I have a couple of gold items, and I suspect they won't have much resale value, but I wanted to make sure before I do something stupid like salvage them or sell them to a merchant.
I have read over other threads but couldn't find anything similar that had actually been answered. I got my weapon mod prices from the other thread, which is a bit out of date...
1. Vampiric Gladius
Slashing Dmg: 15-22 (max)
Requirement: 12 Swordsmanship
Damage +12% (while enchanted)
Life Stealing: 3/-1
Shop Sell: 360gp
Possible Salvage: 5k Hilt
2. Half Moon of Defense
Piercing Dmg: 15-28 (max)
Requirement: 13 Marksmanship
Damage +14% (while in a stance)
Armour +5
Shop Sell: 392gp
Possible Salvage: 5k Grip
3. Zealous Short Bow of Defence
Piercing Dmg: 14-27 (notmax)
Requirement: 9 Marksmanship
Damage: +13% (while in a stance)
Energy Gain on hit: 1/-1
Armour +5
Shop Sell: 320gp
Possible Salvage: 5k Grip, 1k String
1 & 2: Does the Requirement make them unsellable, or just less valueable?
3: Would anyone buy a non-max dmg weapon?
Thanks for reading this thread :-)

Sell the gladius or salvage for the mod
The req is high on the halfmoon, but ignoring all stats on the weapon, there're people who REALLY like halfmoons. I wouldn't salvage it, I'd leave it sitting in storage until somebody pops up with "WTB Halfmoon", it happens pretty often.
Salvage the last.
And it's pretty much impossible to sell non-max weaps, unless they're some ridicuously rare skin and people want them for taking screenshots.

wow, i must say i'm very impressed by how much homework you've actually done before posting a pc thread! if only more ppl would follow your example. 
a lot of factors affect an item's market value and req is just one of them. a high req item is not necessarily always unsellable, especially if it has a rare skin (you wouldn't merchant a req 13 crystalline/dwarven/serpent etc would you?). same rule may apply for non-max weapons. however, none of your items are rare skinned, so i'd recommend salvaging all three.

the higher a req on a weapon, the less attrib you can spend in other areas, making your build limited to your weapon req, which is baaaaaad.
and for a newbie you seem to have done some background work...good job! 8)

Technically half moons are the same as a short bow, right?
I think I will Salvage 1 & 3, and hold onto 2 either selling it later or try to get a Vampiric 5/-1 and use it myself.
Thanks for your quick replies.

And as a follow up, I got the Vampiric Hilt 3/-1 and the Zealous Bow String 1/-1 so am happy with that result. :-D
