Can Someone Explain to Me What the Difference is Between APS, DPS, pDPS, and eDPS?

As the title said, I really have no clue what those things mean and what the difference is between them :s

I'm trying to price check myself using PoE Trade, but I kind of ran into this problem...

Here is ONE of the items I wish to sell (Don't take it as I'm trying to price check!):



How would I use the search function (like the APS, DPS, etc...) to find similar results?

Thanks to anyone who can help me! (:
APS = attacks per second (in the case of that staff, 1.00)
DPS = damage per second (when people talk about weapon DPS, all they mean is (min damage + max damage)/2 * APS, ignoring crit and so forth. So here (193 + 538)/2 * 1 = 365.50
eDPS = elemental damage per second (your weapon has no flat ele mods, so 0)
pDPS = physical damage per second (as above)
Have you done something awesome with [url=http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Sire_of_Shards]Sire of Shards[/url]? PM me and tell me all about it!
Wow, you make it seems so simple! Thank you very much :D
You'll have a hard time selling anything half-decent in standard.

The only items that sell in sc are good items (very cheap) and incredibly good items (very expensive!)

I recommend checking poemods.com to see how your staff compares to the top mods. An item can have 3 prefixes and 3 suffixes max and if it's missing a suffix or prefix it can be crafted using master crafting.

In your case it has spell + phys dmg nodes, not very useful but just in case someone would find a use for it:

Prefix:
Local Min Added Physical Dmg / Local Max Added Physical Dmg
Spell Dmg +% / Base Max Mana
Local Physical Dmg +%

Suffix:
Base Chaos Dmg Resistance %

I usually just price it low to get rid of it faster xD

I will just leave it in my shop and maybe I will use it later on!
Edited my prev post.
For eDPS it's ((min Fire + min Cold + min Light + max Fire + max Cold + max Light) / 2) * APS right?

I always calculate crit into my DPS, why should someone let it out?
