I am total noob with weapon prices... mostly q7/8 oldschool items. Things that aren't commonly traded like tonics and dhuum's soul reaper, eternal blades etc. I have probably payed 5-10e too much for a dozen different items.

Also selling q10 crysta for 100k 130e (30 seconds later I got a pm for 100k+135e) Oh well it was a drop from halls. Atleast I didn't delete it with the pvp char like my guild leader did. Haha.

Giving away a Gordac's Needle to my friend back when SF first came out and OoB was big with Boon Prots. I wouldn't exactly call it a bad trade because it was for my friend, but I could have easily made like 75-90k on it at the time, if I remember correctly.

Sold a Celestial Ox for 11K.

A.r.g.h.

That's not the worst that happened to me though, I had a unded Kunna on a old character, deleted her before I placed it in my storage. Remembered right after I hit the 'Delete' button.

That reminds me of when Kuunavengs were dropping and SF greens were still high so I traded my Kuun (~100k at the time) for a Drago's Flatbow. LOL

A friend and I had a chance to get the r7 15^50 Spikey Warhamer back in the day for 100e. This was many many years ago, when you could get a r7 15^50 Spatha for like 150k - anyway, we tried to tell him he could easily get 300e+ even then, and he sold it to someone else for 100e anyway. I think last time it sold on here was around 3000e.

42ecto for Law and order, only to have the mods nerfed from the original stats of the weapon.

I deleted them.

I guess I thought buying a high end minipet would be impressive. Not a single person gives a damn ^^

Oh well, I guess it isn't a bad trade if someone buys it off me.

A friend traded an IG for a El Beetle tonic back when those were all about the same price. :\

Another friend's inactive account has Kanaxai, Panda, and idk what else sitting around.

I think this was more along the lines of a scam, and the offer was too good to be true, but I bit anyways.

I was looking through the party search in Kamadan, when I saw someone selling an unded Zhu Hanaku for 50e, normally, I would have just passed over that, but lower on this list, I saw someone buying an unded Zhu Hanaku for 60e. So, I thought I could just be a middleman, and make off with 10e. Bought it for 50e, the other guy doesnt want to trade anymore as soon as I message him. I should have known something was fishy...

Sold a miniature Grawl Shaman for 120k in my early days. Paid for an elite armor, but my friends still give me crap about it because they still have theirs.

Back when Proph was the only campaign..I had just started playing..and I bought a black bag for 20k. Why? Because it "could hold 20 items". I was quite the champion, if I do say so myself.
Worst trade due to complete and utter stupidity.

bought 15 Unded Celestial Pigs @310e back when they were @ 300e and increasing by like 2/4e every week. Quit for a few months hoping to see them increase even more. Come back, and there @ around 200e. I am angry, so I quit for a few more months and hope price will go back up. Come back to see that they are like 150e around. Cba to do trading anymore...

Bought EL Cottontail for 300e back when they were worth that much.. only used it a couple times, stopped playing GW for half a year... come back, and they're barely worth 120e.

To be fair I bought it when ectos were 3.5-4k, so maybe it evens out if you ignore the fact that I would have a lot more money if I had kept the ectos.

It's only worth something when it has good mods. If it hasn't, it's merchfood. Chances are pretty big it was.

3 years ago a spiked targe would hardly sell, now they are popular. I had a R9 30 -2 it took forever to get 80k for.

Sold mini Naga for 130e (Long time ago, was a good price then). Then a week later the price had jumped up to 180e, At this time 130e was pretty much all the money I had and I was fairly angry. That was also back when Ascalon ID1 was still the shit...We should migrate back there...

Do you remember who you sold the sword and scythe to? I remember buying both for about 25k a while back, maybe it was from you :P

Well thanks anyways for the sweet deal (if indeed it was you)!

Miniature Grawl Shaman for 80k back early after it came out. It was more money than I could ever have wanted at the time, but now it's turned out that I made a terrible deal.
