I'm a pack rat, yes, but I occasionally clean out my... trash. Sometimes, it is fortuitous for me, other times, not so much.

I bought a bunch of Tome Pages for 20k years ago, stuffed them in my bank, and promptly forgot about them. Now, they are worth a lot more than 20k, and I have... A few of them... b:chuckle

For a good year and a half, my Veno's bank was FULL of gear. Level 30-70 3 star stuff armor and weapons, ornaments, TT 60 and TT70 weapons and armor.

But... That doesn't quite spell it out.

I collected every legendary weapon from level 22-77... Before I leveled my Archer past level 22. And I had to make them all (well, Windcatcher isn't, nor was my TT60 crossbow) two sockets, mildly refined, best shards I could put in 'em...

And then I leveled my Archer up (on quests, mind you) over a weekend to 65... And kept all of the weapons.

My BM has constantly run around with an inventory full of sharp, pointy, death. At one point, I had each TT weapon AND each legendary weapon, plus a bow. Which... I sold everything but the swords and axes, and now my Barb used the axes up, so I sold those as well.

Anyone else spend countless hours in the AH looking for rare stuff at a good price? Or just rare stuff?

Heh, I buy the stuff to use it, at least once, though. I think my Archer is kind of the odd one, but... I get kind of attached to weapons. The ones that have nice procs or good stats, I kind of get sad when I have to switch them out, even if the new one is better. Sometimes I've bought something, it was awful, and I donated it to faction for someone who has something... really bad to upgrade into it.

And yes, I have 4 characters with expanded banks and 2 with full cupboards. b:quiet
101 Sage Sin*/Archer
100 Demon BM*/Barb
96 Demon Cleric/Sage Seeker
95 Demon Wiz/
94 Sage Veno
85 Psy/80 Mystic
And a handful of other alts, all 79 and under.

    i dont go out buying stuff i dont need, but i do have about 5 storage characters with inventories filled with herbs, TT mats, mats from digging/mobs, misc stuff like p.stones, socket stones, shards, etc.

    then whenever i feel like i have enough to sell, i try to sell it all at once.

    yes I love to collect things, on my sin I am aiming to have every rare set of daggers the server has to offer, with the exception of warsoul. Collecting rare and maybe not so valuable objects seems one of the few truly fun things to do on pwi now a days...

    Personally I love to collect "Books" the items that tell you some of PW's history in wars/events/etc.. that you can read over and over again as much as you please. I have a ridiculous goal to collect all of the in-game PW literature. :x

    Yes I am, a bad one :( I never want to sold anything to other people no matter how common it is.. like Perfect Stone for example.. I'd rather have them sits idle in my bank alts rotten, stinks, molten and expired there.

    The only things I dont mind selling is.. stuffs that no one wants to buy, even a greedy beggar wouldnt want to accept it even if it's free. Only NPC wants to accept it o__o

    I don't mind borrowing "my treasure" to friends tho.

    I remember stashing my MTF's from my Culti GV/RB Runs, prices of these were still recovering from the GV Harpy Glitch era, eventually I spotted someone asking to buy an *** Load of MTF's, which prompted the cogs in my mind to start turning again and remembered I had about 64 of them, they were willing to pay 100k per fragment and that was the easiest 6.4 mill of my life :P b:laugh

    ^This. I don't care how much money I've got, or how little the drops might add up to. I pick everything up.

    Even archer ammo. When I have a fair supply I'll set up a catshop selling archer ammo at 1 coin each, same as NPC price. Why? Because if i was an archer, I'd be appreciative of such a gesture.

    Yeah. I'm a bit of a collector. I have several things that I don't need now, on the off chance that I'll need it later. This is with a fully expanded inventory, and nearly fully expanded bank, as well a wardrobe stone. I get full pretty easily still...

    I collect weapons, that I can use. I actually want the PvE sword from Luminance, because it probably looks awesome, like the sword you get from the yellow morai quests.

    Yup, only doing it for looks.

    I'm a collector.

    At one point I had about 80 long arms and 20 handguns. At one point I had about 30 USA Jackson guitars. I used to collect vintage Ouija boards, but sold off the most expensive ones when I was broke. I have about 550 CDs, about 350 DVDs and probably 100 BluRays.

    I don't collect pixels in-game though. b:pleased
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.
