Two flip directions, both priced live: items NPCs sell cheap that resell higher on the market board, and items listed cheap on the board that any vendor buys back for more.

Hundreds of vendor items — furnishings, materials, orchestrion rolls, minions — routinely sell on the board for multiples of their vendor price, because most players never check the vendor. Profit shown is after the 5% market tax, based on what the item actually sells for rather than a single outlier listing.
Sometimes players dump items below their NPC buy-back price. Buy the listing, sell it straight to any vendor, pocket the difference with zero market risk. Rare, but free money when it appears.
Every item links to its detail page listing exactly which NPCs sell it, in which zone, with a map pin — so the shopping trip is part of the answer.
It varies by server. The flipping tool ranks every flippable vendor item by current profit on your world — commonly housing furnishings, crafting materials, and orchestrion rolls.
No — buying from NPCs and selling on the market board is normal gameplay and a long-standing gil strategy.
The tool bases profit on what an item actually sells for, not a lone high listing — so numbers are conservative and realistic.
