Several months ago in a near empty district of HA I saw this:
WTB Flame of Balthazar 100k
I thought it must be some kind of a trick but I gave it a try. Luckily I had one straight from HoH chest. The guy really put 100k in trade window and accepted. GG. Screenshotted.

2 months ago about I got an everlasting trapdoor for 100k+40e. I was actually told this was the price before and someone was selling for that much (though everyone else was still going 100e+) So I didn't necessarily know I was getting a great deal and I don't think the seller didn't necessarily know they were selling HELLA cheap. I knew I was getting it for quite a discount but dang I didn't know how much of a discount i was really getting!
A month later I sold it for 104e :O a profit of about 44e or 220k about. Not bad, eh? helped me reach my first ecto stack ~.^

When I was in pre and I was new, this guy said selling 5 black dye, I PM'ed him and said I'll buy'em how much, he said since its 1 gold ea to the merchant 3g ea, I said ok that fair i guess. We did the deal and for about 2 weeks Im like hmm i wasted my money on this dye. Later that day I joined a guild and asked if anyone wanted free black dyes, myguild leader asked me why I was giving it away, I told him I dont want it and I wasted my money on it, he asked me how much I paid, I told him 3g ea and he laughed and told me that they were worth 9k+. So I kept it and dye my first elite armor black

Ugh, I hate trading in GW, but I guess the best experience I've had would have been selling Icy Dragon Swords back when they were first introduced. Probably made a couple hundred k in a few days, all very painless and quick.

Well i'm not much of a high end trader. Just haven't seen anything I've really wanted to spend my wealth on. So these aren't "Wow!!! I'm wealthy!! stories", but they were good deals.
First, I found a Celestial Axe, old school 15^50% with perfect mods for 80k on a different auction site. I love the celestial skin so I couldn't resist buying it. Oh, did I mention it was Req 8? I used the axe as my primary weapon for a few months until I found a similiar Req 12 version. I sold the Req 8 then for 100k +11e.
Next, I like mini pets and I found a mini grawl for 5k on that same auction site. I didn't have a grawl yet and 5k sounded like a decent price so I bid. A second after clicking "make bid", I noticed that it was dedicated. Awwwww, dang it! I have no interest in dedicated pets so I really wished I could have retracted, but on that site I couldn't. Oh well, the auction wouldn't close for another week. Hopefully someone would outbid me.
I waited....and waited....and waited. No bids. The auction finally closed and I got stuck with a 5k pet i didn't want. Okay, no biggie. It's just 5k. Maybe I can unload it in town later. I put the thing up for auction here the next week and it sparked a bidding war and ended up selling for 40k.

About two years ago a guy was spamming "selling unid gold axe" so I figured I'd look into it. When he opens the chat menu and puts in a q11 Serpent axe, I have no idea what it is (and I had been playing for a year) so I was a bit confused, but he only wanted 2k for it, so I bought it. After a bit of research, I ended up selling it for a very princely sum, but I can't remember how much.
