I wouldn’t exactly be a power trader, but I try to keep my gold in circulation. I’d be a fairly casual player (3-4 hours per week I’d guess) but I still have around 40 gold atm while still having the gold for things like exotics and makeover kits (really really hated the hair on my main
As for TP gaffs too many to list them all here but edited highlights:
Wasting gold to buy gems to buy a mini pack to trade on the TP : I think I spent 4 Gold to get a mini that I eventually sold for less than 1.
Buying Major runes of Altruism (after listening to a certain podcast) at 80 silver and eventually having to sell at less than 70 just to get my gold back.
Accidentally buying 20 Carrion Rings for 14 silver each when they were going for around 7 then having to sell for even less to get rid of them.
I’ve bought mats at prices that have crashed plenty of times and have had to have a fire sale to get my gold back.
Following weblogs too closely I bought a load of Reyna’s gloves last week which still haven’t sold yet and the price has plunged, ho hum…
Trying to use the mystic forge to get rich. I bought a load of greens on the TP hoping to get golds then salvage them. Now I didn’t spend a lot but I basically found a good way to convert silver into copper
Buying unid dyes in bulk in the hope of getting an Abyss . Again silver to copper.

Needless to say I got left with a few sky and ash dyes that I just couldn’t shift at any kind of profit.
