Items that have been taken out of the game generally sell for quite a lot.

They got nerfed, and they don't sell for quite alot, since they don't sell. If it'd sell an GWG, it'd go for ~500 ectos probably, not sure though, but there aren't many people who don't want this thing 
krusader
so the general conclusion is that the most exspensive items are only warrior items? why's that?

Imade my first mill, buying a crystalline sword in beacons perch for 150k, from someone who didnt know what they had he was only asking 50k, but i couldnt scam him that bad, so i said ill give you 150k, WOW done deal!! went to international and sold it 4 125ectos!! @ 8k when they traded for 8k!
MOrale of the story buy low , sell high! come to think about it i should have kept that sword, its probably worth alot more!

ROFLCAKES, a guildie sold his gold crystalline sword (req 12) 13>50 for 1 million and that was a fair deal. You could have got another million for the sword quite easily due to the low req.
You abused a newb and it appears you got cheated too.

Next million (I have a bad habit of spending all my money once I max out

You don't make a ton of money in this game by farming. You make it powertrading. With all the high-ticket items out there now, you can make a fortune fairly quickly with the right contact list.
And yes, many of those powertraders use ebay. Once you have more in-game gold than you have any idea what to do with, it only makes sense to 'cash' some of it out. A storage full of ecto is nice and all, but several thousand dollars of actual cash is so much nicer.
Peace,

Not all mega-rich players are ebayers, though. Some of the old-schoolers were around before many of the mega-nerfs took place, when you could get unbelievable drops all day, every day. They made their fortunes in less than 1/10th the time it would take now (probably even faster). I remember the first time I ever did farm Griffons... I think every 3rd item was a gold weapon or shield, literally. But anyone starting now would have to do some serious grinding (or get really lucky) to accumulate a million quickly.

Someone who works hard, earns alot of money, and if you get paid decently enough, you can pay 1 Million gold after each hour of work. I doubt you'll do that by powertrading. So.. Who's doing better? People who take 500 hours to get 1 Million, or someone who takes 500 times less time to get 1 Million. I'd say the second one.
And no, I'm not an ebayer, I don't even farm. I'm just saying people shouldn't bitch about ebayers too much, even though it's against the rules, I still respect ebayers as much as other players. I even respect ebayers more then some farmers. Why? Some farmers think "Damn, I hate farming, but I need money", and farm for hunderds of hours, just work for several hours, and stop whining about ebayers, they're smarter then you are.
And for the non-ebayers. Powertrading can get you alot of money, some trades even gain you several Millions. It's not easy though, you need to know much about prices and know what you're doing, you can make 100K each hour just by sitting in LA.

So buying a sword for 100k and then selling for 20k is your idea of making losts of gold through power trading.Nah what you do is buy say a hod sword for 150k then resell for 400k. You camp the most popular selling towns and look for good deals.

It's not the fact that they are using real money to get game items as I agree with the reasoning that to many their time is worth much more then the ammount of money spent on gold. My reason is simply that it is against the rules they agreed with to play this game and once again it seems the dishonest have a edge over the honest player. A.net is clearly against it so if you do it you are a dishonest player...there is no justifing yourself out of it...but that said I have friends in game that have done it. I just wish MMOs would make a legal format for it, make it legal entirely, or actually crack down on it.

<--- bought a gold 14%>50 crystalline in droks dis3 the other day for 20k. Went to lions dis1 and resold immediately for 100K+90ecto.

In my opinion Anet should cash in on Ebayers.
Why not set up their own shop that undercuts the other ebayers.
Ie: 100k for say £3.50; 200k = £5 etc.
I know that should I ebay, I would prefer to deal with Anet, & they can just add it to your account without the need for face to face trading.

But, I assumed it was some idiot who won HoH with a fame farming group (he paid for fame farming possibly??) I don't really care why he sold it for that price, I just cared that I got that deal.
