  They aren't exactly top end or must have.
  First people have to be aware they even exist , feel they fill a gap, 
then look for them at the appropriate time and be at a throwaway price.

  I had some ready for alts, along with appropriate 87-ish gear. They 
blazed past the levels easily and forgot to get them out of their banks. 
They sold only slowly for very little.
  I think most ended up in the guild bank, so giveaways.

  Same thing for greens drops, people have to feel they need them right 
now and have to be on the AH for them. Repeated AH submits at low prices 
really cut the margin down.

  Bare ones without cogs, most people don't even know what to do with 
them unless they have an engineer. Those people would only buy if they 
are near cost.
  Fitted with cogs and obviously useable sell a -tiny- bit better. But 
hardly a Market, just a flea market.
