Ok let me be clear this is not a thread about ripping off people or taking advantage of someone not knowledgable about prices or some scam.
A good past trade you made that maybe back then was worth $5 and now it's worth $50.
So I spoke in the regrettable thread that I traded 2 {force of will} for 2 foil {bonfire of the damned}. Well at the time foil bonfire was $75 and the FtV Realms set was just out and it was selling online for about $75. I traded one of those foil {bonfire of the damned} for an entire FtV Realms set and more than made up for the crappy deal I got. FYI I still have the other foil bonfire and it's only about $15 now.
And for whoever I traded for their FtV set. I feel bad the bonfire tanked so much but if it's any conciliation, I am stuck with one too.
To him:
{Stormbreath Dragon}
To me:
Korean {Snapcaster Mage}
{Temple Garden}
It was just after Theros was released lol :P
SD was $35, Snap was $15 and TG was like $12ish? So I took a small hit at first but now lol
{Phyrexian Obliterator} when it was like 6 for two {Chromatic Lanterns} when they were three.
Well I had a bad trade where I traded a foil m14 {Mutavault} for a {Kalonian Hydra}... They were $20 at the time..
As for the opposite, I've never had anything like that. I know my friend Dustin pulled a foil {Ral Zarek} at DGM prerelease, when it was valued at $200. He traded it for a playset of {Boros Reckoner}s, a playset of {Snapcaster Mage}s, 3 {Geist of Saint Traft} and 2 {Lilliana of the Veil}... Yeah...
I did have one trade before where the guy really wanted my foil {Fathom Mage} and I said I'd just give it to him, but he refused to just get it, so he have me 2 {Restoration Angel}s for it. He offered so I didn't actually gip the guy, I just accepted a good offer
Edit: He DID know the cost of Resto angels and still agreed
Not really a trade, but I bought a full art cryptic command for $25 when they were about 30, then it jumped to 75 and traded it for a plateau.
I traded a playset of nightveil specters a playset of master of waves and a playset of thassa right before devotion to blue started to go down in price for 2 Vendilion cliques and a playset of snapcater mages. Blue cards went down and snap caster rose 10 and cliques rose 26
I traded a foil elspeth for 2 non foil and a play set of xenagods
Lol
Guy really wanted the foil
Speaking of bonfire, I bought a playset at preorder for 4-5 dollars each, then sold when they maxed... That turned like a 200 profit
Cool
I traded a {Voice of Resurgence} for a play set of {Steam Vents} when at the time I was actually taking a $10 hit. I just had that feeling it would pay off in the long run.

that is seriously legendary!
I traded the oversized foil {Thraximundar} for {Brimaz, King of Oreskos} intending to make a white Commander deck. Then I checked {Brimaz, King of Oreskos}'s price. Idek what I'm going to buy with it. I do know I'm finally getting a play set of {Chandra's Phoenix}.

Unless you need them right now I would suggest not getting Chandra's Phoenix they are about to be rotated out of standard and once they're outta standard they'll be like $.50 each so just be careful

When do they rotate out? I've been working towards a Phoenix deck for quite some time, but I can wait. The only downfall is my LGS doesn't carry out of standard cards so they'll sell fast without being restocked and I live a ways away.
They rotate when Khans come out so September :P

Eh...I'll get the set now, as I already have one. {Flame-Wreathed Phoenix} also looks awfully tempting.
So I sold {Brimaz, King of Oreskos}, and here's what I got.
3x {Chandra's Phoenix} playset complete. Phoenix deck one step closer.
4x {Spawn of Thraxes} idk if I'll use them but at a buck a pop and with a pure red deck I figured, why not?
For {Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind} deck:
{Dictate of Kruphix}
{Mercurial Chemister}
{Melek, Izzet Paragon}
{Izzet Signet}
{Izzet Boilerworks}
For {Muzzio, Visionary Architect} artifact deck:
{Colossus of Akros}
{Darksteel Forge}
So basically I got all that for a foil oversized {Thraximundar}. I'm happy.
I traded my Black Lotus for this awesome Khans of Tarkir forest basic land :D
(I'm totally joking, in case no one could tell :P)

The real question is if the land was foil...
I got ripped off. Foil Jace for a Mogis, Felidar Sovereign, Comet Storm, Lilliana Vess, etc. (platinum emperion too)
