nice, a lot of ppl have some nice trades, anyway forgot to post one of my best sell imo, (personal dont have much great sell as i rarely buy to items to sell them off for a profit), anyway my best was sell was a req 10 14^50% ivory bow for 5k; this was before factions came out, when runes like sup abrob was like 100k; then a few days later saw someone in la spamming a req 10 15^50% ivory for 10k which i manage to get it for 8k, which i still have and use on my range to now. since, i didnt need the 14^50% anymore i thru it up on guru auction and manage to sold it for 24k. so i got a 11k in profit and a new bow

After searching for about 2 weeks I had bought a Mini Greased Lightning for 2000E in October 2007 - it took me about 2hours to sell it for 3500E

Ah... and in September I had been looking for a Mini Ghostly @ 800E for about 3 weeks, but couldn't find one. One evening - i had nearly given up - i was just relaxing at Ascalon Int.1 when someone spammed 'WTS Mini Ghostly'.
When I asked him how much he was looking for he told me that 500E would be fine.
Sold the Ghostly for 1150e+1Armbrace some days later

Back in the days when I was a complete noob I found a guy selling a purple crystalline for 10k. I don't remember exact stats but it was something with hex + high req.
Ofc I bough it and resold it here on guru for approx 100k+15 if I remember correctly.
Another great deal would be the req.8 15%^50 Shadow Bow I bought for 20k in LA a few weeks later after the Crystalline. It was unmodded so I modded it with perfect sundering and fortitude. Sold it two days later for 100k+20.
From that day I always modded my weapons to sell, poor me.

Made all my cash with trading, so I'm sure I can find some nice trades I made.
Too bad I cant really remember them
When colossal scimitars began getting more common, because people started to farm them the price range was really big: 50k to 100k + 100 ecto.
In that weekend, I traded like 8 colossals and made 250e total
Bought a q9 zodiac longbow for 3k, sold it 2 mins later for 100k..
Made tons of trades like the last one
Also traded zodiac items when people started farming them.
Bought them for around 20-100k and sold for 100k + 5 to 100k + 60..
My biggest ownage:
Bought a shiroken for 460e, sold it the next day for 460e, because the price was really unstable.
Next month shiroken was 1000e.. gg.

I had quite a streak yesterday night.
Hero FFFed, gave my guildie 30 k.
Bought a enameled shield for 10 k.
Modded it and sold it for 36 k.
Bought a pair of r9, inscribable Dragon Scythes for 20 k.
Traded for an r13 Stygian Reaver (yes I know, they are worth more than an r13 stygian). Now I have a sick ass caster axe.

I saw someone spamming wtb the rockmolder 100k, so i went to the warcamp and bought one for 5k. Then, i headed back to droks and sold it the first guy. Probably my largest profit ever.

Hardly do any trading, but my best sale by far was giving a guy 5 Bathazar Tokens during the event for 5k.

Get a golden sword ( doesn´t need to be good), go to Spanish District in LA, sit, wait until you see a guy spamming: BUSKO UNA SPADA WENAA ( IM LOOKIN A GUD SUORD) and then try to sell the sword at a reasonable price (1-2k). You will never see bad golden swords evah
Cale Roughstar
He probably means 10k ea...
I dont think I have ever gotten quite as lucky as some of the guys here, but I do recall one that was always nice. I started my power trading career with Zodiac Shields. I would buy them for about 70-80k ea and resell for 100k within a matter of minutes usually, so not bad. One day (back when ele swords were still rare) I saw a guy spamming WTS req9 ele sword, so I offered him a zodiac shield and 5 ectos. Not much of a gain here, maybe 20k as ele swords were going for about 100+5 then. Later while spamming the ele sword, a guy asks me if I will take a trade. He offers me 65k and a req9 Mot amethyst aegis, perfectly modded. I resold that promptly for 100k+10. So, 70k +5 e for 165k +10e? not bad.
