19% Under 50 Spiked Axe with Perfect Sundering: Salvage or Not?

19% under 50 is not too desireable...I have seen some interest, but no respectable offers. Should I salvage or keep trying?

There is also an 18% enchanting mod on it, so I figure my odds of salvaging perfect sundering aren't great.

Even 15k would be better than salvaging it I figure. What do you think?

I'd salvage. Perfect Sundering or an Enchant mod would sell for more than a 19<50 axe with the mods.

Assuming you have equal percentages when salvaging an item to get material, sunder, or enchanting:

1/3 for 18% Enchanting (worth 10k)
1/3 for 2-4 Steel (worth 300-600)
1/3 for 10/10 Sundering (worth 40k)

So if you were to repeat this process a gazillion times to normalise variance your average return would be:

1/3 *10,000 + 1/3 * 450 + 1/3 * 40,000 = 16,816 gold.

The correct answer is to salvage.

If you sell this to a gambler, I bet you can get 10K for it. Depends on whether you want to be that gambler.
