In dire need of help pricing stuff!!!

It's kind of hard to say, because many of the stats/affixes depend on what else is on the item, and what class is looking to buy the item. For example, +Armor can be great, but without other good stuff it's probably not going to sell. Or, people love buying high primary stat with good VIT, but high VIT by itself typically won't sell, and high primary stat by itself does at least have a (small) chance to sell. Again, it's hard to explain all of the different exceptions by item type, what's on the item, and what class it's for, but there are some stats that do stand out.

Increased Attack Speed
Critical Hit Chance
Critical Hit Damage
Max Slots (3 for Chest, 2 for Legs, 1 for Head, Amulet, Ring, Weapon, Off-Hand/Shield)
All Resistance
Primary Stats (DEX seems to still sell the best/for the highest prices)

And then these are pretty decent if coupled with the above:

+Armor
Life on Hit (mainly on weapons around 600 or higher, but if really high on amulets/rings that's good too)
Magic Find (this is probably going to be more sought after very soon so I figured I would include it)
Gold Find
Movement Speed (mainly just on boots, and only if it's in addition to the above stats)

Basically, the more of these you find together on an item, the better. As for "what items are the most rare," I'm thinking you mean which ones do people want the most to find with good stuff on them? That would be (as far as I know) Amulets and Rings above all else, then Gloves, then Helms, and maybe even Bracers at the end (sure why not, lol.) I believe the reasons for this are:

Amulet and Rings are the hardest items to find with great stats on them (making them the most expensive items in the AH)
Amulets, Rings, and Gloves can roll IAS, Crit Chance, AND Crit Damage on them ("trifecta")
Helms and Bracers can roll Crit Chance, but Helms can also roll a socket which can be very useful

So yeah, hope that helps, and if anyone sees this and thinks I've got something wrong, feel free to correct me.

agreed. although slots on pants and chest armor are not extremely important IMO, you can also get the stats you want on those without the sockets...

He's talking about low level items. The psychology of players in that level range differs greatly from the already geared out level 60 players that you guys are describing.

Low level items do in fact sell. I would argue the markets for which you can work are much less saturated, and deals can found all the time. One of my accounts trades exclusively in the level 25-35 range and pulls in several million per day.

People at that level (in softcore) only care about main stat + vit + armor value, and main stat + dps for weapons. Even people with previous level 60 chars do not care about crit, attack speed, arcane on crit, etc. I know this is a broad generalization, but I'm just going off of market experience and having many sub level 60 sales.

Niche markets aren't really relevant at those levels.

My tip for you mountain is to look at the rare weapons you found, and with a normal flawless square ruby if they aren't on the first 2 pages of items on the gah, vendor them.

PS. Low level armor is hard to sell, weapons move a lot more frequently.

True, but if you get both a primary stat AND sockets on an item, you have the potential to break the primary stat's max value for that item.

Yeah, I totally forgot the first part of the email after reading the last part, lol. My mistake.

Even though I have a lot less experience I agree. I've sold quite some low lvl stuff for prices 5-25k. Mostly when not having time to play.. then its easy to put some stuff on the AH. Most luck with high DPS weapons (added rubies in sockets), dex+vit armor pieces and stat rings/amus.
