Guild Wars 2

How does one flip, and which markets are good flipping targets?

You buy something cheap and sell it quickly for a profit.
Markets are volatile- just look for an item where you can place the highest buyorder and still sell with the lowest sellorder for more than 15% difference (the tp fees).

I would need a piece of third party market-scanning software for that. Does Zicore’s do it? I am struggling a little with the interface.

This uses data from that. http://notifier.zicore.de/
I was wondering if there’s a way to get it to scan all the item prices and return all of the ones with a specified volume and margin?

easiest way to flip is to find an item with a low buy order price compared to it’s sell orders (minimum 15% less, better to be less than half the price). If also needs to be a popularly traded item that isn’t currently decreasing in value.
place multiple buy orders for the item at that buy order price
as people sell you that item at the buy order price, list them for the sell order price.

I wonder if Zicore’s app has such functionality?

Dude, it’s not that hard that you need a third-party app. Will an app make you more efficient? Maybe—it depends on a couple of variables. Will you occasionally lose money? Almost certainly. That’s why you diversify.

Really, though, just go scan the markets. You’ll find something. . .

I’ve been looking for ages. Hence the thread.

You’re not likely to get any specifics because people who play the markets know the second they post a specific thing here the margin/profit dies in around 10 minutes. I’m not joking, we’ve all seen it happen.

I will however be nice and give you a hint:

Look at material refinements. Like taking Copper Ore and turning it into Copper ingots and then reselling (I doubt there’s any money in copper). There can be quite a bit of profit sometimes in just buying raw material, refining it, and the reselling. Especially when a particular raw material is rising or dropping in price the things it is made into lag behind in price changes for varying amounts of time.

No you haven’t. Otherwise you would have seen that you can sort in the item categories on gw2spidy (which API is used by what you linked as is also MENTIONED there) after the profit margin field.
The rest you have to find out yourself.
