This OP is updated with posts made on or before Feb. 29, 2012
*** List includes: |Green Items|Endgame Trophies|DoA Armbraces, Gems & Tormented Items|Oppressor's Weapons|Weapons of Purity|Wintergreen Items|Zaishen Coins|Hero Armors|Equipment Packs|Certain Traveler Rewards|more|
*** Each price or price range has a date. Ranges may be based on reports up to six months older than the listed date. To the right of the price is the number of reports in that period.
***
The main lists are organized by primary profession, then by attribute requirement, then weapon type, and finally by campaign.
Use your browser's search feature to find a particular item - it is a long list.(In most Windows browsers, use Ctrl-F to search.)
Listed prices are based on replies to this thread. If you disagree with a price quote, reply with your own findings. Each item has some notes and a date when that line's price was last updated. Ranges cover reports from the date listed and up to six months earlier unless otherwise noted. The number of reports in that period is noted after any price information.
Attention to anyone editing this OP - please be sure to also edit the date (month and year) and number of reports on the item's line when you edit its price quote. (This should help out when trying to determine how recent and accurate a sample the price data represents.) There is an "** Update Log **" at the end to record general notes about changes.
Attention to anyone replying with prices - please be careful to specify the exact item when reporting. Some items, like "Staff of the Forgotten," have many different variations. We won't know where to record your data unless you're specific. Thanks.
Please do reply if you know of an item missing from the list so it can be added. First note, however ...
Like all PC threads, this is not the place for discussion or requesting to buy and sell items. Replies asking to add missing items are fine, but do not reply asking for missing prices - if we knew them, we'd edit this list with the information.
Each item is supposed to include a link to its page on the official Guild Wars Wiki. If you notice a broken or incorrect link from this page, please do let us know. Any problems you find on the Wiki pages themselves should be addressed on the Wiki and not reported here.
Non-max greens, aka starter-island greens, will not usually be listed here. These items are normally useful to only newer characters starting out and are not at all easy to sell in normal player-to-player trade. In the event a non-max green becomes popular, it will be listed and marked with the note "nonmax"
(endgame) – This item is one acquired by trading in one of the end-game reward trophies for the specified campaign. While the price of trophies can be used as a rough guide to estimate the value of these greens, remember that each specific reward greens' attribute, stats and skin may affect its popularity.
(nongreen) – While this item is not green-texted, its stats are such that it can be listed here on a unique item PC baseline.
(nonmax) – This item is not max damage, armor, or energy, but it's popular enough to warrant listing here.
(HoM) - On Oct. 8, 2010, ANet released the Hall of Monuments Reward Calculator showing what rewards people would get in GW2 for items added to their halls in GW1. As a result, the demand for items which give rewards went up. If you see this HoM note on an item's line, be aware that the surge in demand raised prices, at least temporarily. Listed price ranges are still based on replies up to six months before an item's date note, but the current "going rates" may be higher.
merch - Users report they simply trash, give away or sell this item to the merchant rather than waste time selling it.
<number>reports - There were this many reports in the listed range about this particular item in the 6 month period up to the date mentioned. (Time frame may be other than 6 months in noted exceptions.)

In general, one can estimate the average value of any crafted weapon by adding the crafting fee plus the cost of materials and any attached upgrades/mods. It is not unusual to find sellers charging more for convenience or less because they've crafted a weapon for themselves and no longer need it. The prices listed here do not cover every craftable weapon, and the prices quoted are for the base weapon without considering the cost of attached mods/upgrades. (See the "Weapon Mods & Inscriptions Price Guide" for those.) Please note, this guide does not cover each individual weapon from these families because the price variations aren't high enough to warrant breaking them out. Usually, items for popular attributes will have an easier time fetching higher prices.
The prices below are the estimated crafting cost as of the date mentioned.
Existing Tormented Weapons It is not unusual to find sellers charging less than the going rate for an Armbrace for existing Tormented Weapons. How much less varies on the seller's willingness/need to sell and the popularity/demand for the specific Tormented item in question.
