Off the top of my head I remember buying the PCGamer with the mini destroyer offer because I had heard you could sell it for around 100k (I heard wrong
). As I went to sell it I found out the highest I could sell it for was about 15k if I was lucky. I still had my hopes up and went to sell it for about 30k. When I was about to give up, 2 people said they wanted to buy it. They got in a bidding war and the final offer that won was like 65k and a combo of diamonds and onyx gemstones that ended up equaling about 110k.
I was very happy and, after much grinding, I got my main (a ranger) norn armor.

Sometime in March I was vanquishing when someone shouted in AC that they're having a bank sale. I asked, "what items?". He then proceeded to list a pile of crap BUT there was an eternal blade mixed in there!
I mapped out of my vanquishing to his GH. Bought the req 11 eternal blade for 10k.
I swear. I would not take 3 mins of my life to make a lie on a forum for a broken game.
