Lets skip the long-winded Gimp ramble for once and just get down to some simplistic golden nuggets that are the Darkmoon Faire Quest Items...
Ok so there are a few items available that will start quest for the darkmoon faire
Adventurer's Journal & 
The Captured Journal
Banner of the Fallen & A Captured Banner
Captured Insignia & The Enemy's Insignia
Imbued Crystal & A Curious Crystal
Monstrous Egg & An Exotic Egg/ An Exotic Egg
Mysterious Grimoire & An Intriguing Grimoire/ An Intriguing Grimoire
Ornate Weapon & A Wondrous Weapon/ A Woundrous Weapon
Soothsayer's Runes & Tools of Divination/ Tools of Divination
A Treatise on Strategy & The Master Strategist
Now these items make a great buy for flipping, by buying them when the faire is not open, and re-listing at a higher price once the faire returns.
However the reason I'm talking about these items is even simpler than flipping, If we look at the last two items on the list we can get a nice small gold tip.
Now the items themselves are nothing special, however if we take a look at the quests they give us:
Right there we now have a minimum we can buy these two items for and still make profit!! 16 G 54 S
This essentially gives us an "Artificial Vendor" price for these items, meaning any of these bought for less than 16 G 54 S are still gonna make profit! Now this wont net you a ton of bank, but its a great thing to keep an eye out for.
For more info on this check out Faid of Nerf Faids video on youtube
What items do you know of that have an "Artificial Vendor" price, an item that has a minimum to price that will still allow profit?

Good luck finding Treatises for 16g or less though. @_@
I imagine you can do this pretty easily with Runes though.
Ive found the treatise are very rarely that low, however i picked up 20 runes this week at about 3g a pop on average :D so it never hurts.
Also use this idea to keep an eye out for other "artificial" vendor prices!
When I tried to do these quests for the tickets, I noticed I can't do them more than once per character. Does it reset every time the faire comes or can you really only do them just once?
Once per faire visit, but the idea is to sell them to other people, and at worst use alts to turn them in.
However the point of this post which most people have missed was to show an example of an artificial price for an item. In this case the quest items are worth 16g minimum because you can get your invested gold back (if not slowly in this instance).
But use it as an example to think about, look for other such items in game. A gold tip that is buy X and sell it for Y, is short lived and imho not very good, so look for the deeper idea behind it :D
Unfortunately a lot of people don't get this and ask me to do the thinking for them and have mailed me trashing this post, and to them I apologise, as I'm not here to make money for you, I'm here to make you think and understand the reasoning behind methods.
