Shoot me.
I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

I'd like to hear how you managed that.
I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

People are idiots, and I know all the little tricks to being a succesful seller there. Like never buy an item that is a single class only unless it's for monks or your going to use it.

Yeah, I know a few good traders who can pull shit like that off. Traders are the gods at making money. They could sell a rusty dagger to a level 60 monk.

Well, I have heard of the "Buy low, Sell high" method... but you went out with THAT MUCH?

I gotta know how you did that.

I've done more or less the same thing, but over time. I started my warrior at 20pp and full banded. Ended up with full fine steel and 500pp. =)

On the rathe, I've seen them ranging from 4k-6k.

Oh and Maradon, When your auctioning your items, never put the price with them. When people ask, tell them to make an offer and if they go too low, say 'Hmm, I was trying to get X for them'. Works wonders.

I do that, except when they send me a tell asking what I'm charging, I respond "Well I'm trying to get around X+15% for them, but I'm negotiable." where X is the usual sale value of the item.

That way when you sell it for X+5% they feel like they got a good deal

My auction messages consist of three main things: The item being sold, the stats on the item and the price I'm selling it for. And the end of the message I'll often say "Prices Firm, No Trades".

PST annoys me to no end

Seriously, what other options do they think people will use? Shout across the zone to negotiate?

OBO I can understand, but PST is just plain stupid

I find "PST" a handy indicator of who is a fucking moron and to avoid interaction with.

I knew someone who in pre-expansion took like 1k and turned it into a full set of 50th lvl gear plus a full set of warrior twink gear, plus 6-8k. Course he is one of the top wizards on Rodciet Nife now and is far far beyond caring. (He takes out VP with 4 people.)

4 People? I find this hard to believe. The named, maybe, however 4 manaburners aren't a 100% success on 32k mobs. The real problem however would be killing the wurm respawns fast enough to actually get anywhere.

Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.
