Whats the best (in terms of usefulness, collectability, guilty pleasure) thing you ever spent your guild wars money on?
mine would be my 14^50 req 8 Sundering (10/9) Brutesword of Defense that i bought unided for 47k.
second would have to be Malinon's shield.
Best gold you ever spent? (or ecto)

Mine would of been when i bought the Crimson Crapace shield Stance Shield from way back at release ive used it ever since (come one can you really get much better). I payed 2.5k for it back then

Been looking for a damage +14% or 15% in a stance Flamberge for a while, got a req. 8 14% one today for 6k, which I guess is good. Can't really think of much else.

Best gold I spend is paying for Droks armor for guild members who play through the storyline to get there with their first character and don't have the gold to buy it.

For the longest time (before the AoE nerf) I ran Blood+Fire, and used Gordac's Needle and Hook. I paid (wait for it) ........ 17k TOTAL for them both!
Now I have a yummy Blood truncheon +5 > 50%, 18% Blood Recharge, that I usually use instead of the Needle. (At least when +2 energy > 2% recharge)
My MM set was very very well spent money. I bought the wand for 70k and a few months later got Bortaks for 55k.
They have paid for themselves many many many times over.

A couple of weeks ago I was looking for a req. 9 or 10 15^50 storm bow. One was selling on the High End forum and I bid 100K+ecto (forget how much exactly). Then when I was in TotPK going into a b/p run someone was posting something along the lines of:
WTS req. 9 15^50 storm bow no n00b offers pm me.
I offered him 100K on the spot fully expecting him to tell me to F off. He didn't. I bought it right there and then went out and bought a 10/10 sundering string and +30HP grip (n00b mods I know, I have a 15[enchanted] 5/1 vamp, +5 defense stormbow for my "real" bow, but hey, I like the bling you know).
I paid 165K total to make the bow and I saw an identical bow sell for almost twice as much in the High End forum a few days ago. Pretty good buy I'd say. Like...saved 20 ectos.

I was idly looking through armor archives, and I noticed the Mesmer's 15k Noble's armor, and fell in love. I immediately created a mesmer with the sole purpose of getting that armor, and I just finished it a couple days ago. Easily the most satisfying thing I've ever bought.
Sir Mad
A 14 always 9req 10/10 +29 stormbow for 50K, I guess.
Otherwise, if it's about wasting some cash just for the fun of it : FoW armor, definitly.
EDIT - Oh yeah, and dyes... so many dyes... knowing that I was going to waste them. But I wanted the perfect color, and had to try so many mixes for my armors...

The Maguuma Key that got me a good Gold staff for my Mesmer. From memory the staff had +26 Health and +5 Armor and quickened the recharge on Domination spells

Probably that decent little zealous fellblade of enchanting I bought from the auctions here. I can't tell you how cool it has been with that thing. Now I just need to get a better enchanting pommel for it and I'll be set.
zelira
For me it would be the 50g I gave to the Xualai(?) Agent. Extra 20 item slots. 
That or the FoW armor for my necro.

best gold ever spent would be buying 4 hod swords prenerf then selling em for about 375k 6 months later
unienaule
120k / 5k = 24 rockmolders one hour after nerf.
ThunderStruck
Best I've spent is 10k on a Superior Vigor! What was weird was that the trader was buying them for 22k at the time! He took a loss on that one, but he willingly did it!
Diablo???

Wrath Of Dragons

Y.T.
ohhh i dunno...
mb almost all sets of 15k and few sets of fow armor i crafted for 4 my chars... but if we're talking about weapons - prolly best gold i ever spend was few plat for fow entrance where i got nicest items from chests and from mob, and definitely few hundreds plat i've spend on my necro's offhands collection... i dont have war or ranger chars atm so i never had a chance to spend crazy amount of gold on 1 bow or sword

A guy offered up a perfect base req 8 Chaos Axe for like 65k. I immediately said I'd buy it and went to make a trade and was told that someone offered more. I countered and it got to a little over 200k and I got it. Added mods and a week later I sold it for a little over 800k.
1500 for an obsidian key that got me a req 9 Choas 15>50.

Lord Iowerth
Bought a req. 8 15>50 Half Moon (Fiery Defense +5) for 20k ...
I tried to tell the guy it was worth more than that, but he wouldn't hear it. I had just done some skill capping with him (hell, we both needed it) and this was his way of saying "thank you"
I still made him take an extra 10k, just for being so dang nice
