unded ghostly hero.... bought for 750e, sold for ~2300e

so it was ~1550e win in 1 day.... (it was like 18month - 2 years ago)

Technically all of those are two trades... :P just had to put that out there.

For me, it was about 100e back when everlasting phantasmals were worth quite a bit. Picked it up for about 150-200e equivalent (bought with keys), and then sold it for about 300e, cant remember exactly.

Got a R10 20/20 Fire staff back in the day (was a bit after the "fire wand" skin came out and ofc this was one of them) from a bot spammer for 40k in Droks. I miss those days.

Anyway, posted on here and it got up to 1.6 million. Would have gotten more if it was just a little sooner. With all the new changes people though it might affect the rarity of them. (was also right before the new 20% HSR all on most staves)

You're a noob trader Stuey

Bought an unidentified Bo-Staff for 1k in Droks back in early 2007. A req9 DF one, turned out to be 20/10 and sold for 70k to Nub Of Asgard or somebody, actually that was the first time I ever came across that annoying nub, who thinks he has a great collection, but scams of perfect req8 shields, and.... oh wait, I'm a bit joking here

unded shiro'ken, bought for 550e, sold for 2.2k (buhuu), other then that r7 +5e dadao, bought for 400e, not 100% sure what its worth now. First one is kinda lame cause I just bought it when they were worth 550e and sold when they were +- 2ke.. Same with the dadao tbh >, best 1 day trade I made was unded oni for 95e, sold for 350e >_>

When I still was in real GW bznz before hack and stuff:

Bought unded. Mini Beetle for 2100e - sold here: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/m...64#post3243364


Bought an unded. Mini Panda in September 2008 for 4.4k or so and sold for around 5.8-6k, hard to say the exact price.... that's my biggest ones for absolute ecto profit I'd say.

well... way back... what shall I say. Actually I just posted here because I wanted to say: That Magmas was awesome Joe, I hate you for selling it

So...according to my calculations, you essentially made 17500e profit from a single dedicated Panda. Seventeen thousand five hundred ecto. Or 875 arms (current market). I don't pay any attention to the value of asian minis, but is a ded panda really worth even close to that?

On topic, uh...I bought a tormented str shield once for 15e and sold it about 90 seconds later for 24e.

I'm obviously not a power trader, but the time vs reward for that one was fairly decent.

That was one year ago, you can see the thread on oct 2009.
Panda was at 15-16ke, and armbs at 40e.

Now people is selling panda at 9-10ke and vizu's at 7ke... when I sold that the asian minis were more xpensive ^^

I don't have any huge profits but here are a few of mine.

I'm working toward my wisdom title so I have been buying lots of gold unids. I got a Zodiac Staff to id in one trade. It turned out to have good mods, paid 700g for it sold it for 100K.

Another trade I had was a while back. Bought a r13 Obsidian Edge for 25e and resold for 70e when they were worth a bit still.

I have 3 funny ones. Bought a chaos axe r8 15^50 mid chest run in Fow While moving for 45k. Resold it after the run for 300k in cash. 3 trades with just good game honesty. Felt great. That was in 06. The good ol' days.

Other one.. I bought ecto and sold it. Bought 500e over a few days and sold it all for a markup of 2.5k per on average.

The last one was buying an unident r9 eternal shield for 2k and selling it later that week for 225k. It was +30 +10AL vs Fire. That one made me smile. Again.. 06'

So i was just chillin in Kammy with my el trapdoor tonic showing bout.... feb or march this year, when someone pmed if if it was an EL tonic and if it was for sale. told him it was and that it wasn't for sale. then i think i made a comment bout "if the price was right i would sell" or sumthin along those line. he said 1000e. i thought he was joking and i was like "naah, sry man". then he said 1250e. i said something like "well i guess i could part with it". knowing that i could easily buy another one for 45e(at the time was 45-50e), if not i lose nothing from open trading.... So i open traded my EL and he posted 5 stacks of ectos. he hit accept, so i hit except So fast! Amazing? of freakin course!
I know some, more like most all of you, would not believe this. but i really don't freakin care what u believe. haha. all i know is i have a set of obby on my rit, r3 zaisehn (which i should not have done, but i got a statue now . and i used to have a ded zhed (lost now, due to some stuph i Don't even want to talk about :/. Along with miscellaneous weapons ive always wanted, until i sold a few things to get my zhed.... *sniff sniff

So by my calculations, that makes a 1205e profit.

bought about 25 stacks rott-orr-emblems for 30g/emblem, next week nicholas collected them... (just been lucky, didn´t know ofc ), sold them for 100g/ea in average. was not the best profit, but I was happy nevertheless
another one was an inscr. 6/14 skull shield bought for 2k, sold right after for 70k :-)
bought a q8 -2wE +10vs demons shield for 50k, got offers up to 100k+60-70e, but refused, cause it was firm part of my collection... well maybe I´ll sell to be able to afford some nice stuff like other oldschool shields

Well, I dunno bout the rest, but i wouldn't call myself a good powertrader... It's mostly about luck. You just need to see someone sell something, be lucky he sells it very cheap and be fast cause there are more like you around there, looking ... You need to know prices of stuff for this though... It's not that you require any skill for it... Only thing you do need sometimes is money you know the saying.. You need money to make money this is aspecially true in this business :P
