I'm not sure if this counts as an "AH-casual" mentality, but in my opinion, never forget the value of your own time.

A few months back, I sold off my guild's entire stock of Wrath gems - hundreds in total. All colors, cut and uncut, superior and epic. I had been playing certain markets for a few weeks and noticed there was always one guy I was competing with.

Well, the bank was going under a massive cleaning and reorganization, so I messaged the guy in-game. Told him I had a huge stock and was willing to sell all of it directly to him and stop this undercutting business. He agreed. At the prices we were hovering at, I took somewhere between a 20% to a 30% loss overall, but in return I gained:

1) A clean bank
2) A hefty sum of gold
3) A guaranteed sale
4) Tons of time

Just keep in mind that not everything is quantifiable, even if most of it can be reduced to 1's and 0's
