I don't claim by any means to be an expert in any of this, but here's my basic assessments of your items:

- I would expect you could probably get a 800-1.5k for the first air wand, if you can find a buyer. The problem you have here is that while the energy and casting bonus are nice, elementalists normally have tons of energy anyway, so your bonus isn't particularly significant, and collectors can offer items with much better bonuses. If you're having a lot of trouble selling it, you'll either have to underprice it, or probably sell it to a vendor.

- This second air wand is interesting, I don't really know how to price it. Most elementalists would probably avoid something like this like the plague, except that if they're using ether renewal anyway, then the energy degeneration doesn't really matter, and the 10 energy is nice. I would guess 2-3k, but I've never really seen many of these for sale, so I could be completely wrong.

- Max bows normally go for between 500-1k depending on the buyer and exactly the type of bow. I don't know off hand which bows are worth the most.

- The tall shield you will probably end up selling to a vendor or salvaging. 13 tactics is ridiculously high; players with that much skill will likely be able to find VERY good shields for quite cheap anyway, so don't expect much for it.

- The piercing axe looks pretty good for a near-max weapon. The req is nice and low and the bonuses are all pretty solid. Of course, because it isn't max, you won't be able to get what you could for it. Nonetheless, I would expect 1-2k, maybe even a little more if you're lucky, wouldn't be unreasonable.

-A max armor shield should be able to fetch 1-1.5k. The higher req ones might go for a little less.

-The air staff of fort I would probably salvage or sell. I guess you could get a few hundred for it if you looked hard enough.

-I'm not sure what to do about the holy staff. Granted, monks don't often care about damage per say, but most people like to have max or near max anyway. You can probably sell this for a few thousand, maybe 5k if you're lucky. If you salvage it, you can get probably 3k for the head or 8k for the wrapping.

-Fiery dragon swords of this nature normally sell between 500-1k.

-Hammer grip, probably 3-4k.

-The elemental bowstrings are worth 500-750.

-The price varies quite a bit on poison bowstrings; I've seen people trying to sell them for up to 10k. I don't know how successful they've been. There is a thread called "weapon mod baseline pricing" that lists estimates for values of these types of items (I normally take 50~75% of these prices for post-patch), and it rates the poison string at 1-2k. Again, I've people trying to sell them for more, so your guess is as good as mine.

Hope that helps somewhat,
