Well I rarely get involved with the in-game trading at all if I can help it. I perfer to trade with those I know because there are a lot of scams and rip-offs out there. Don't forget, you may be dealing with kids too. When I do trade with a stranger, its usually on the international server. They seem to have the best bargains and they don't seem to be scamming if you can get past the language barrier. Be careful that the item isn't customized before you hit "accept". If it has their name on it: "customized for Queen Zaspada", you can't use it.

Many times, people will ask on the chat channels for a "price check" on items and others will chime-in telling them what they think the latest popular price is for it or a discussion about it. Sometimes that works well.

They must be buying them for the collectors. They could be stocking-up on the event collectors too. I will farm those items all year so I can trade them in at Halloween and Christmas. I'll buy gold UNidentified weapons to increase my stat on the wisdom title track. I've bought plague remedies(quest item) to satisfy a quest in Factions. There are reasons to sell and buy everything that isn't customized.

BTW, the stats on things that drop outside Lion's Arch will have higher stats than those that drop outside Ascalon. The stats are according to the level of that area.

Max Damage Stats:
Bows = 28
Swords = 22
Hammar = 35
Axe = 27
Shields and focus(lefties) = 16
Wands, Staffs and Sceptors = 22
Spears = 27
Scythes = 41

Some low stat weapons can not be upgraded. Green weapons can not be upgraded but they can be customized. What are the stats of those you're trying to upgrade?

We have a weaponsmith in the FK Guild Hall. He's next to our Merchant. For 20g he can customize your weapon. Customizing it adds 20% more damage ability to that weapon but you can't sell it to another player. Only you can use your customized weapon. However, you can sell them to merchants.
