The easiest 3k I ever made.

Long story short I bought the ilvl 264 tanking pants. They cost a lot, over 10k. I wanted to wait but I said to myself the only reason to have gold (up to 40k) is to spend it to make the game easier/less grindy. I spent the gold.

Afterwards I felt bad, but seeing as I already spent 12k, and someone was offering the battered hilt in trade for 10k I would go with it if I could talk him down. Why not? WHO CARES ABOUT GOLD!?!?!??!

I offered him 7.5. He declined saying he had a 9k offer already. I came back from two random dungeons and he is still spamming for 10k. I offer him 7.5k. He declines. He counter offers 8k. I decline. The dance continued, and I explained I had time to wait the price was only going to go down. He had no time to wait, the price wasn't going up. Normally no one will take an offer 25%/2.5k lower, but after 2 hours of spamming he was tired. He agreed 7.5k battered hilt.

I posted on the AH right away. 11.5k buy out, 10.5k sell.....buy out with in minutes. 3k in my pocket for almost nothing.
