Best was I've found to make money, is to save for what you want, and stop spending it in the process...
Have to agree with that, I don't seem to have a problem making money, my biggest problem is holding onto it, I think i'm a spendaholic

^agree, I suprise myself how fast I burn through 250k lol. But imo the fastest way I've made easy money is UW speedway and running Shards or Rragar HM

Oooo if we are talking about spending i bought a Zodiac Q9 sword for.... no reason o.O i knew it was well overpriced aswell a example of powertrading  The only times i have powertraded and i suggest you try this is go on the WTB fourm and look for peeps wanting a certain item find a seller of this item ingame message the guru contact to see if he/she still needs it buy it cheaper than the contact wants and sell for however much the contact wanted ..... ive made a bit that way i dnt often do it now but have done before anyway advertising on guru to buy are often desperate for a seller to come along just take advantage of them :E

If you realy want to make money as fast as possible, there is nothing thats beat running people threw hm dungeons. Expect power trading perhaps, but i have no experience with that.
But I'm like you, I don't like to run people. So, I'm doing the CoF runs alone with my hero-smiter. This brings me ca. 5k safe, just threw the quest-reward and selling my inventory. Usually I get 6 "special" drops, which are golds, lockppicks, rin relicts or diamonds, what are another 5 to 6k. So, a CoF run brings you safe 10k, even without running people.
After the nerf the chaosplane runs still working, but need more time (nearly the same time as an CoF run) and you have 57 fews less to farm. You have to pay 1k for the entrance and every few runs, the damn behemots spans, that you can't get to the planes. Usually I get 1 ecto per run. Sure there are runs, where I get up to three ectos, but there are runs without a single ecto, too.
My conclusion is, since you can't sell ectos for at least 5k each, or you are big lucker and gets 3 or more ectos every run, the CoF runs are more profitable.
But this is only my poor opinion, just collect your own experience and please excuse my bad english

Power trading is the best option i think.
I make in a day from 0 to 30-40k but 1st. i need to "invest" some items

Heres an example of powertrading
Say the current armbrace price is +10-15e
you sit in kamadan and look for people selling armbraces...say you see someone selling for +10, pm him and try to talk him down to +5-7 the "hey man, its a 3 ecto difference" or "all i have on me is +5"
then you sell that for +15 drop down to +13 or even +10 depending on what you bought it for and how fast you want to get rid of it...but with tormented weps displayable in HoM armbraces are pretty hot right now so +13-+15 shouldnt be too much of a cocern
if you dont have enough to start powertrading with an armbrace, hell even if you have less than 10k start small, mods like +30 shield(buy for 3-5k, sell for 7-10k) elite tomes are decent power trading material as well as people that need one fast will pay 3-5k more for it(ive sold elite wars for as much as 13k, and monks for 20k) ectos and z keys are also a good medium(z keys sell easy for 5k, try to get for 4.8k or if you're feeling balsy 4.5(tough to get em this low)
Also, as someone above me mentioned, look for people with the WTS Storage Cleanouts and WTS gold items...sometimes you can find some nice skins and pick em up for 5-10k, sell em in kamadan or here on the auction house

maxing Ursan to r10 then doing UW in HM is fast money. You also get occasional Eternal Swords and stuff which is nice.

/agree
Basicaly find somthing that you can do fast and make a gr8 profit from. One of the reasons why Raptor farming is so uber is that we are talking at least 1 gold every 2 runs which is about.... 3 mins maybe.
IF you have a 'good' guild then perhaps you can orginaize a UW fast clearout team. Its remarkably simple there are like 0 pug groups however so dnt waste ur time on finding pugs. the UW can be done in about half a hour if all goes well.
