Need advice in Buying/selling/trading

I'm currently playing on Anarchy, highest lvl character is lvl 52 shadow and I've found myself buying some things off trade chat that were pretty decent upgrades for fairly low cost.

What I'm wondering is: what determines the price for Items; what are some basic qualities to look for that make them worth multiple exalts and such?

I've seen the site that breaks down the value of all currencies, and kinda want to start selling some stuff that's sitting in my stash but I feel like if I sell them by taking offers I may not get their full potential worth (although it would still be more than just vendor'ing it)

Any advice would be appreciated.

Here is a pretty well-written text on trading by some reddit-user:


It is a pretty solid guide, especially if you lack much space
or just ain't into muling for many items/rares.

just sell them or they will sit in your stash forever
