What is the best deal you've EVER gotten in EC?

[Ashimar]

curious to know whats the best deal you've gotten on any specific item in EC?

Believe it or not, i saw an FBSS being auctioned for 7k a few days before the
launch of Kunark. Can't remember the name, but it was a gnome caster. I bought that sucker as fast as i could. shortly afterwords, the FBSS went up
to about 14k. I could resell it for major profit, but since i have a melee class, i'd best keep it.
