Zone callouts selling seem particularly effective as well. I know, it’s annoying af; but they wouldn’t be doing it if it weren’t making them loads of gold.
ATM the material prices, even gold upgrades are going down and they are not stabilized, so the margin is pretty slim. By the time you may sell what you have bought cheaply from another guild, it will get even lower. In any case you have to buy about 20% lower than you're selling to make it worth while because guild fees are 8%.

I have one "flex" character spot to create an alt, fish until I get the Master Angler achievement, then filet the fish for Roe and sell the Roe.
I don't filet a single fish till I have my title then I delete the alt and start all over again.
I've got it streamlined down to maybe 3-4 days per title and I make anywhere from 400-900k per run depending on Roe counts.
It's not a bad way to do it.

Of course, this method is very much like gambling; you could spend hours opening every container and end up empty handed or some of the more common recipes.

Spent some time upfront exploring what sells well. I usually don't bother with anything below 20k (Single item) or below 10k (Stacks). Then work the kiosks and find good deals. You can easily maintain a 10%-15% profit margin on that and every once in a while you hit the jackpot with something so cheap that you can easily sell it for 10x or more.
PS: If you are worried about the house cut, try selling bit ticket items in zone chat.

TTC shows the listings, not the transactions. Nobody would buy any green recipe or furnishing blueprint for more than 1K, regardless of zone; most won't even fech 300 gold, so they're not worth listing. Of course, some players really have no clue when they list items, but you lose 4K up front listing something at 400K, which will most likely never sell. Purples and some blue ones will sell pretty well though. Gold ones are bought from the writ merchant, with some being pickpocketted from "noble" type NPCs, but the chance for those is very slim.

That is all probably true in general, but I have heard that the Murkmire green recipes are indeed an exception, that their droprate is not comparable with most other greens and so they do indeed sell for more. I agree that 400k does seem high, but I honestly don’t know.
