1. About a year and a half ago, when I was still a newbie, I bought a Crystalline Sword in Lions Arch for 14k. I don't remember what mods it had, but I put it on the GWG auctions and sold it for 185.5k

2. A long time ago in Lions Arch someone was leaving the game and sold me their Kunnavang for 3k, which I then sold for 100k +2E.

3. During the GW:EN preview event I bought a Saurian Scythe for 40k and sold it just before GW:EN went live for 100k +5.

Aren't that much of a trader, but some of my worst trades;

Sold a R8 Fiery Gladius (one of the first, if not the, r8 NF swords) for 100k+20e, while it was worth ~+100e
Sold a Vizu for 800e, while it's ~1500e now
Bought Eternal Blade R10 for +60e, sold 10 min later for +70e, now it's like +200e

My good trades are in pale contrast to the above bad trades

Yup, it's official I suck predicting the future prices of items.

that could be said for MANY MANY things -- Victo's Bulwark, Sup Absorb, any Kanaxai/Urgoz green, Col Scim, Elemental Sword......etc etc

So I guess I'll state......I sold a max gold insc r11 Col Scim for 70 ectos less than a week before HM dropped, and they could be easily farmed. That would be almost merch fodder now.

Also, I bought a mini shiroken about a week ago for 585 ectos, and while that was a fair price then they have even gotten more expensive. Im thinking rare minis are maybe the only way to earn 'interest' on huge stacks of money, whereas pretty much everything else depreciates.

I don't really trade much... but one time I spent around an hour buying and selling destroyer cores, and at the end looked and saw my storage had grown by around 100k

Few weeks after the last minipet give away I zoned into Kamadan from LA. I was heading to DoA to give Zhed armor then go to bed when some guy said he was selling a yeti. I asked his price and he said 2k. I immediately opened trade and received an undedicated Yeti for 2k, which i sold for 120e. Pretty happy with myself with that trade.

I bought frozen ectos for only 2k ea. What a noob that guy was, I felt bad after i pretty much cleaned out his 100+ stash. But then again, I guess you need to be selfish?

BTW, how do you defrost these things???

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!

Well anyways my best trade was when I was looking for a zodiac sword for my warrior, back when Urgoz was the sh1t. I saw one selling for 50k and I literally pounced on it. It was +5 energy so I thought that I scammed myself by buying it (I was a noob and didn't know about caster weapons). I give it to my friend to sell for me.

I told him I wanted to sell it for 80k on the guru auction page so he says "sure but lets make the buyout extraordinarily high" So we set the buyout at 100k 30e. After 3 hours of the auction the buyout was met and we sold the sword. When my friend gave me the money from the trade, a person PM's me telling me he'll give me 100k +100e for that zodiac sword. I was pretty pissed.
