As traders, we all operate in public under the assumption that everything has its price. This is an assumption that we subscribe to and try to popularize for our own financial benefit. It is an assumption, however, that we often don't actually live by in private. Many of us are also collectors and -- beyond that -- some of us even have that one special item that is simply not for sale. This thread is the place for you to show us your >>>SINGLE<<< untradeable item.
Please don't post giant pics of entire collections. Everyone's already seen them and you're already as famous as you're going to be for having all of those things. This thread isn't about your collection.
This thread is about your undying, passionate, quasi-pathological love for that one item that you won't sell, no matter what. It is the kind of love that a run-of-the-mill collector just wouldn't understand.
If there's a story attached to your special item, feel free to tell it! And please feel free to decorate the picture of your item with hearts (<3), smoochies (:*), and other signs of your affection. Otherwise, how will your item ever know exactly how you feel about it??

I just talked about this in the Past Trades thread, but here it is again. Sorry about the giant black blocks; I had other stuff on there and didn't want to go through the effort of taking a new screenshot. Necro was my first character, Spiteful Spirit was my first elite skill, curses has always been my favorite necro attribute, and Straw Effigy has always been one of my favorite skins, so this thing was just incredible to buy. And it's never leaving.
EDIT: Thanks for the fixin'!

I have an unded Mini Ghostly Hero. I got this gift from an incredible person that I will never forget. I miss him, and I don't know where he is, but I'm so grateful I got to know him. He's done plenty of wonderful things for all his friends in this game. He's a good leader, great sense of humour, a kind heart and will share his time without complaint. I can only hope the rest of the people in this game got to meet someone like him

Well, the req9 14% Longsword I used to own until it was destroyed buy some *******. Oh, I repeat myself, so here's the story:
In mid 2007 Net F. who used to be a friend of mine asked me to help him selling the sword. I should open a Guru Thread, try to sell to some duper and he'd give me some of the Armbraces he'd make profite. I still was naive and poor at the time and I needed the money, so I agreed. Apparently no dupers were interested in the Sword, so times went buy, I made some ectos with trading, and the sword started to somehow interest me. I offered him 2,500e at some point I think. But he refused to sell. Then in mid December I don't know what happened to him, but he asked me if I wanted to buy. I think the price was something between 1100e and 1250e, I don't remember exactly. I agreed, thought some easy profit was in there. One week later I sold to a friend of mine, Dwaynas Minipet, for 1400e. He actually planned to resell it. But short time later in January he decided to quit, and sword quit with him. Well... it was mid or end of April until I realized what an epic, wonderful, lovely sword I had lost. Dwaynas hadn't been ingame for 3 months, but thanks God I had his IM-Number, and I contacted him there, begging him to come online and sell back to me for the price I last sold it to him. I promised to customize it, and so it happened: bought back for 1400e and directly custo'd it on my warrior. Where it would have stayed forever.... if not shit had happened.... -.-

Farmed for days to get it...it was my first green... I was so proud of myself...and I mean I had only been playing like..a month... but I knew I wanted one after seeing a freind with one and looking up where you could get it from...
I guess it just has memories of my early days in guild wars... any of my el tonics or torm weapons...or minis I will sell if I can make a profit...
I know its not rare like most peoples here...but...it's just what I am attached to...

I guess this item isn't really what I had in mind when I started this thread, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that this probably is the only thing I have that I really wouldn't sell.
It's Stza Erza's obsidian helm. Many of you here knew Stza. He was a friend and an officer in my guild and, as many of you also know, we lost him far too soon.
RIP Stza

Probably my Magmas. R8 +29 -2e. I've had good offers and such, i just always find a reason not to sell it. It's my baby, and i'll never find a more perfect Magmas for sale that i can even consider affording... For a while it was my shinobi, but I guess everyone has a price......

