Market Survey

Something between P and A.
I rarely go to the player market to buy or sale - I try my very best to get everything I need for myself. I generally call it cheap - I do so because I don't like to spend gold on things I can get for free.
But then, for either things I can't get for free or things that are rare enough that the likely hood of me finding are so rare I *have* to go to the player market I will pay through the nose for if it makes a difference, of course there is a limit.
Generally speaking I check the current price range, I figure I will sell at the bottom and buy at the top. After that I look at the likely hood of me getting said item and if I will make more by farming for those hours or spending what the upper bounds of cost are.
For example, I usually purchase most rare crafting materials instead of farming them. Most normal farming materials are easier to farm than to purchase, though there are exceptions. There are also golds that I hate farming for so I know I will not do enough to get one - so I purchase them. Then there are things like Elite tomes - I rarely every purchase one because I'm happy to farm most of them. Lastly most greens are famed, there are VERY few exceptions to that.

Collector: I don't "collect" anything per se, but I'm always looking for cheap minipets to fill my HOM. I've decided to keep one of each pet in storage just to have, but the others get dedicated and trashed.
Seller: I'll usually undercut the going rate to sell quickly, but most stuff goes to the merch
Buyer: Mostly lockpicks and title stuff.

4 (For gold weaps, If I know it's worth at least 25k I'll go through the hassle of trying to sell, if not it gets stored, but eventually merched cos I just can't be arsed to stand around selling, and using Guru for low end stuff is just irritating now. For other items like Gems, armor remnants, etc, I try to collect a few and then sell them in a town for the going rate. But I get stuff like that few and far between.)
D (I don't tend to follow trends, I just like what I like. If I know my Monk or Ele, or whatever, will look great with a certain weapon I'd try save for it and get it as cheap as pos, but that's very rare as I tend to go for stats rather than looks. But for armor...I save up, then blow it all on the one set

There's nothing of any value in the game other than VANITY(once you have maxed out weapons and armor). Thus, buying things just to improve how one looks is a waste of coins. I suppose P would be my choice. I play when I feel like it, but, lately that hasn't been very much since there is nothing that will improve my POWER. One should concentrate on Ursans Blessing for a skill. 
Treasure Hunter and Wisdom Title tracks for savings. Lightbringer for POWER in the latter parts of Nightfall if you like playing there. Sunspear is meh, if you could use it in PVP that would be a plus though.
