A good example of price changes is the stuff you used to get farming air elementals. Essence of Air used to be like 30 gold because it was used in high end crafted stuff. Breath of wind used to be 1-2 gold. Almost a complete reversal now. Essence of Air is 1-2 gold now -- no one wants those formerly high end items now, and its not in the leveling path. Breath of wind by contrast often sells for 12 gold or more each because those elementals are rarely farmed now, and the item is used in the leatherworking quests. Sure, you cant sell unlimited quantities at good prices, but if your patient you can do very well.

What we are aiming to find is the items like breath of wind that will be worth 5x more. The other nice thing about breath of wind today is the nice profit per stack you would have made hording it.

One thing that comes to mind to think more on is adamantite powder. Its basically a vendor item at the moment since large prismatics got wacked. Will it be useful in the JC leveling track post Northrend? (I have to check.) If so, the potential is there for big gains. If the old rare gems arent desirable for gemming gear, I'm thinking that folks may look at other leveling paths if they are cheaper.
