What is the WORST trade you ever made
carnage-runner
Filled my Hom with Tormented weapons when braces were 50e each... They then sharply dropped off to about 30e in the next 2 weeks.. then settled at around 20-25e... To say I was annoyed would be accurate. I didn't care too much but.. still. It was a fair bit of ecto.

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. |
I'd say the worst trade i ever made is when i bought 4stacks of SPECIAL PRESENTS for 100k (they share skin with wintersday gifts and it was quite a bargain to get 4 stacks for 100k) unfortunately i was too greedy to even check for traps (didn't know there were any) and clicked accept :-(
it was more of a scam than a trade but still...

Probably a couple of days ago, got excited as all noob poweertrader and bought a EL 6th year white Tonic for 35ish ectos.
When relogged the day after, the prices was already dropping dramatically.
I've been "lucky" tought cause i've found someone even more noob than me, who bought for 28e....lost 7e instead of 20 at least.

sold an EL phantasmal tonic for 100k when the Zaishen title had only just come into place. Found out afew months later when I actually understood what an ecto was, that I could of sold it for 250e+ Got it by using just 1 Zaishen key also. Haha, Pwnt.

Merched a dual-mod echo with a +10 vs demons mod on it (I think the other was +44/enchanted, but I'm not sure). Had no idea what it was worth, just started checking guru a few months later and it stuck in my mind. Got it sometime either during my canthan vanquisher or while getting kurzick faction. I just saw it was a shield that wouldn't work well on a hero. Would've been set had I known.

I traded 26e for one onyx gemstone.
Granted, it was so they could buy me a tormented weapon as I was too lazy to sit in Kamadan myself, but it still LOOKED terrible.

Guy 1: WTS Q9 VS 55e
Guy 2: WTB Q9 VS 75e
Not close to each other, here was early in the morning (not full waked up...), 20e of profit made the rest....i've started to fear got scammed when the second quitted the trade for some stupid reason.
At least i'm managing to get something out of it (already traded for q10+ectos, looking foward selling it), but still disappointing...and probably will lose some cash if i'll do final count.

Dark King Assassin
very long time ago back when i only played gw for like 2 months or so i didnt know the prices of anything infact i didnt even know what ectos were.
So when i was sitting in kama once this guy came up to me and asked if i could carry some of his stuff from 1 account to another and the guy gave me a mini ded vizu in reward O_o (yes i know its strange).
So i went around showing off in GtoB( not like i knew how much it cost.) Then someone pm'd me and offered 100k+50e and of course i was a TOTAL NOOOB and accepted it. I was soo angry when i realized how much it REALLY cost.

In my first few months (2005) i was exploring Mineral springs a few times and had some Icy Dragon Swords drops... at that time that weapon had a blue text and all i knew was that blue text weapons werent so good; i didnt know much about the weaponupgradesystem, so i thought they were useless and merched them (not 100% sure but i think they sold for 75-100K at that time). /duh

I think it was a big mistake to sell my r9str -2ench +10vs demons Diamond Aegis for ~100e...
when nowadays worse skins with same mods can get like 400e+ :P

Trading is like gambling, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Most of the bad trades I've made though, is because I trusted someone I shouldn't have for advice and they ripped me off...V
