The best bargain you ever got
Tinytim666
i had a elemental sword req11 that i sold for 100k 5ecto. that was pretty much a couple weeks before people were doing the raptor farm
Ashe.
I needed Deldrimor Steel for my Elite Judge monk armor and wasn't going to pay the merchant price for what I needed...so I was running CoF with these people and asked if they had any and the one person said they had about 80 or so and when I asked how much they said however much the price of steel ingots was at the time (the person thought we were trading steel ingots) and I ended up getting double the amount of deldrimor steel I needed (obviously for that price I bought all they had) and ended up making a 30k+ profit.

back when they just introduced minipets to be allowed to be shown in town made a killing selling unopened presents for 80-100k ea had about 50 of em.
also had a guy run up to me in ascalon city and gave me 100k for nothing was gonna give it back thinking that he gave it to the wrong guy but he promptly got off and i never seen that name come up again on my friends list.

One of my best buddies gave me a r10 inscribable Sunqua Blade for the merchant price. It's now dyed black and converted for monk use.

- Req10 Legendary Sword for 20k while they were 100k+;
- Req13 Stygian Reaver for 17k, they were in the 80-90k range back then;
- Req9 Mot. Amethyst Aegis for 60k, saw them going for 100k-ish;
- Req10 Str. Gloom Shield for 25k, again in the 100k range when I bought it.
Didn't sell anything, I still use those... except the Leg. Sword which I merched by mistake. But got back later on

Selling a deadsword right before their price skydived. I've never ever been that lucky.
I also bought a pretty perfect iridescent aegis for 35k. They guy told me he went down from 100k+ and in desperation sold it as such. I've held onto it ever since.

Acouple weeks after Nightfall came out, I bought an Colossal Scimitar q9 for 30k and resold for 100k+100 ectos. At this time, it was probably the first Colossal Scimitar in the game and was pretty much priceless. They ended up being worth over 1 mill, but by time I sold it the prices had went down, but either way I made over 700k in profit. The guy first wanted 150k, and some how I talked him down to 30k. lol. There was no price on them, so no neither of us knew how much they were worth... nobody knew. I had it for over a month before I sold it.
Funny thing is, the whole time I had it, I tried selling it on auction for only 100k startin bid, and there was no bids at all for acouple weeks, so I didn't bother selling it for awhile... until of course, people started farming them when HM arrived. Then prices dropped within acouple weeks of people finding them. If I would of sold it 2-3 weeks earlier, I would have made probably around 2-3 mill +.
Is that a steal? or what?
That guy probably was killing himself over it when people started wantin them and found out how much they were worth. I know I would have.

Then some guildies and allies were feeling generous so they gave me a free mini Koss and elf. Bought a mini juggernaut and harpy ranger yesterday for 8k each. They're worth more than that according to the prcie guide here on Guru. |

I saw a roller beetle (the good ones) in town and asked the guy if it was for sale. He said he had a buyer for 100e. I said I will double that price and he said sure...so I paid 200e. Scooby pmed me and said he had a buyer at 1750e and so he would pay me 1250e. That sounded pretty sweet to me! So Scoobs changed districts and sold it to the waiting buyer for 1750e. So I made 1050e in under 24 hours and Scooby made 500e in approximately 24 seconds. Those were fun times, lol.
I had a random chinese farmer open trade with me for no apparent reason and say.. "3k. ok. you buy. ok." Heck yeah I paid 3k! It was gold max r8 15^50 longsword. Sold it for 100k. LoL.
Another time, lol, I was selling r10 ele sword back when they were not merchant food... This guy offers me the price I wanted. For some reason I delayed hitting accept and he thought I was waivering. So he says here, I will add this into the trade and he puts up gold max r7 15% stance butterfly sword. I still have that one in my collection of junk somewhere, lol.
Worst buy... paying 500k for r11 colossal sword about 2 days before farm secret leaked out and selling it a week later for 30k... I still dont like to think about that one!

Worst luck...buying a pair of 15k Warrior boots with Knight's Insignia (before Insignias / NF were out, that is). Less than 5 minutes later, a new update. After loading it, it turns out Knight's Insignia damage reduction was no longer global -.-
Since I was getting my Warrior PvP ready, 15k + mats down the drain right there >.>

After so many trades I cant really remember the best, never had too big luck 
. I think that req12 runic blade for 100k was my best, sold it 2 mins later for 100k+60e in ascalon int1 (when it wasnt dead and runics did worth something). Also, recently bought a req9 obsidian edge for 100k+70e (or a bit more idk), sold to a guy for 100k+150e 10 mins later (saw him bidding on guru on other obsi edges).

A few weeks after the Destroyer minis had come and gone (and I had one on each account from the mags), I asked in KC one day what they were going for then. Someone said they had one they'd sell and when I asked how much, he said 5k (unded, btw). Snagged it posthaste.

Yeah, this was me! For a guild member. I did not want to wait so I paid a premium for it. thanks by the way
"This isn't really a bargain, but i made a good deal. Someone offered me 10k for a +10vsfiredmg shield mod. He was just some very rich person not wanting to wait a lil longer."
My best was a first year BD present that I got in pre-searing for 500 gold. I opened it and got a Necro Horseman and sold it for 15K.

Bought a perfect req9 tyrian chaos axe for 45k and sold it 2 hours later for 75k..so 30k profit in 2 hrs, not so bad...
I really doubt u got 250k+ profit from that trade..
15 gemsets X13k +10e+10k - (100k+10e) = 105k net profit
Did i miss something or maybe you need take math course again?
