Skinning? You must be joking. Only Leatherworkers make regular use of leather items, and this is why they sell so badly.
Mining, on the other hand... You've got as regular clients Blacksmiths, Jewellers and Engineers that are too lazy to go and collect their ore.
Just sell ore and not bars .

Ok...I'm not sure what you're saying about skinning.  Are you saying that leatherworkers are the only ones that will use the mats you skin?  or that leatherworkers don't craft things that are worth much?

If its the later...you are completely wrong (and an obvious noob).  Armor kits are a HUGE money maker (cobrahide armor, clefthoof armor, heavy knothide armor, etc)...and every class needs/uses them...at every level. 

On top of that...there are mats that only skinners aquire that sell for big money (ie: cobra scales 30g each, netherdragon scales, etc.) 

Finally...mats are found EVERYWHERE.  There isn't a single zone that doesnt have something you can skin.  Almost every instance and raid as well. That isn't the case for most other professions....where mats can only be farmed in certain areas.  Mining is one of these.  There are far more skinable animals/enemies in the game than there are viens to mine.

In conclusion --  LW and Skinning together is a very profitable...and easily mastered set of professions.  Anyone that can't see that hasn't played the game enough
