When I found a crimson whelpling in the bank for 50g WAYYYYYY before BC came out. I level with Sparky to this very day.

Without question, the most epic loot I ever got was the final piece in my T2 Rogue Set. The coveted... the beautiful.. the uber 1337, Bloodfang Chestpiece. http://www.wowhead.com/?item=16905Our heroic guild was fighting Nefarian. One after another, our brave warriors fell, and at the very end of the battle, the evil Nefarian was near death... Everyone in our guild had died, immolated by the dragon's breath or slaughtered by his fiendish guards! Even the angels left behind by our slaughtered priests had faded.Indeed, there was no one left... but me. I single-handedly evasion-tanked Nefarian and administered the coup de grace. The guild was overjoyed, yelling in Vent, YES! WE'VE DOWNED NEF! All thanks to ME. And what better reward for my heroism than the epic.. the prized, the treasured, BLOOD FANG CHESTPIECE YEEAAAHH!
The lightning and thunder crashed down around us as we squared off against the betrayer. The stones were slick with rain and blood of the fallen but still we pressed the attack. A feint here, a thrust there. The combat felt interminable minutes stretching into hours, then into days. Finally through some divine combination, some fatal mistake on the Betrayer's part perhaps, he fell to the ground dead. As the life drained from his eyes a final breath escaped his lips and a tumultuous cheer arose from the beleaguered heroes that had assembled together. Yet even greater was the cry as we pried the Warglaive from his right hand and gave to it to one of our number to wield in glory of that momentous event.
I'll always remember that, first pally I make past lvl 30, so excited. So I have 80g on my toon and no mount to buy cause it was "quested" back then. I check out the AH just for fun and what the hell! Kang the Decapitator up on sale for 30g bid... SHORT TIME REMAINING! So I say meh, I'll have my gold back in max 30 mins, no biggie. So I bid on it, I goof around SW for a while, "Auction Won for Kang the Decapitator" ....Wait a second WHAT WHAT WHAT? That thing was BAAAAAAAD (even though I upgraded 8 levels later... so about a week for an Ice Barbed Spear) it still was really worth it's time! (Plus I totally looked BADASS!)
