This seems to be a mix of a guide and usage of what seems to be a bug in the auction house buy and sell order logic.
Today I started trading and I noticed that the bigger your item buy and sell orders, the longer it takes the auction house to get rid of your stuff. So instead of buying and selling huge stacks, just start it slow with stacks of 50. My orders are usually filled within a second or two and I can resell anything right away. As the auction house system is really fast moving you need to pay close attention on what to buy and what's not worth the effort. I just made 20s to 1g20s within roughly one hour with this little trick. Here are two screens so you can see it for yourself and get some ideas on what to sell.
First screen: buying.
Second screen: selling.

Maybe I should also mention that there may be 30000 buy orders before yours, if you just do 50 the auction house will take yours. Don't ask me why, it's working that way. That should make the working of this a little bit more clear.
