There are many people selling these items but when I try to buy them, I am asked 3-5 chaos for a rare 4L level 35.

When I try to sell for half of that price, people say I'm crazy.
Similar items.
3L or 4L with 40+ life, resists and usable on low levels (people want to start linking their stuff as soon as possible).
Half of the HC chars don't make it to 40.

This gives four 4-linked helmets with buyouts in the lv30-40 area with 30-60 life.

1. (2 chaos b/o)
q20 lv35, 310 armor, 8 int, 11 acc, 47 life, 15% fire res

2. (8 chaos b/o)
q0 lv40, 62 armor, 62 eva, 56 life, 36% fire res, 31% cold res

3. (2 chaos b/o)
q0 lv31, 74 armor, 22 es, 22 mana, 36 life, 14% light res, 11% chaos res

4. (2 chaos b/o)
q0 lv31, 126 armor, 22 es, +1 minion lvl, 17 str, 7 acc, 35 life, 13% fire res

Heck if I look further I can find following:
(1 chaos b/o) (ONE CHAOS)
q20 lv38, 143 eva, 43 es, 14 dex, 13 acc, 25 mana, 63 life (63!), 28% light res.

This should give you an idea of the market of 4-linked helmets in the lv30-40 area with 30-60 life.

pricing in this game is all about game knowledge

lets say you find a rare ring

now there are 2 decisions you consider it valuable or you consider it trash

the amounts of builds you know lets you checklist if this ring is valuable thats the first thing that happens in your mind

amount of builds useful for(pure experience)
amount of t1-t2 rolls(exaltworthy)
is the build fotm atm(so you can overcharge)
availability(how many items are on sale right now)

enter stats in poexyz and compare

only difference between hc and sc is life has a much higher value as a stat in hc

..ohh no life time to vendor is my reaction 80% of the time

Dont worry about anything under lvl 57 first of all. Its like 1 in a million they are worth something.

Play game and play many builds you'll learn values - pay attention to trade chat channel for values. Takes time man no easy solution on items.

Less time is currency flipping. You'll quickly learn the ratios if you pay attention to trade chat.

Never use currency for actual crafting when starting btw. crafing is so messed up in this game. it's used to make more money.

"Leveling Uniques" are often lost to softcore.
They are dirst cheap on SC but expensive (2-5 chaos) on HC.

I'm not a rich player and only this week really started doing maps (after 1.5 years of playing without a longer break than maybe two weeks) but 2-5 chaos IS dirt cheap.

well, it's relatively expensive, especially if, let's say, your previous hc character died, had all the expensive gear equipped, you have no currency in stash because that was your first character, and now you need some leveling uniques just to get faster to maps with your second hc character. of course if you are an hc veteran you will have tons of currency in stash, so spending 10-15 C for leveling is fine

6L chest with these mods would be 15 alch

a 6L chest is really hard to obtain, even a 6L with the worst stats will be worth at least 10 exalted orbs (usually much more). only exception is tabula rasa which in hc is worth 2 exalted orbs
