Spent 60k on the rockmoulder back when it was 20/20, sold it a day later for 70k. Then the next week it got fixed, poor guy who got it, payed 70k for a common mesmer offhand :P

25k for Book of Secrets, 20k for a NightBringer.....I don't buy expensive items because i don't see the point in buying a Weapon for the Skin.

powertraders are strange people...

if i had this amount of money i would sell it for real cash.

made about 4mil. by just playing the game so far and spent most on drunkard and sweet tooth title because i really wanted to max the maxed titles title once before it was updated last time

PS: what will the super rich players do once GW2 is out and GW is dieing? Just let the cash rot unused?

This could have been one of the most thought-out GW item. (and it probably also illustrates how stupid people can get)

WTF ?

From an economists standpoint, it is very easy to see how a "power trader" could make a ton of gold in a game like this. Re-selling items can yield lots of gold in an unregulated market. Example: buying a hard to find item for 150k and then selling it for 200k. Now think about doing that on a higher scale a few times a day. Easy gold if you know what you are doing.

Lol now that's just great.

Oh, yes a mini Kanaxi (only... what, 8? in existance) could easily go for 80 million.

12 K for Tanzits Axe to another player sure was cool back then and 15K to a merchant for armor

LOL @ THAT THREAD.

Missed that. Everyone in that bid war fails at the game. Why? They need to buy something which they have no earned to try to make them look cool. The fact that that was even allowed to be sold is pathetic, all minipets and special features such as that cape trim should be account custimized so that its only what you have earned.

The most I have sold something for was probably about 150k, I keep everything thats worth anything generally so its pretty hard for me to sell high high end items, if I won mini kanaxi for example I wouldnt sell it.

fgarvin · Dec 10, 2007, 06:32 PM // 18:32

Does time spent collecting collector's items count as money spent? If not, my FoW armor...took 19 months to earn the money.

You can't even see these damn skins whilst you're playing...

And who remembers what some guy in a PUG was using five minutes after the run?

If thats your view, just use tex mod and never spend a penny on high end armor and weapons.

I suppose if I'm the first to find the special something in the Zaishen Chest, I could buy a summer home.

100k + 12 Ectos for a +1 Death Magic Staff Wrapping, was dated 12/27/05 so i forget how much ectos were worth back then.

When you take that perspective you get really amazed to hell again. And how the hell someone can get so much gold. thats just impossible I mean. The guy gotta be someone who has unlimited money in real and doesnt has to do anyting so just farms(or goes gold sellers or uses bots which ı wont wish the case to be

)

zknifeh · Dec 10, 2007, 08:00 PM // 20:00

That deal seemed very dodgey though as the next day zoren was selling for a b/o of about 100k+1500e+90arms, does that seem logical for someone who bought it yestersay for so much more?
