Assuming leveling from 1 - 12x is as easy as some people make it out to be after new BB curve.
Theoretically.
After BB > Easier leveling > Moar high level people> Increased high level gear demand > price increase for high level gear.
Theoretically. Low level gear (WG's, saunas etc) should have lost some value after Potential System and should further lose value after the new exp curves comes in.
Theoretically. The increase of players during BB should increase the demand of a lot of items on the market for the first month or so. So theoretically, it should be more profitable to sell high level stuff after BB hits your Maple. Whether low level gear will retain it's current price range or increase/decrease will depend on the activity of Maple after BB and will depend on whether or not that influx of players will care about increasing their character's power for a short term (may not apply to insanely good low level equips).
No idea about Mastery/Skill books. I could swear the books are easier to obtain after BB, but that's just speculation from glanced information I've gathered out of this site from the last few months. I also believe Skill books are not needed anymore since you get all your skills after you advance. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though.
Besides trying to predict your own economic future, obtaining gear before prices starts getting crazy (if they already aren't) and going down the memory lane taking screenshots of stuff (like SwordStaker) there's really not much to do before BB. Even leveling seems like a waste if you don't enjoy the grind right now.
PS: Take my comment with a bowl of salt.
