Hello everyone,
This is a guide I copied from one website, it is from year 2017.
The prices thus are not super accurate, but it can give you at least rought picture to not get completely ripped off.
First, here is some basic info about runes - you can cube runes with a specific gem into one tier higher rune:
3 El Runes → 1 Eld Rune
3 Eld Runes → 1 Tir Rune
3 Tir Runes → 1 Nef Rune
3 Nef Runes → 1 Eth Rune
3 Eth Runes → 1 Ith Rune
3 Ith Runes → 1 Tal Rune
3 Tal Runes → 1 Ral Rune
3 Ral Runes → 1 Ort Rune
3 Ort Runes → 1 Thul Rune
3 Thul Runes + 1 Chipped Topaz → 1 Amn Rune
3 Amn Runes + 1 Chipped Amethyst → 1 Sol Rune
3 Sol Runes + 1 Chipped Sapphire → 1 Shael Rune
3 Shael Runes + 1 Chipped Ruby → 1 Dol Rune
3 Dol Runes + 1 Chipped Emerald → 1 Hel Rune
3 Hel Runes + 1 Chipped Diamond → 1 Io Rune
3 Io Runes + 1 Flawed Topaz → 1 Lum Rune
3 Lum Runes + 1 Flawed Amethyst → 1 Ko Rune
3 Ko Runes + 1 Flawed Sapphire → 1 Fal Rune
3 Fal Runes + 1 Flawed Ruby → 1 Lem Rune
3 Lem Runes + 1 Flawed Emerald → 1 Pul Rune
2 Pul Runes + 1 Flawed Diamond → 1 Um Rune
2 Um Runes + 1 Topaz → Mal Rune
2 Mal Runes + 1 Amethyst → Ist Rune
2 Ist Runes + 1 Sapphire → Gul Rune
2 Gul Runes + 1 Ruby → Vex Rune
2 Vex Runes + 1 Emerald → Ohm Rune
2 Ohm Runes + 1 Diamond → Lo Rune
2 Lo Runes + 1 Flawless Topaz → Sur Rune
2 Sur Runes + 1 Flawless Amethyst → Ber Rune
2 Ber Runes + 1 Flawless Sapphire → Jah Rune
2 Jah Runes + 1 Flawless Ruby → Cham Rune
2 Cham Runes + 1 Flawless Emerald → Zod Rune
This doesn’t mean that the rune one tier higher is always worth two or three runes bellow it. Cham and Zod are not worth much, as these are not used in many runewords (Zod is almost useless as it is only used in one runeword that gets beaten by another runeword requiring only Lo rune)
The most valuable runes are Ber and Jah. Their current real price is around 16-18 Ist.
Never trade these for common uniques as shako, arach, soj, etc. Althought these item may look good, their value is nowhere near these high runes and will go down the older the game will get.
Also, not many people will bother with trades for less than Lem rune. You are usually better off farming the stuff worth less than Lem yourself than wasting time trying to trade for that.
