playingames · Feb 03, 2008, 04:17 PM // 16:17

nice, a lot of ppl have some nice trades, anyway forgot to post one of my best sell imo, (personal dont have much great sell as i rarely buy to items to sell them off for a profit), anyway my best was sell was a req 10 14^50% ivory bow for 5k; this was before factions came out, when runes like sup abrob was like 100k; then a few days later saw someone in la spamming a req 10 15^50% ivory for 10k which i manage to get it for 8k, which i still have and use on my range to now. since, i didnt need the 14^50% anymore i thru it up on guru auction and manage to sold it for 24k. so i got a 11k in profit and a new bow

After searching for about 2 weeks I had bought a Mini Greased Lightning for 2000E in October 2007 - it took me about 2hours to sell it for 3500E

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...64#post3243364

Ah... and in September I had been looking for a Mini Ghostly @ 800E for about 3 weeks, but couldn't find one. One evening - i had nearly given up - i was just relaxing at Ascalon Int.1 when someone spammed 'WTS Mini Ghostly'.
When I asked him how much he was looking for he told me that 500E would be fine.

Sold the Ghostly for 1150e+1Armbrace some days later

Slabby · Feb 03, 2008, 04:53 PM // 16:53

Back in the days when I was a complete noob I found a guy selling a purple crystalline for 10k. I don't remember exact stats but it was something with hex + high req.
Ofc I bough it and resold it here on guru for approx 100k+15 if I remember correctly.

Another great deal would be the req.8 15%^50 Shadow Bow I bought for 20k in LA a few weeks later after the Crystalline. It was unmodded so I modded it with perfect sundering and fortitude. Sold it two days later for 100k+20.
From that day I always modded my weapons to sell, poor me.

Veripare · Feb 03, 2008, 05:17 PM // 17:17

I sold an Ironwing Flatbow a long time ago that was req 8 and had perfect mods.

I forgot what I sold it for but it was definitely over 9000.

dubiel005 · Feb 03, 2008, 05:31 PM // 17:31

my best i bought a mini bone dragon for 20k. sold it for 150k the next day.

Cherng Butter · Feb 03, 2008, 06:06 PM // 18:06

Bought req. 9 death Wayward Wand for 500g

Sold it a while later for 30k

Not a huge "difference", but pretty good % increase wise :P

Prof Of Black · Feb 03, 2008, 06:45 PM // 18:45

Made all my cash with trading, so I'm sure I can find some nice trades I made.
Too bad I cant really remember them

When colossal scimitars began getting more common, because people started to farm them the price range was really big: 50k to 100k + 100 ecto.
In that weekend, I traded like 8 colossals and made 250e total

Bought a q9 zodiac longbow for 3k, sold it 2 mins later for 100k..
Made tons of trades like the last one

Also traded zodiac items when people started farming them.
Bought them for around 20-100k and sold for 100k + 5 to 100k + 60..

My biggest ownage:
Bought a shiroken for 460e, sold it the next day for 460e, because the price was really unstable.
Next month shiroken was 1000e.. gg.

Hehe, I remember you couldnt choose: sell or not to sell for 460e ^^. Well, everyone does mistakes.
I had a trade-chain (I overpriced 3 items actually ><), I ended up in like -100k at the end -.-.

Mickey · Feb 03, 2008, 07:13 PM // 19:13

I had quite a streak yesterday night.

Hero FFFed, gave my guildie 30 k.
Bought a enameled shield for 10 k.
Modded it and sold it for 36 k.
Bought a pair of r9, inscribable Dragon Scythes for 20 k.
Traded for an r13 Stygian Reaver (yes I know, they are worth more than an r13 stygian). Now I have a sick ass caster axe.
