I've made some pretty bad trades/sales before. Before {Thundermaw Hellkite} hit its peek I didn't want mine, I didn't play much red, and put it on e-bay for 15 dollars. It sold for 18 TT. How about you guys?
A bunch of werewolves for a snapcaster when I was a noob. Worst decision ever lol
My bro sold a foiled jace thr mind sculptor for $50
The first that springs to mind for me was when I was still kinda new, I traded a {Batterskull} for an {Etched Monstrosity}.

Works great in either a counter {Varolz, the Scar-Striped} themed deck or a {Melira, Sylvok Outcast} persist deck.
I had quit MtG right after future sight came out. Got back in when Shards hit and traded a {Tarmogoyf} for a {Lich's Mirror} still thinking goyf was worth $1 which is what it was worth when I got out. Still kicking myself about it though I did get the last laugh. The shop I traded it to closed less than 3 months later.
{Sphinx's Revelation} for {Garruk, Primal Hunter} before sphinx jumped to $20.oo+
I sold my entire collection, that started in Alpha/Beta and ended with some Weatherlight, for $300 the first time I quit. Current value would pay my mortgage for a couple years at least.
I traded away some of my Zendikar rares, like {Bloodghast}, {Verdant Catacombs}, and {Eye of Ugin}, for a bunch of Yugioh cards when I got back into the game.
Not that bad compared to some, but i traded 2 shocks for {sublime archangel} right before she dropped... A lot
I traded a shock for an empty envelope.
My fiancé traded 2 {Æther Vial} and 2 {Show and Tell} when he got back into magic for some alarm block crap like {Mayael the Anima} and friends! :(
I sold my 5 Jace, The Mind Sculptors for around $60 each before they first jumped to $100. I also sold my playset of Cliques before modern was announced for around $25. There are many more, but those are just a few cases.
I traded a ton of legends and revised stuff including 6 or 7 dual lands for a bunch of Star Wars TCG booster packs... Obviously kicking myself now but at the time it seemed like a solid deal. Haha
I've traded a number of things over the years for almost nothing. I traded {Mox Opal}s for next to nothing, because I didn't (and still don't really) think it was a great card and that it would be playable.
I've mostly been savvy though, I can't really think of anything that I've completely been beaten up with losing.
I traded {Akroma, Angel of Wrath} foil for some yugioh cards several years back.
The night of the gate crash pre-release I traded a {Boros Reckoner} and a {Boros Charm} for a {Watery Grave}. I goofed 😲😲😲
I can't find my {Chain Lightning}s from the Fire & Lightning Premium Decks. Really sad now, must have traded them when I was a noob.
Traded a {Jace, the Mind Sculptor} for {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn} when it first came out. Even trade then, still have the emrakul and now a play set of jaces. Bad trade, but I'm not hurt too much over it.
