I like golds because generally the 'prettier' max dmg skins are found on gold weapons

Depends on:
- Price (and available money)
- Mods
- Skin

Let's say I want an Eternal Bow for my ranger.
I ask around and get 2 offered (both max damage)
1. 15^50, +30HP, Vamp. Price 50K (just example, don't know real price)
2. 14^50, +28HP. Price 10K.

I'd go for the second bow, because I think the extras on the first one are not worth the 40K.
On any other bow, I would probably not pay 10K at all for those stats,but I want the Eternal Bow skin.

When I have 2m gold available, I buy the first bow.
The 40K would not even hurt. And it's probably the better investment.

I care more about stats than skins...

but there's also something like -rare stats- or harder to get stats.

Look around and try to find a shield with req9str -2stance +30.
In PvE those aren't readily available from collectors or crafters. The only way to get thim is by getting the greens: bulwark and shelter or by finding a gold or a base gold which can be upgraded.

Personally i think rare items are awsome, especially if you want to try crazy builds... Althought i think most people are driven by the rarity of the skin of some items instead of their actuall use.
1)I consider rare items the ones that have very low req and max damage or near max damage, because you can allocate the extra attribute points to something else(sometimes vital).Collector items are crap because minimum req is 9.So yes a gold sephis axe req8 15^50 6-21 is a rare item.A gold oni blade req8 15^50 is too(my favorites so far)
2)Rare items dont have to be gold. I would prefer the blue or purple IDS req 7 15-22 13^50 from another 15-22 req 9 15^50.
3)Rare skin doesn't excuse the extreme prices we can see people selling junk. Rare skins are mostly connected to reselling for profit and only.
4)If you like a skin, you can have it at a low to medium price supposing you don't get yourselve's blinded by the color and only.

value is in the eye of the beholder.

I use collector and/or weaponsmith items but if another item drops with the same functionality, I'll replace it. I'm not going to go out of my way to spend money on things that will do the exact same thing. Pretty much the only thing that I've spent a lot of money on is my complete collection of Prophecies and Factions greens but that's just because I need something to collect to stay in a game.
