Same as above .. I sold my unded Oni for 100k+ around 100e in 2007.
That's what it was worth at the time. Every bit was profit (I won it in one of the Halloween contests).
Loss over time = a lot
Hmm ... sold off my r8 bow collection in 2007/2008, only to see the prices skyrocket on r8's.
I had a 10/10 r7 earth Celestial Staff back in 2006, however it wasn't max damage (it was pc'd at the time around 10k lol). I used it on an Ele for a few months, and when I deleted the character I lent it to a guildie. The guildie eventually stopped playing near the end of that year ... and my staff is still sitting on his account.

for mine...I would have to say just recently I was buying some daggers and was told they were r8 and went to go buy them and didn't pay much attention to the trade window...I know have a nice 30e pair of r13 +5 plaugeborn daggers.
edit: sorry r12
Although there appears to be a new mini on the char I put them on yey

A little more than 5 years ago, I sold a req 8 +15% in stance Sephis Axe for 20k . Also bought it for 1k, so I don't hold ''the worst trade in history of GW'' achievement.

Sold Max Blue r7 fellblade w 11% enchant or stance for 30k I think. Got it for next to nothing. I knew it was rare, but had no idea.
Dozen+ Kuunavangs at 70 - 90 ectos each. My fav mini. Bought it at the peak last year when it looked like supply had finally been used up. Boy, how wrong was I. Kept some of msgs to remind me not to trade any more lol.
Bought or farmed almost 2 stacks of Onyx when they were 7-8kish or more. Sucks to look at them... Would have been worse if I didn't craft and sell a lot of destroyer weapons back then.
Next on my list...

I merched a R7 12>50 purple longsword.
I kept months on my storage but in the end merch it for space.
It was at the time when i still didn't know what is rare and what's not.
Never thought ask a price check for it =(

animal fighter
animal fighta has some good and bad with this:
stygian reaver q10 pre eotn
bought: 160e
sold: 180e
took a break until a few months after eotn
see person I sold it to selling it for 10k
1 week after doa released:
buying gemstones for armbrace
titans 100k/ea
torm 80k/ea
margs 50k/ea
stygians 30k/ea
times 15.
(needed to fight animals with tormented shield)
this make animal fighta not happy now that they are not worth anything
factions chest running in nahpui/raisu (shortly after factions release)
merched the following:
paper fan q11 divine
10% hsr
20% hct prot
celestial staff q8 death
10/20 death
celestial shield q8 tact
+45ench (or stance cant remember)
-2ench (maybe stance)
sold for 40k
q8 celestial hammer
15^50
sold for 10k
jug req9 energy storage
19% hct water
10% hsr
just after sorrows furnace release (the night of the release):
sold yakslapper for 10k (guy probably instantly turned it around for 100k+)
q8 20<50 FDS from chest in sorrows
merched because it wasn't 15>50
back then i basically merched anything that wasn't a sword axe or a shield (hehe warriors)
also if the shield didn't have an unconditional health mod (IE +30hp instead of +45 in stance) I thought it was useless and worth nothing.
merched so many dual mod diamond/amber/iridescent aegis because of this.
(I used to chest run all day errday after factions release).
also I had a white flamberge max q7 in my storage for 6 months then finally merched it for space. wish I didn't my only q7 max drop that I know of.

Sold two Celestial Oxes (yes, I was so lucky I got 2) the day I got them (the festival day) for 20k each. Undedicated ones... The pricing on those now just keeps going up and I just wish I wasn't so low on cash back then.

Bought a r8 tact +30 +10 piercing Echovald for 100k and sold for 250e 4 days later. Good price at the time but now years later would be over 4 times that. I dont think these things count though. Prices you can get now vs when you sold the items years ago. Kind of goes off topic I think. Can throw in selling Ded Vizu for 425e after paying 550e unded.... plus many other rare pet sales but whats the point ? I did good on them at the time.

sold -50hp cresta with monk attribute

Sold R8 Communing 10/10 forbidden staff for 15K (right after the staves got changed to 20/20 inherent)
Runners up:
Sold Wintergreen Sword for 20k, Scythe for 5k (I had extras and that was how much I got them for...it was 2006 and nobody cared about them you know? On a side note I have a full set still, and also 2 pulling bows extra, 2 wintergreen wands for +15/-1 energy regen swap, shield for PVE monking)
Sold 12 Inspiration Embercrest Staff for 3K right when EOTN was new (mainly because I didn't give a damn)
Bought R9 ornate spear for 4 z-keys (back before zaishen title)

I did so many DTSCs back in the day that I got loads of Echo's... But I thought the shields sucked, and the skin was but ugly, although never trying it, just disliked the inv icon, so ended up merching all, also dualmods.. I hate myself for it...
Also, 1 week or so before HoM update did the following: used 11 armbraces to put all torms in HoM (already had all destro's) ended up only having to put in 3, also destroyed a stockpile of unded minis gathering dust on my storage charrs, one week later they were 30-50k ea
all in all, lost ~250e that day :P

Bought a dozen Sephis Axes and Dead bows all r12-8 with varying stats when they were all worth a fair bit. Bought NF Collectors... Logged in.. Stopped playing for around 9 or 10 months. In total I lost about 4.5 mill. Pretty disappointed with myself. Still bugs me.
