I am looking into BPC trading. I've sold many BPCs before, but I'm aware things have changed in price. I'm curious as to what people commonly buy/sell BPC wise, as well as what does or does not sell. If you guys could list a few that would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

BPC market fluctuates as ships and modules change popularity. For example, during the last year I have never had an issue of quick selling Vexor BPCs as Ishtars were highly used.

Also, a rise in large new player friendly alliances, like your Brave Collective and before that TEST Alliance opened a huge market for frigate BPCs.

That's something which you can generally see just by observing the game and the [your] environment. However, profitability of specific BPCs is not something that is easy to share. One reason is, as others said, competition. The other reason is that by the time I can give you an advice on investing in a specific blueprint, the market has already reacted and it's already too late for investment.

So, the best advice is to observe what's used or going to be used the most at the time and going for it. Reading each dev blog to follow game and balancing changes also helps a lot.

P.S.
You might want to subscribe to "Auction Market Shop" and "Wholesale Trading" in-game mailing lists. These are fairly active and you can sell (or buy) a lot of stuff, including BPCs in bulk.
