Buy low and sell high is part of the game. I have done it plenty of times. You are telling me that if someone posted a WTS of Urgoz Longbow for 70K you will no buy it? Yeah right, I was just walking and picking out henchies when I saw a person posted this...I did not bargain any lower, I just gave him the amount he asked for and purchased it. In his eyes he got a good deal, in my eyes, I got a good deal. So isn't that what we are here to achieve? Where both party leaves the transaction satisfied?
Haggling is a different story.
Most money you ever had..

The most I have had is about 120k that is a RIDICULOUS assumption.
it is FAR, FAR more common to make money off of someone who is just to plain flat lazy to sit in trade channels for 5 hours buying/selling their item for a reduced/extra 20% of its value, than it is to "newb farm" aka find someone who has absolutly no clue what the item is worth and would thereby sell it for incredibly low.
any trader who tries to stick exclusivly to the latter isnt going to make very much money.
i have heard your argument many times before, and one thing is always in common with people who make it; they have no idea what the hell they are talking about.

It's not "newb farm"ing... its "noob hunting"

815k this morning, took a break for 1/2 an hour, came back, someone had hacked my account and taken 400k of that. So I said **** it, I was waiting to get to a million before buying skills, but I'll just buy them all now, and I have gone and bought most of them, + all of the cap sigs I need for all elites. Maybe someone will take pity on me and give me what I lost. Oh yeah, and they took my kunavaang, the one I got with my collectors edition, hydra, jade armor, and IDS, and a few others. So ya, 815k was max, + mini-pets and stuff I could have sold to bring me to about 1 mil.

So let me get this straight... you are saying you FARMED 8750 ecto? Just from UW farming. Do I have the word 'stupid' written across my forehead, or am I just over-exaggerating?

haha if you want to see it by next tuesday, I'll have to get my credit card out 
I imagine if I didn't go to classes at all and just stayed home and power-traded, I could get near the 500 ecto mark, maybe even 750. Apart from that, it might take a little longer, since I'm buying FoW Ranger armor some time next week...
