Ever sell or buy something and basically get a "steal" (not literally of course)? Like you got such a good deal you were surprised? I got two of those so it sparked the idea for this thread. If one already exists I apologize, didn't see one.

I bought an Urgoz's Longbow for 50k plus a Forgotten Longbow (same stats, ugly skin in my opinon). The buyer asked for 80k and at the time the Forgotten Longbow was worth 30k and I had 50 cash, so that added up to 80k and he took it.

Today I sold The Ice Breaker. The buy out price was 5k but the person said they didn't have that. Instead they paid me with 2 ectos, and since I will never have FOW armor I used those to get the rest of my superb Charr carvings for my Mo Zing mask.

What about everyone else?

My best bargain: A shitload of Flask of Firewater at 280g-320g each(during some festival). Sold half of it a few weeks after the festival for 450-500 each.

This isn't really a bargain, but i made a good deal. Someone offered me 10k for a +10vsfiredmg shield mod. He was just some very rich person not wanting to wait a lil longer.

When the Zaishen title was introduced, I tried to buy everyones firewater and creme brulees that they got from the chest for very cheap. Got around five stacks of the stuff and sold it later on for nearly double the price I bought it for =)

Traded a major vigor for a black dye lol, that's all I can remember right now.

I got a req.9 Silverwing Bow for 50k a few months back, sold for about 150e later that day.

Murmel · Jul 26, 2008, 11:33 PM // 23:33

This isn't a bargain but still...
Ran a guy from Gunnar's Holdto Olafstead. The price we set up was 1k, he had 15k in his inventory and didn't bother cutting it into 1k so he shoved it all into trade and accepted

That guy made my day hehe.
I have some more, but I can't remember them atm >.<