I have a minipet celestial rat (like my avatar) wouldnt trade it for the world.
teh bestest is here
Granted they are customized, But i have a set of Purple 13^50 Weapons, Dwarven, Serpant, and Crystalline, q9,10,and 11 in that order. I mean now they are worth about 10e each.. if that, but when i got them back in the day, 4 years ago, they were not cheap at all >.<

For me it would have to my req 9 15^50 fiery dragon sword, cheap as chips these days but back in my nooby days it was the greatest thing since sliced bread and I wanted it ever so badly, and when I did finally rack up the plat to buy one I thought I was the most uber warrior around

Don't have a single item... But no matter how broke, my EL Ooze tonic will stay. A very very special person gave it to me before he knew how special he was to me <3
(others are the ded ooze from my ex and C-rat from my second gl but also my fav and one of the nicest person in gw)

My most memorable drop/item must be the Zealus Oni Blade of Fortitude that dropped while I and Pleikki was chest running in Boreas Seabed.
q9 15^50 uninsc, not that expensive but damn that sword was everything to me, lol.
Custo'd it, acc got bann, so now I gotta chest run for a new one

Been a few minutes since I last posted around here. I see they finally added a place to discus trading. Only took half a decade. 
I have quite a few items that I could never sell, I may eventually give all my stuff away but that's a whole different thing. But these two are by far my favorite pieces The wand isn't super valuable per say but it's the first item I ever "wanted" in the game. I waited a long time to find that wand, not buying anything I didn't need so that when it showed itself I could, hopefully, afford it. The Jitte... well that's just too cool not to love.

Q8 15^50 Dusk Blade.
I would never ever sell this one.
The story:
I was collecting all cantha swords, q8 15^50 (& +5e, but didn't succeed there). I was about to give up on the 15^50 part as well, until one day I had all the luck in the world. First someone messaged me to buy his Shinobi...leaving 2 left to collect. Then Todie sold me the Jitte, which made me quite happy already...2/3 remaining swords on one day. And then Todie, yes, him again, decided to leave me speechless. He gave me the Dusk Blade, for free. He wanted me to have a complete collection, so he decided to get it for me (he traded a very exclusive shield to a friend of his, in exchange for the Dusk).
The Dusk Blade might not be the most beautiful cantha skin, but for me this sword had a tremendous emotional value.
It reminds me of the fact that there ARE very nice people in this game.
Thx once again, Todie! *bows*

Sorry for the necro, but ya, I play a Necromancer ;3
My untradeable would be the very first Glob Of Ectoplasm I've ever gotten.
Untill the day that I die, I will not part from it. My dearest friend who passed away 2 years ago, taught me to farm. I asked him for some money, but instead, he gave me an ecto. I was like, whats this? Completely unknowing that it is used as currency(Always had my trade chat off since its spammed 24/7). He explained it to me, and told me to keep it untill the value of the ecto goes up. I kept it, and kept it. Then I heard my friend was in hospital, and that cancer was seeding out through his body. I was literally shocked. After about a month of chemo's and other remedies, the doctors said it was too late. He passed away shortly after that. Everytime I see that ecto in my storage, I remember the times I spent with him, remember the fights I had with him, and how he always kept on smiling, watching the positives over the negatives. Everytime I see it, it fills my hearth with joy, that somehow, we will meet up again in the afterlife.
That's the story behind my untradeable ecto. I do not put it in the crafting material storage, instead I reserved a special slot for that one ecto, the very first slot in the very first tab, it will remain there, forever.

Reading through the trade forums, trying to get an idea of wth is going on in the markets after not playing for a year ... and I really enjoyed reading through this thread. It's great to know that some of our "untradeable" items have nothing to do with their value.
Mine is Gwen's Broken Flute .. I know, I could junk it, get another no problems, but it holds sentimental value of Really Good Times.
Our small guild of friends used to do chest runs & other farming stuffs as a group. During one of the runs someone was accidentally wielding the flute instead of their weapon, and that person happened upon a very nice drop (back then) of a superior vigor (remember when runes were actually worth something?!). I'm going back almost 5 years here, I know!
We attributed their good luck to the flute ... a few days later we all had one, and from that day onward the group runs commenced with everyone wielding Gwen's Broken Flute.
Glenn passed away much too young after being struck down by a cerebral aneurysm & 2 strokes, but in loving memory of him & to honor the 3 years we enjoyed playing this game together we all still do our runs with beer nearby, clothing optional, and wielding those damned flutes.
It has absolutely no value but it's the one thing I'd never part with.
