Selling items for less than they are worth.

So I have ran into several examples with this and I can’t help but wonder if it’s a flaw in the Black Lion trading post or if people just like to lose money. So here’s the long and short of the problem, the cost of numerous items is less than the cost of the materials. My best example of this is 20 slot bags. The superior rune of holding has a constant cost of 10 g. So how is it they only sell for 11 g 76 s 46 c, with the listing fee of 58 s 82 c. For those of you who don’t want to do the math your losing 1 c. This also assumes you have the rest of the materials that are worth roughly 3 s. So if you buy the materials your losing 3 s and change every time. This for an item last time I checked basically everyone wants and uses. Wouldn’t it be smarter if the Black Lion trading post assumed the costs and told you if you were selling an item at a loss or gain based on current market value/cost of the materials?
