What would q25-40 hides of various animals get me? How about a q80 bear hide? Or what about low q wax? I need 50 GQ to buy a chamomile compress for my infected friend.

This area has the main "sell stuff for money" offers. The best way for a poor village/hermit to earn money is definitely Q10+ ant queens/empresses. At 7g each, you can earn quite a bit per hour compared to your other options. Check around it though, there's other offers. They buy 4 wax for 1g as well. As for silver, you need 24 to convert it into 10 gold, so that's your conversion ratio.
The trick to finding offers to buy things for coins is to look for coinpiles on the barter stands. Those are accepting items and giving coins, so check them all out. Most stands aren't rich enough to buy many things, so the majority of coin handing out happens from the hedgehug stands I showed.
