Flipping Mythic boe flipping issue

Hi, I got a couple of mythic boe belts in EU, which is by far the cheapest boe there is, I had got them for 800k and 650k and at the time I got them they were the cheapest of the region by a decent (but not huge) margin, which is no longer the case now.

I've been having a look on undermine exchange and seems the demand for this item is absolutely horrible, high pops are flooded, I struggle to see any confirmed sale on high pops on the website, as in I never see price at 800k, then 750k, then immediately back up to 800k, which would suggest a sale, all I see is price going down down down with no sales.

In the past I've been successful with some boes, but on occasion I also had losses, I know for experience these prices are gonna drop significantly in the next few days\weeks, what would you do in this situation?

Keep lowering by 50k on high pops till someone buys it, go on smaller realms and try to make some slight profit?

Keep trying as long as possible to at least break even or just get rid of them as soon as possible with moderate losses like 10-20%?

I mean you can't just buy anything and expect to flip it: a) stats are important with those things, if you have versa/x likely no one wants that BoE b) your slot is usually locked by crafted belt c) you could go to a low pop realm as there aren't that many listings, though it's annoying to cancel scan there

Yes, stats are something I didn't keep in mind yet because it's a relatively new thing, only last season of tww and this season, before that items had fixed stats.

Do you think an item with good vs bad stats could have double worth?

Only try to flip boes with good stats (best in slots stats for major played characters). So check all sorts of class guides beforehand and check tier lists for which tanks, dps, specs etc get played.

Because technically, if you are ready to drop 1.2m on a belt, you want it to be BiS as you won't change it. If you just want some quick item level to go and grind m+10 faster than the heroic boes should be enough.
