I was trading today, looking to make some quick profit...
I purchased a Coffer, open it up, and BAM! 5 Titan gemstones.
Purchase the other three cheap gems, get another Coffer. Open it, and BAM! Another 5 Titans!
In total, I'm -88k, and +9 Titan Gemstones..
I proceed to buy 6 more Titans, 15 Stygian, 15 Margonite, and 15 Tormented.
In total I have 15 of each Gem, enough for a nice Armbrace..
I check Wiki [which I could have sworn said the Spirit of Truths was RIGHT inside of the explorable area]... and find out that I have to almost complete the Mallyx quest to get the Armbrace.
I say, screw it, money is boring. Opened 15 Coffers, ended up with an extra 5 of each gemstone, 40 Elixers, 20 Scrolls, and misc other crap. Buy 5 more Coffers, get nothing.
GG -600k for me.
:P

Not hitting up the storage after getting that expensive green, instead hitting the merchant first to sell your other stuff. oops, hit "sell" too many times cause it lags

not knowing droks armor is max and working very hard for 15k not knowing it was the same as droks ^_^

When I first got the game-first time I went into the underworld within like 5 days of playing, I sold an ecto to the merchant cos I didnt know anything about them xD they were worth 13k then, at that time id never seen 5k nevermind 13

Deleting a character and forgetting to take out the hero runes/insignias/weapons first. I suppose it's not that bad in comparison. Just some 50k.

Armbrace: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Armbrace_of_Truth
One Armbrace trades for:
Tormented Weapons: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Category:Tormented_items
or approximately 100k+160-200 ectoplasm.

Went to go get the monk cap in Mineral Springs with my ranger. After fighting mobs and mobs of those dreaded Avicara, I finally found and killed the boss at the last spawning location possible... ...only to realize I didn't bring a cap sig. It didn't matter since I also found out I was a /Me secondary instead of /Mo, so I would've "pwned" myself either way.

Lol. Hundreds here. :P
If I didn't screw up every time I attempted to cap a skill, I'd probably be a skill hunter by now!

I don't even remember how this happened but here it goes...( I feel really bad ) Ok I was going to cap FoC of Maw who was suppose to be the hardest boss and skill to cap. I go with another necro a tank an henchies. Basically compleate the whole Droks run by killing eveything. (This is the pwnage part) After about 2 hours of fighting and dieing we kill Maw. Not ONLY did she/he die underground but I forgot SoC. Needless to say I almost killed myself

Midnight Harmony
I was hunting in The Desolation with my Dervish, and I hadn't really explored much of the area around the outpost beside the Poisnoned Outcrops. I see a chest near where Uhwi spawns, and open it to reveal a gold, max damage, req 9 Sephis Axe. I thought wow, but decided to sell it as my Warrior used a sword (now I use an axe). I added a 14^50 Inscription and sold it for 40k.
I felt so gutted when I found out it was worth around 400-500k. Every time I look at a screenshot of the axe in my GW folder, I feel sad when I think of all the lovely stuff I could have bought with that much Gold.

Customizing a Req 8 15^50, 20/20 +30 celestial sword on accident...
Verata
The reason I could not cap it is because a long time ago if a boss died underground the SoC would say that there was no corpes of a boss there. This has been fixed tho. Sorry I should have made my statment of self ownage more specific.
Kook~NBK~
I merched a gold, max damage (don't remember mods or req.), Elemental Sword for around 250g!!!

Salvaging a req 9 max celestial shield by accident . Only one I have ever seen, and POOF, gone.
That and I salvaged a req 9 unided Hand Axe coming from a ToPK run. That made me depressed as well.

Monking in HA, after defeating the Zaishen and waiting for the first round to start monks often fill the time by playing with Infuse Health. After infusing to minimum health, I accidentally switched my weapon to a set with less health than the one I was in, which caused me to promptly die. Everyone had a great laugh at me, but we won halls in the first run so it was all good.

my biggest DOH recently was the attempt to cap feast of corruption for a guildie. i found somewhere on the internet that the rotscale in majesty's rest uses that elite, so we went out there to cap it with a hero team. we got slaughtered quite a lot and after a looong fight we finally killed it.... only to find out that my guildie wasn't able to cap the skill ... apparently because the rotscale is no real boss we assumed...
there was another thing that i did that was quite stupid: it was right at the start of my GW career. a friend gave me his account details so i could try the game out and see if i like it. that friend wasn't playing with that account anymore so it didn't matter if i used it to try the game. when i first reached post-searing ascalon i found the storage for the first time ... and i was wondering why the hell it was so full?? i thought those items in there all belonged to my own character (i didn't know yet that the storage was account based). so i wanted to go and make some space for my own crap......... i don't remember anymore what exactly was in there, but all items were greens, golds and i think some ectos. i sold them to merchants or just gave them to total strangers.... one of the items was a rago's flame staff, i remember that part the most . when i told the story to some other m8 he explained it was account based and i just threw away loads of good items ... that was the most embarrassing thing that happened to me on GW

Losing some good weapons when I deleted a character I wasn't playing anymore. I meticulously stripped it of every last item, but forgot I had been using heroes as extra storage. Bye bye, req. 9 15^50 oni blade, kindlerock, some good runes and req. 9 healing divine staff, among others.

Yesterday I did Thirsty River so I could cap Order of The Vampire and after I killed the boss I realized I did have a signet but it was Sunspear Rebirth Signet and not Signet of Capture. Once I equipped SoC I went back to the mission and got owned by the same baddies twice before I could cap OOV.
