbs tend to be more expensive on Barthilas but I'm checking them too. I can pick up Eternal Life for about 3-5g less most days.

I do plan to start handing them in earlier rather than later, in the hopes that the trinkets will sell. My scribe is max level. And I farmed those trees. Too much competition :( AND too time consuming I was slaughtered by a couple Horde too. I bid on everything!

That's why I included it in my post. Perhaps it's only from the last section/higher level mobs? I haven’t gotten any Pristines from BRD but I’ve seen multiple comments from players who have.
