Same as above .. I sold my unded Oni for 100k+ around 100e in 2007.

That's what it was worth at the time. Every bit was profit (I won it in one of the Halloween contests).

Loss over time = a lot

Hmm ... sold off my r8 bow collection in 2007/2008, only to see the prices skyrocket on r8's.

I had a 10/10 r7 earth Celestial Staff back in 2006, however it wasn't max damage (it was pc'd at the time around 10k lol). I used it on an Ele for a few months, and when I deleted the character I lent it to a guildie. The guildie eventually stopped playing near the end of that year ... and my staff is still sitting on his account.

Traded an unded Vizu + ded Zippy + unded Oni for unded Zippy. It was a good trade at the time. >_>

_Todeshand_ · Oct 04, 2010, 04:38 AM // 04:38

Sold my req11 14% Longsword for 1200e.... at least to a friend of mine.

following spirit · Oct 04, 2010, 01:18 PM // 13:18

R8 max damage bow that i had sitting in storage since i first started playing, problem was i thought i was worthless compared to my max r8 14% dam ^ 50%

Im sure when i think back i got rid of it cause it didnt have any other modifier on it......

R8 max
15% damage

and guess how i feel now i find out what it could be worth

+1 to this...but tbh I love the skin so it's not a huge deal...

for mine...I would have to say just recently I was buying some daggers and was told they were r8 and went to go buy them and didn't pay much attention to the trade window...I know have a nice 30e pair of r13 +5 plaugeborn daggers.

edit: sorry r12

Although there appears to be a new mini on the char I put them on yey

nem coke · Oct 08, 2010, 08:52 AM // 08:52

A little more than 5 years ago, I sold a req 8 +15% in stance Sephis Axe for 20k . Also bought it for 1k, so I don't hold ''the worst trade in history of GW'' achievement.

Showtime · Oct 08, 2010, 10:17 AM // 10:17

Sold Max Blue r7 fellblade w 11% enchant or stance for 30k I think. Got it for next to nothing. I knew it was rare, but had no idea.

Dozen+ Kuunavangs at 70 - 90 ectos each. My fav mini. Bought it at the peak last year when it looked like supply had finally been used up. Boy, how wrong was I. Kept some of msgs to remind me not to trade any more lol.

Bought or farmed almost 2 stacks of Onyx when they were 7-8kish or more. Sucks to look at them... Would have been worse if I didn't craft and sell a lot of destroyer weapons back then.

Next on my list...

Vizi · Nov 01, 2010, 04:54 AM // 04:54

Everything is recently :
I bought Unded Oni 2,200e full ectos, sold 1,300e (900e lost..).
Also : BDS q9 Prot bought 310e, sold 180e.
Grawl Unded bought about 200e sold 160e.

And 3 items that I missed :
-Longsword q8 +5, I could have it, but he sold it for less than I offered...
-Eternal Bow q8 +5, he didn't see my PM and sold it for a few ectos..
-Dead Bow q8 15^50 (system got it before me xD)

lishi · Nov 01, 2010, 09:40 AM // 09:40

I merched a R7 12>50 purple longsword.

I kept months on my storage but in the end merch it for space.

It was at the time when i still didn't know what is rare and what's not.

Never thought ask a price check for it =(

animal fighter · Nov 01, 2010, 10:00 AM // 10:00

animal fighta has some good and bad with this:

stygian reaver q10 pre eotn
bought: 160e
sold: 180e
took a break until a few months after eotn
see person I sold it to selling it for 10k

1 week after doa released:
buying gemstones for armbrace
titans 100k/ea
torm 80k/ea
margs 50k/ea
stygians 30k/ea
times 15.
(needed to fight animals with tormented shield)
this make animal fighta not happy now that they are not worth anything

factions chest running in nahpui/raisu (shortly after factions release)
merched the following:

paper fan q11 divine
10% hsr
20% hct prot

celestial staff q8 death
10/20 death

celestial shield q8 tact
+45ench (or stance cant remember)
-2ench (maybe stance)
sold for 40k

q8 celestial hammer
15^50
sold for 10k

jug req9 energy storage
19% hct water
10% hsr

just after sorrows furnace release (the night of the release):
sold yakslapper for 10k (guy probably instantly turned it around for 100k+)

q8 20<50 FDS from chest in sorrows
merched because it wasn't 15>50

back then i basically merched anything that wasn't a sword axe or a shield (hehe warriors)
also if the shield didn't have an unconditional health mod (IE +30hp instead of +45 in stance) I thought it was useless and worth nothing.
merched so many dual mod diamond/amber/iridescent aegis because of this.

(I used to chest run all day errday after factions release).

also I had a white flamberge max q7 in my storage for 6 months then finally merched it for space. wish I didn't

my only q7 max drop that I know of.
