Beyond many of the other great suggestions;
The artificial 35,000 limit is ridiculous. Blizzard's algorithm for determining items value just blows big time. Some items are under valued, and some are over valued. IMHO, it is wrong to have valuation mostly based on spells and + to skills. A +2 sorceress skills helm should not be equal to a +2 Energy Shield helm, both at 35000. Especially since they charge way more for some blue items (again based mostly on + skills and spell levels). It is strange to me that they mucked this up as bad as they did, as they obviously had great plans for a D2 economy.
Another idea is that you could assess a training fee of 1000 * the skill level for each skill in the tree.
