I just wanted to let you know that I tried this: I bought an unidentified Staff from a guy for 187 gold, used Loremaster to identify it, and tried selling it back: I would only get 147 gold for the sale. So there is zero - no, negative profit to be made by purchasing unidentified things and selling the identified versions back.
