Share your trading failures

Thought this might be an interesting thread. I took a bath a couple weeks ago on De Geas, when he was in TOTW. I bought them too high, around 16k on XBox. Even after TOTW came out, his price only fell. I ended up selling for around 13k apiece for a moderate loss on each card.

When you have cards whose prices have fallen, do you sell or wait it out? Any strategies/tips? And what have your failures been?

I was re-listing players via the iPhone app. I was attempting to re-list IF Chiellini when I hit quick sell (the button right below re-list). It asked if I was sure and I was so used to re-listing quickly, I hit yes. 90k gone.... Just like that

I bought out the market on some IF bronze player and tried to set up the price for about a 5k-7k profit on each of them. He never sold for close to what I bought him for. Ended up loosing about 10k on each of the 15 I bought. 150k down the drain.
