Foods That Sell So Fast at The Auction House it is Hard to Keep 'em Stocked
These foods always have sold so fast for me that often when I do a round of synthing and post the items, I go back to more synthing and often find I have to post more items to replace what has sold from the first round of synthing. These cooking items often sell so fast that many times other cooks will be in the market and fiercely competing. However it is important not to drive the price down and undercut the next person so much that there is no profit to be had. If there is heavy competition post cautiously and only a few items in that market at a time. You will find that regardless of the competition, these items are nice, reliable, fast sellers for a wide range of profit.

Also note that while I have not listed them, there are several fishing bait items synthable by cooks that can sell very fast if you dig into the fishing market research. However I have not listed them because the fishing system is often undergoing many changes and Insect Balls by far is the very best in fast selling fishing bait.
