My 2+ year old Ranger, with a couple elite armors and a ton of customized bows. It was on purpose, too, cause I wanted to make a Necromancer and figured I wouldn't be playing Ranger again. Now I'm remaking him.

Water Djinn (gold) minipet. I put it on a PvP only character (why I have no idea) and then deleted the character, forgetting it was there.

150-250k down the drain right there.

sold a black dye to the merchant, about the worst I've done. I always put the non-sellable items before things I don't want to accidentally sell. That way if I do click too much it stops once it hits that item.

deleted my first warrior with full elite armor, two stacks of steel and a bunch of runes before the rune traders came out, and some decent weapons including a perfect gold magma's shield.

Nothing really major, sold a Black Dye and a Sup.Vigor (Still attached to the armour it dropped on) to a merchant in my early days of playing.

I'm pretty careful about merching and salvaging.

salvaged 7 characters with two or more 15k suits and lots of weapons as well as one with fow, which was a replacement of yet another that i had replaced and salvaged that had fow, because i quit for a long time, still glad i left my ele and ranger intact though, i lost epic amounts of money on the warrior though, cause i gave away all my moneys and ectos when i had quit.

Lets see... Sold a perfect (I think) Mursaat hammer to the merchant. I was a newbie and a friend gave it to me, I merched it by accident but didn't care for about 2 months, then I found out what it could have been worth.

Back in Prophecies days I bought a Vamp 3/1 bowstring for what I thought was a good price, thinking that I would add it to my max gold bow and sell it for a good amount.

After adding it I then realised that the bow had, for some reason, no damage bonus whatsoever and thus was unable to sell it. I tried to get the bow string back, but it broke and I was out of pocket.

I kinda regret deleting some older avatars of mine, even though I was bored with them and didn't play them really at all.

I did the same thing. And I also do that with things in my inventory now - putting items that I can't merch before my precious. And so far, that's worked quite well. No mishaps. lol.

Made a Perfect salvage kit because I wanted to move some runes around on my necro's armor. Accidentally used an Expert kit and deleted her Vabbian leggings while salvaging a minor rune...doh!

Deleted my warrior's 15k Glads chestpiece by mistake. She had a lot of whites and stuff I couldn't merch (what it was I don't remember, but I clearly remember me being unable to merch). Started deleting stuff... didn't pay attention, there went the chestpiece... x]

Ditto for me. Don't think I had that much stuff on him, but I know he had Lunto's Pincers.

I had a lvl 18 necro in pre-searing (Before LDoA) she had 12 black dyes, stacks of spider webs, a vamp weapon and 100k and I woke up hungover one morning thought she was a PvP character and deleted her..

You can imagine how many times I banged my head against the wall...

I never really noticed skins on weapons. Then I found guru price check, and saw the skins page. As I went down the list, I kept saying to myself, "I merched a few of those.".

I have over 20 million experience on my charecters combined, and have merched every single non-green weapon. If I got a gold, I basically looked for mods to salvage and sell. I never once thought to sell the actual weapon.

First time in Droknar's was walking around exploring in awe with henchies, gold 14^50 r10 fellblade dropped, and I merched it. Later on a pvp character deleted it with 50k and a r9 +5energy golden phoenix blade on it and a perfect non-inscribable +45enchanted -2enchanted r10 magmas shield.

i deleted a necro that had 80k in its inventory, and a full set of 15k scars. This was about 4 months after guild wars was released, and it was done on a whim. i bought enough char slots to use all primaries, so I will never make this mistake again