The range for existing Tormented Weapons in general is reported to be 119-154k(HoM, Jul. 2010, 3 reports.)
Unlike Candy Cane weapons (which probably aren't valuable enough nor sold often enough to warrant listing here,)Wintergreen Weapons were awarded only one Wintersday season, 2006, and have inscription slots. Some are in higher demand than others, often as caster weapons and shields or adrenaline builders.
Demand seems to peak just before or during the Wintersday event in game, so the ranges listed for Wintergreen Weapons cover reports from up to a year before the date mentioned.
This section is for reward weapons and related items from the new Guild Wars Beyond content. To date, that includes the War in Kryta and Winds of Change.
Oppressor's Weapons(HoM, nongreen, Dec. 2011)56-120k(3 reports) NOTE: Like the craftable weapons and Tormented weapons above, there are many different Oppressor's Weapons. Each costs the same 10 Medals of Honor to craft. (Note that Medals of Honor can not be traded between players.) Like other families of weapons, player to player prices may vary with the popularity of a specific weapon's attribute and buyer/seller motivation. As of now, there are not plans to break this list out into individual weapons.
Commemorative Weapons(Oct. 2010)See listings for specific Commemorative Weapons in the lists below. They do not drop from foes. Instead they come from a crafter much like endgame reward greens for each campaign. Like Oppressor's Weapons these require 10 Medals of Honor to create; however, they are greens with fixed stats and cannot be placed in the Hall of Monuments like the Oppressor's Weapons, so the demand for any specific green may be significantly less.
"War Supplies"(HoM, Dec. 2011) No longer tracked on this thread. War Supplies from the War in Kryta content may be exchanged for Medals of Honor (which cannot be traded between accounts.) These medals can be exchanged for the green Commemorative Weapons or Oppressor's Weapons.
They also have use as personal consumables, and more and more players seem to use them for this purpose instead of WiK weapons. Therefore, in Dec. 2011, we no longer track them on this thread. Please find and report War Supply trades on the consumables price guide from now on.
Weapons of Purity(nongreen, Dec. 2011) No reports posted Each of these weapons costs the same 15 Ministerial Commendations to craft from the NPC, Iza Yoi. As of now, there are not plans to break this list out into individual weapons. Unlike Oppressor's Weapons above, these weapons cannot be added to the Hall of Monuments Valor monument. However, they are all max, r9 inscribable items that can be modded, like Oppressor's Weapons.
Imperial Weapons(nongreen, Feb. 2012) No reports posted Each of these weapons costs the same 15 Imperial Guard Requisition Orders to craft from the NPC, Shen Xi. (Note that Imperial Guard Requisition Orders can not be traded between players.) As of now, there are not plans to break this list out into individual weapons. Unlike Oppressor's Weapons above, these weapons cannot be added to the Hall of Monuments Valor monument. However, they are all max, r9 inscribable items that can be modded, like Oppressor's Weapons.
Imperial Dragon Weapons(Feb. 2012)See listings for specific Imperial Dragon Weapons in the lists below. These are greens with fixed stats which do not drop from foes. Instead they come from a crafter much like endgame reward greens for each campaign in exchange for the Winds of Change end reward trophies, Imperial Dragon's Tears. (Unlike other endgame reward trophies, Imperial Dragon's Tears can not be traded between players, but the green Imperial Dragon Weapons can be.)
With the June 2, 2011 Update Zaishen Coins became tradeable between players, and a few new weapons were added to the list of possible rewards.
Gold Zaishen Coin(nongreen, Dec. 2011)13-17k(2 reports) A single Gold Zaishen Coin costs 50g and 10 Silver Zaishen Coins to craft from the NPC Pokhe. The net cost is 150g and 500 Copper Zaishen Coins.
Silver Zaishen Coin(nongreen, Jan. 2012)1.5-2.24k(4 reports) A single Silver Zaishen Coin costs 10g and 50 Copper Zaishen Coins to craft from the NPC Tesla.
