ranked condensed whites are pretty competitive as is, some are selling nearly at cost. Unranked will likely sell at a loss.

Figure out what your cost is add a small margin. You can charge more for ranked slims but can still make an ok profit selling unranked ones as well.

Considering that absolutely anyone can get ranked pots if they have the mats (since that's how the rankers STAY ranked), no, there's basically zero demand for the unranked ones.
If you're looking to become a ranker, it's best to do that right after a rank reset. If you're having pots made by someone else, find a ranker.

As said, the selling of ranked potions is already massively competitive, because of this the price on them is very low. There's really no reason for anyone to buy unranked potions with the prices as fair as they are now.
It would be better to just have a ranked potter make your potions for you. Even if you wanted to reset and try your hand at getting ranked, you'd likely have a difficult time competing since most of the existing rankers are affiliated with the larger guilds and have a steady supply of materials coming in and resources to burn.

Actually breaking into the ranks isnt really that hard, lowest on Ymir right now still stands at only 154k points.. Any half-decent potter can get that amount in only 30k sands.
But overall these days, starting about creating a new potter, buying all the gears etc just isnt worth the time for these small profits being made.
Only reason I keep doing it is because the community I believe would be sad to see me stop. Since there isn't really alot of 'active' rankers, few just pot enough to get on the list.. then don't pot at all unless they are kicked off.
As for unranked slims, why bother? They heal the same as NPC whites, just weigh less. I personally wouldn't wanna pay 3-4 times the price for no extra healing power.

^^ Yup.
Personally i wouldnt pay more than 2k for an unranked slim, and they cost about 3-4k to make. You need to keep in mind ranked pots heal 50% more, so even if you sell at 33% cheaper, thats the same HP/weight but 50% more pot spamming so to make it attractive it needs to be about 50% cheaper at least. Not worth it.
