Very true, I would never pass up on gray items unless I was completely out of space. As mentioned just trade some items to one of the alts from time to time. Those grays while not worth much can add up big over time. Also I would make sure to have all my characters with Small Silk bags 14 slotters or preferably 16 sloth Netherweave bags. Trust me the 7gold a piece for the netherweave bags will more than pay for themselves in the long run.
