You know when the council diplomatic shuttle was released I picked up a few dozen of these in various regions using regional buy orders for anywhere between 50,000-100,000isk. I waited patiently however for their pricepoint to drop below 200,000(preferably 100,000) in trade hubs so that I might stockpile some. The price never did come down.
I hoard unique hulls for long term profits and I do my math. The council diplomatic shuttle loses between 2-5 ships per day. That's a rate 10x slower than the Gnosis.
I'm sorry guys but those of you who have been hoarding these aren't going to see a profit for 10 years minimum.
Shame on you for being overeager to get some and not letting the price drop to reasonable levels and letting me have some.
You get what you deserve.  |

I've been saying for ages that the Council Diplomatic Shuttles are hugely overpriced compared other ships we have been gifted in the past, or are the old ones just underpriced?
As for my own, I once bought a couple hundred researched Prototype Cloaking Device BPOs (still selling them now), have sold a bunch PLEX right before price spikes and probably lots of other little ones I don't remember.

Oh that's funny because I bought a bunch of those myself a couple years back not realizing how many had been researched.
Heck I probably bought some off you. |

There's things you lose on because you base your decision on solid reasoning and there's an unforeseeable change that shafts you. (I got done on the exploration changes but got out fast enough to not get hammered)
Then there's things you lose on because you base your purchase decision on faulty reasoning.
I got done a bit buying up lots and lots and lots and lots of meta afterburners and microwarpdrives, thinking that the tiericide would make one of them clearly best and that that one would go from being worth nothing to being a high priced meta item.
Turns out, there's still too much supply for any of them to hold any value, and I'd used regionwide buy orders to get the largest number possible.
Oops.
Didn't lose much ISK (200m max) but by god I lost a lot of time dumping those things at below cost.

You gambled on the wrong horse, even after my well written guide, basically spoon fed it!
my tiericde container has 3xvalue so far.
worst investment: i bought 2 characters with very high standings (to sell highsec standings pos corps) the nerf to standings requirement for pos, killed those 2 alts.
1 is still valuable, other is p much useless without lots more isk to fix. |

5k expanded cargoholds right before CCP dropped the indy changes.
Gnosis.....yeah, the less said about those, the better.
I hear there are still people with thousands of procurers as well.

Oh yeah SKINs too, kinda. During peak hype after the Devblog my can of SKINs that I paid about 30-40b for was worth over 300b on Jita sell orders, I managed to sell several dozen of them at those crazy prices, but I wasn't too bothered about getting rid of them too quickly, they were still well below where I thought the new prices would be. The patch hit and it's all a bit fuzzy, but I know prices just kept dropping. I've added a fair few to my can since then, and its estimated price is now 150b. I'll check it again next year  .

I bought every single T1 industrial in a region a few years ago. I think I ended up roughly breaking even on the manipulation - sold a few really expensive iterons, but it's too hard to hold an entire ship group down for long with the kind of bankroll I had at the time.

I own a silly large number of Geckos, most purchased back when I considered them expensive at ~14m each.
I also own a large number of Gnosis. At least it is my favourite ship to spin. |

I have a couple of hundred Firetails in Jita that I'm still waiting on the market to turn.
Actual losses though, a few here and there, the most notable were losing a couple hundred mill on Gnosis where I really was mistaken on their value. And back when CCP changed the mineral content of BS I rode the wave but forgot to get off at the top and lost 200 mil on Maels that I had in Heim., but I still made out ok overall.
As Sabriz said above you can make mistakes because of unforeseen patches/changes which are just the way it goes or from bad judgement, but then you learn something.

Yeah that's not a good idea. Ganker logistics is actually quite difficult to disrupt with buyouts.

I did that with T1 frigates, fortunately it was when they were cheap :p Had this great idea "Oh, if I buy them all up and then scatter them around I will get muchly isk"

That wasn't my intention.
I forgot what my intention was, but I didn't want to disrupt anything.
Maybe I wanted to put them back up at a higher price.
But I never did.
Now I'll check if I still have them ... ^_^

My mistake was not getting out of Zydrine and Megacyte after the bubble popped
Made a decent profit, but missed a easy extra bils
Made the same mistake with T3 subs, brought them up but held too long and had to panic sell |

Buying a few billion worth of dread guristas ammo because I found it selling a lot cheaper than jita on eve-central in outlying regions. Then hauled the ammo in, and put it up for sale, only to realize the jita sell prices aren't actually selling.
Even if it's a pain, the rule now is load a jita alt and check the history before going buy crazy.

Learned the hard way the meaning of SVR when I once built hundreds of T2 large smartbombs looking at them insane profit per unit. Ended up selling them at pretty huge loss after one month of -0.01 market pvp because I burnt out. |

2 or 3 times scammed to margin trading, investing in fresh info from eve-marketdata trade routes links.
One time 5 or 7 BS, which sold at 30% under.
Not integrating the proper tax and/or broker fee / costs is a sure bet to shoot yourself in the foot.
(because it's more profitable to shoot yourself in the foot instead.)
Other than that, I just got a new JF pilot worth 20% less than I paid for, but I didn't want to take the chance to lose the opportunity to a 40% less case.
And those screenshots, recent ones that is, plus the first cargo haulers contract publicly published in the hauler's channel.
A very good Bounty Hunter / merc enterprise. At least a 7b worth JF ship with fittings, if not rigged. |

Around the time of Apocrypha, I saw large cargo rigs take a dive. Had I bothered to even think for a second I would have figured out that haulers were now fitting medium rigs (there were only one sized rigs prior to Apocrypha). So I bought a shitload of these rigs at about 10-11m a pop, while the price continued to nosedive to about half the value. This was a major blow to my trade activities at the time, but I was not one to cut my losses, so I suffered for a while.
More recently I bought heavily into alloyed tritanium bars (this item is used to manufacture cargohold rigs iirc, so I should stay away from this stuff). Think I bought around 60k/unit, and the price fell to 10-15k immediately. Again I hung on to the pile till a momentary spike in the price a year later.
Any colour you like.
