Your best purchases, price-wise?

Kupuntu - Sanctuary · January 2010

So, this thread is all about luck b:chuckle. And bragging too. Post your best purchases and maybe also tell how much they really are worth. I'll start:

- Molds: Annihilator of Souls for 7k and Dark Flash for 6k. Some poor guy must have not known their real worth.
- 8 Oracle IXs for 300 coins each. This was just wierd. Wonder what he was trying to type.
- Retribution's Flame lvl 1 mag tome for 10k. I remember some wizard quitting the game and selling stuff. I had to thank him for this.

- Blood Mist for 200k. It's worth much more than that.
- Chain Pants for 150k and Boots for 70k. Both are greyish.
- Rashnu (7.5gold aerogear for humans, upgraded with 60 wind widgets) for 1mil. This was my most recent thing. I checked the prices of Nakir's in the AH (not that I have that much money) but accidentally clicked Rashnu. Someone was selling it for 1mil, and it is also upgraded to +2m/s. So pretty nice one actually.

Now it's your time to post your purchases. I wanna see what others have found.

Belligero - Sanctuary · January 2010

Honestly, the fist molds aren't too pricey. I know people who just give em away since they're hard to sell even at 100,000.

As for my own, the best deal was a Misty Forest Ring Mold for 8,000 coins. [Worth at least 100x more]

Got it from a cat shop titled "INeedSpaceD:"

Must've been really desperate for that space, hehe.

Admante - Dreamweaver · January 2010

My best was buying a Broad Land for 5m.

Andromaka - Heavens Tear · January 2010

27 green dyes 200 coins each b:laugh
pure black maiden skirt - 2 mil xd

Maragon - Dreamweaver · January 2010

nothing too incredible but I did get my barb gale dual hammers refined +3 for 200k and an annihilator mold. hammers then were probably worth at least 1.5 mil (this was before BH)

Edit: almost forgot...someone was unhappy with the way some cash shop pack was working out for him so he started rage dropping stuff and said come get it so i did. I got 4 mystical pages and 6 flawless shards (citrine garnet and sapphire). FREE

Alyyy - Sanctuary · January 2010

traded chain pants, camo gloves and chain shoes for pure black fairy dress and pure black fairy gloves xD

bought a superstar set for 1 mil o.o

WarrenWolfy - Sanctuary · January 2010

I've gotten stacks of stuff from the AH for the price of 1 a lot of times. For example, getting 30 Oracle 2s for 50k total.

But to be honest I don't consider those kinds of things the best purchases, price-wise. The best purchases are things like Battle Pet Packs, or Spring Packs, or Anniversary Packs during sales events, which can then be immediately resold for 10% profit. Since you can repeat the purchase over-and-over again, it's a license to print free money.

DrunkWizard - Lost City · January 2010

Peritia - Lost City · January 2010

A few memorable ones for me:

Sage Venomous Scarab: 50k
Threaten Pet Scroll: 10k

Miugre - Heavens Tear · January 2010

Oh, let's see... pretty much everything I bought before Chests of Coins & Ani Packs screwed up gold prices. :P (/thread)

Nah, in all seriousness... I can't say I've ever had anything ridiculously cheap. Again, before the inflation (henceforth referred to only as "the fail") I got some things that were "cheap" by standards back then and would be a "steal" by any measure today - I can't remember the prices I paid or which ones were the best deals, but I got all of the following before the fail hit:

Windsprint Panther & Lv1 Spurs
Polaris Snow Cub
Quick Sika Deer
Elven Radiance (I refuse to just call it "Glory" XD)
Rashnu
Spotted Skymanta
Maxed-out inventory for my main and my BM
Maxed-out bank for my main only
At least one of the cages for my veno's maxed-out pet bag
Star-Crossed Love Top / Vicar's Pants / Casual Loafers in an almost-matching green midtone (probably my favorite / most-used fashion set,worn by my main)
An orange Chipao and matching heels, occasionally worn by my BM
Verdana Smock / Seaspray Slacks / Dame's Boot combo (which has seen use on 3 different chars, soon to be 4, and soon to be re-dyed for the third time... orange, then purple, now lime)
Madame's Skirt (also, a Summer Pattern, but I got that with pre-fail gold prices) and Lady's Slippers (worn by my cleric)
Strider's Vestment and Raven's Boot, re-dyed in light yelllow (worn by my wizard)

I got a few molds before the fail, too, but ironically they're actually cheper now because of all the BH runs everyone is doing, so I won't list those.

I guess I could also mention the Crimson Leaper I bought for 1.2mil, and the Dark Charger I got for... I think 1.5? It's good to buy secondhand mounts, at least those two

Recently I bought another Snow Cub for 1.2, which is I guess good by today's standards. -_-

...oh... and once someone sold me a Galewind Spurs for pre-fail gold price(they seemed to REALLY want to get rid of it after sending out multiple WCs, so I made that low offer). I eventually sold it for 3.5, I think... <_>

Kado - Sanctuary · January 2010

Well, let's see... I bought my Demon Stone Rain for about 500k(I have heard that the price for it was way more than that), Bought my warlord gloves for about 100k, and I think that may be it ._. I don't get money often.

Pannelo - Heavens Tear · January 2010

I found a Silka Deer in a catshop in Lost for 100k and resold for 3.5m which was my best find. I don't usually go trawling through catshops or AH but I was quite pleased with this find. b:pleased

I dont have the patience to shop all the time for re-sale but I've been pretty lucky when i do take the time to browse the catshops. I dont buy and re-sell very often but the hubby does. He'll sit there for hours shopping, buying things at cheap prices and re-selling. If i want something i want it for me heeh.

OMG!!! LUCKY!!! The poor seller must have been b:beatup for days b:chuckle

Estuary - Heavens Tear · January 2010

lol When fashion was like 800k for black, and there was so few fashion, I got black seaspray slacks for 50k. Not sure if they meant to sell it for 500K... But that is the one that sticks in my head for now.

Elenacostel - Heavens Tear · January 2010

I sold a +5 Sinister Shooter for 200,000 coins instead of 2,000,000 coins =(

Congratulations to whomever bought it.

Ursa - Dreamweaver · January 2010

I'm kinda slow on these, But I have a friend that did some business for me.
So, flow is like this:
charge 30$ at second jolly event -> sell gold -> buy all the MP/HP event food and store it -> Anni packs out -> sell jolly food for 8x price -> buy tokens-> give to friend->he makes business-> I got back 2 lunar rings, lunar wand, cape, boots and hat.

I'm telling you , if this guy would have had time, he would have been the richest SoB on DW. He got for himself a scroll of tome for 1000 tokens back when tokens were like 15k, a +8 lunar wand for the equivalent of 50 gold in cash and so on and so forth.

Compare that with a +6 DO i found at 400k and a set of fashion (shoes/pants/shirt) for 1mil ... I should wear a bag on my head lol.