"Zehtuka's Great Horn"(Jan. 2011)merch(1 report) This quest item can be used once per character to get an automatically customized, multi-attribute focus, "Zehtuka's Horn".
Please refer to the consumables guide for pricing on "Zehtuka's Jug", and the Shortbow section further down for "Zehtuka's Shortbow."
"Deeprunner's Map" set(sold as a set of the four map pieces needed for the quest, Mar. 2010)2k(1 report) Bought and sold separately, the individual pieces may be ~25% of the "map set" price.
Collector Trophies for Certain EotN Common Armor Pieces
Certain "common armor" pieces from EotN require a number of the following collector trophies. Prices listed are for a single trophy, not the quantity required for the armor piece.
"Hammer of Kathandrax"(HoM, Jan. 2011)2-4k(4 reports) These quest items are often traded individually or in bulk for players using the repeatable dungeon quest to quickly earn their survivor title.
"-50 hp Healing Cesta"(nonmax, nongreen, Dec. 2009)100k+(1 "report") (The item is similar to the commonly traded "-50 hp Cesta," but with a Healing requirement. This one is no longer available as a quest reward and sometimes quite valuable at auction. In Jan. 2009, one sold for ~250k.)
"-50 hp Cesta," Grim Cesta(nonmax, nongreen, Feb. 2012)15k(1 report) (See the Healing Prayers Foci section above for "-50 hp Healing Cesta" if you're looking for PC on an item like this linked to Healing instead.)

Kephet's Refuge and The Yakslapper are very popular and can probably be sold 3-5k at least. They used to be overfarmed and thus near worthless, but nobody farms them anymore, yet they are still in demand.
Victo's Blade is going for 3-4k, and Ogre slaying knife for about the same (for novelty purposes only).

Guild: Hello Kitty Krewe [HKK] Forever!-ish
I've recently sold some spare hero armor parts when I saw wtb ads.
10k x 1 - Mysterious Armor Part
10k x 2 - Ancient Armor Part
I was in no rush to sell, so didn't haggle. 10k was my asking price for each. I saw a fair amount of wtb ads for these things, but it took a while to find people that would pay 10k.
However, after I sold both my ancient armors to a buyer that was looking for more, I saw him asking to buy more for 15k. So the 10k ceiling might be average, but it is possible to get more if you hold out.
Thanks for the sticky work & Cheers!
EDIT - Got a Mallyx's Whim for 1k
I remember looking for these wolf-hammer-wand-greens a few months ago. It took a while to find people selling them, but I bought for less than 5k ea., if even that.
EDIT 2 - Got an Eshwe's Wand for 3k on a clearout sale thread here.
Have had offers as high as 8k in game for my spare Stolen Sunspear Armors.
EDIT 3 - Wound up selling my sunspear armors at 35k for 4. I tried to hold out to see how long it took to get 10k, but I'm spending too much time in trade towns and threads ... the inventory slot looked too good to pass up.

Bought a Lian's Lantern for 2.5k
I've always liked them and saw one for sale. No idea what market price is for them, if there even is one.
EDIT - Since I bought that, I've noticed there are quite a few of them for sale around at 1-3k. Some people ask more, but it looks like folks are farming Lian or something.
EDIT - Oct 19
Since I'm the last post, I'll just report my findings here ...
I bought ...
-- The Windcatcher for 4k in kama
-- Kanaxai's Axe for 3k from reply to my wtb thread
-- The Mindstealer for 3k from a guru thread
-- Merki's Gaze for 10k from a guru thread
-- Quansong's Focus for 5k from a guru thread
I saw a Woe Spreader sold for 1k on a guru thread
Various sellers in Kama quoted me ...
-- The Pain Eater 2-4k
-- Lian's Lantern 2-4k (I don't buy that, way too many around cheaper last week.)
-- Kanaxai's Axe was advertised wts in Kama for 10k
