1. Sword with only mod 10/10 sundering = Iron Ingots.
2. Sword with 3:1 Vamp and another mod = Iron Ingots.
3. Sword with +30 HP fort mod = Iron Ingots.
^ All in a row.
4. Sword with 3:1 Vamp = Just.. guess.

Hi,
Most of my unluckiest things have to do with disconneting at the worst times (Err=7).
1) Was on an unbelievable run in FoW. I got 3-shards before finishing the first quest. By the time we got to the Forge. I have collected 2-golds and 2-obsidian key drops. Just when we entered the forge and started attacking I saw another gold drop for me...Err=7
2) The Halloween Special with the damn Pumpkin King. I had the opportunity to be present twice when he showed up...but never got the Pumpkin Hat!!! The first time, I had someone 'whisper' me about an item I was selling so I left my home server LA...and that clown never did show up in the International LA to trade. Ok. So now I wait 3 more hours on a work night just so I can get my Pumpkin Hat. Great the Mad King comes again. I do all the little dances and tricks. We ge to the Simon Says part. The Mad King says, 'Flex' and so I /flex...and once again Err=7. It's now 03.30 and I have a meeting right away in the morning at work...mad as hell I was.
3) Due to a problem with my mouse I ended up bying 5 or 6 Expert Salvage kits. When I only wanted one.
But the worst is always Err=7

That probably is closer to qualifying as stupid than unlucky, but since you were a noob at the time, it's debatable. 
I did the same thing with a silver dye once, not because I didn't realize what it was, but because I was selling a bunch of stuff to the merchant, and clicked the sell button too fast when the dye was the item. heh. But selling a black dye by accident is order of 10 magnitude worse than selling a silver by mistake...

Lost my henge of denravi sword with a 19% enchant pommel on it

Was on a FoW run when a Obsidian Shard run drops for another player, we get creamed and all die except for a monk. We already had DP on us, but the monks runs away and comes back to res the poor guy with the shard on the hill. Rez's him, he runs for it, and gets killed again. Monk runs away again, rez's him again, the guy gets killed again. We were at 60% DP so I said bye, he may still be there trying to get his shard for all I know....

Sold an unidentified Gold Req. 8 FellBlade for 3 ecto (way below market price but I hate cruising LA for hours on end).
Turned out it was +%15 stance.

Yep me 2. Sold 2 black dyes in pre because of lagg. Keep clicking nothing happened then half my inventory disappeared. Almost needed a new screen!
Ne0nE
Black Dye was dropped during a quest, assigned to me ofcourse, and my internet chose to lag out and eventually disconnect, by which time I had kicked my CPU and punched my monitor 
Also, I went to delete an character, and totally forgot to transfer the money over to another character before deleting... about 20 platinum gone... more of a stupid mistake than unlcuky, but still...

None of this is really unlucky, just dumb on my part.
1) I wanted to buy ectos in bulk once sellers hit 11k (average of price was 12k) but instead they only climbed. I eventually caved in and bought at 13.5-14k.
2) I never realised how lucky I was getting two of my characters through Thunderkeep on first try. On my other two characters I have played Thunderkeep 15+ times with only one succeeding.
3) Bought all 5 monk sup runes at the peak of their price. I've sunk at least 200k+ into my solo monk only to have A.net come out with the aoe nerf. I'm not too worried though, I still like Monking PvE and PvP. I also found out that solo farming was mind excruciatingly boring and only did it 2-3 times.

Got my first (and only) Superior Absorption Rune drop.
Got so excited at the prospect of all that cash (I'm really poor), sold it to the trader for 85k.
Blew the 85k on 15k tats for my monk, then decided I preferred the 1.5k tats.
Salvaged the 15k tats for scrap, then ...
... decided what I really wanted was a Superior Absorption Rune for my Warrior.
What a prune!

I pwn you all. Accidentally salvaged a gold earth staff, rare skin, 9/10, +5 energy, 20% enchant. Got 17 planks out of it.

Here one that almost happened to me last night.
I got my Malinon's Shield for sell and i was in War Camp and typing out "WTS Malinon's Shield PM me..." Well, someone pm and say he was the shield for 90k. I thought sweet.. 90k is more than the current price of 80k. So i opened trade window. Once we get to that point, he show me 90 gold.. not 90k. And he did it twice.... both time i laugh at him for it and he finally close the trade window. This would be worst that i sold my Malinon's Shield for 90 golds!
Oh as for bad things... Salvage a +27 health axe grip and a +22 health staff head for crappy materials.

I give a person 3 times to get it right or I close the trade window. I run into at least one of these bastards a day.

No offense to you people...
But I've NEVER laughed SO hard...
None of my bad things have to do with NetErr=7, or low virtual memory, because my computer is my dream computer. Nothing like that...
But.. There is...
Well, hope you got a kick out of that....
Laugh and be laughed at

- I salvaged a sup vigor and got some cloth... (YAY cloth!)
- Remember that black dye spike? It was a while ago, but the price of black dye topped out at 26k!! I, like an IDIOT, waited for it to go higher.
The next day.. black dye = 5k.
*smack* - I've had a few run-ins with dolts in my group. A couple just left for no reason, but it can't be topped by:
- I was in a group for Defend North Kryta Province, and everything was going fine. We were kicking titan butt. Then, it turns out one of the players I was playing with was a scammer and a few people decided to take revenge on him. So, 4 of the people LEAVE THE STUPID GROUP RIGHT BEFORE WE WIN THE STUPID QUEST. All to get revenge on this person. Unfortunately, I was caught in the cross-fire... I had to start my week-long search for a worthy group ALL over again!
Well, hope you got a kick out of that....

Oh, and about selling the wrong items, I ALWAYS put all the items to be sold to merchant in a separate bag/pouch, even if that means I have to talk to the merchant twice.

It seems that many people are accidently selling things they never really ment to sell. Well im pretty sure everyone knows this, but for those who dont: If you want to sell all your items but want to keep certain items, then put them behind a quest item. Pretty sure everyone knows this, but for those who dont....
Oh yeah, worst thing:
Had a CRYSTALINE SWORD rare drop out of chest in UW, ERR=7.
DAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNNNNN YOUUUUU ERRRRR=7.

I attempted Elona Reach no less then 18 times, with full groups, henchies, EVERYTHING, and I couldn't do it. I did Thirsty River with 4 people, without a Warrior or Elementalist in sight. >.> But for the life of me, I could not do Elona. Then, as it finally closed in, we were about 5 seconds from handing over the last Crystal...BAM!!!! Neterror7. I was so angry, I almost destroyed my computer screen. Yeah. Hardcore...
