Or cheap, mundane things. Most every one of the new blocks in 1.8 (with the exception of monument blocks) can be crafted with existing 1.7 materials, so I've been stocking a few chests full of cheap stuff in preparation.

Best market deals, imo:
Red Sand* (10/$15), Podzol (10/$10), Vine** (10/$10), Hardened Clay (10/$150)

* because of relative rarity and its use in 1.8 to make Red Sandstone.
** because harvesting large quantities of vines is a pain, and they can be used in 1.8 to make Mossy Cobble and Mossy Stone Bricks.

Good deal combos for upcoming blocks:
½ stack gravel + ½ stack dirt = 1 stack Course Dirt. ($64/stack)
4 stacks red sand = 1 stack Red Sandstone. ($384/stack)
9 slimeballs = 1 Slime Block. ($54/block - $3456/stack)
• Quartz (10/$800) because:
½ quartz + 1 cobble = 1 Andesite ($40/block - $2560/stack)
1 quartz + 1 cobble = 1 Diorite ($80/block - $5120/stack)
2 quartz + 1 cobble = 1 Granite ($160/block - $10240/stack)


And yes, closest Monument to CC is getting turned into a Shard farm.

So it goes.
