I thought things were broken but a number of items seem to scale, and it doesn't seem conistent. It probably is, but not from the foggy side. I know it is a bit to do with things like herilooms, partly flex and other things. Not a problem once you figure it out. My bankers are seeing things like http://www.wowhead.com/item=72986/heavy-windwool-bandage it has a scale 96000 heals at 90, the bankers see 64. This and a bucketload of other items. But why? the bandage isn't useable until 85 ?? So , it didn't always do that, did it? That plus auctioneer and other mods updated get really confused with years break between data , had to mass delete the saveddata files and still could not seem to get good data and estimates until I checked and saw the wowhead sliders. What with the bad data and no clue about the new items and poor judgement based on the number I was seeing on the banker it made for quite few kgold dropped, lost, thrown away for a while. Barely 15k up for a week and mostly that is selling what old stuff is 'worth' more due to rarity. Vendoring whole bank tabs of stuff by judgement or accident. Not that I have been in auction much, leveling 4 mains mostly to avoid having to look inside the emptying vaults. 10 Saronite swordbreakers , 8 titansteel destroyers, spellblades, crushers most lvl 80 crafter gear not bad rounding out gear used to be 1-2k, not even worth the DE mats now, not worth giving to any new 80 , 20 minutes in Hyjal and 200% better. Vendor. I knew that would happen, just I have to step away for a while then take a running jump to the vendor and just keep on clickclickclicking through the tsunami of vendor anguish. Actually it isn't that traumatic, only the covetous hindbrain is in shock. The lesson on the impermenance of real and virtual wealth, and stuff in games as well, is a good one at Christmas :-)
