That sucks! I haven't made this mistake yet, but I'm sure I will

I've fat fingered billions away, my advice is don't ever play the market if your shithammered drunk. I learned that the hard way multiple times. Gonna shoot you a bit of isk to help ease the pain. Mail me the kill mail when you blast that guy. You get eve.

"Why is nobody buying my stuff?"

"Why is the broker fee so large?"

"Where's X when I sold Y."

"I don't remember selling anything for that (low) amount."
...

Been there. Done that. Will do it again.


P.S. Here's another fun one: place a region-wide buy order in hisec for a large amount of Tritanium.

That one is my favourite. Smile

Given enough time - decades, one could end up with sensible amounts to haul out of almost each location.

I made that mistake once. It was like the shittiest easter egg hunt ever.

Veld over a 3-jump range was bad enough.

A significant pricing error on a standard sell order can be even more frustrating - you sit there watching your inventory disappear while the 5 minute timer counts down before you can correct the price.

I agree it would be nice if we could increase the font size in the market window as we can in the chat window - it's too small and the font chosen makes it very difficult to distinguish between 6, 8 and 9.

This is how I learnt to remember to always update my clone (although no need of that any more), and to watch which Implant set I'm currently in, all in one lovely lossmail Oops



That is my biggest knee shot ever I guess. Remote med cloned, cost me ~2bil first time and nearly 4bil second time. Lesson learned for sure. :D
Still lost another 7bil or so spread over two chars in pods were I thought they were empty but I slowly got it. :D

You could check your wallet, transaction history and get in touch with the person you sold it to, you never know you may not get all your money back or even any of it but people can surprise you.

Transactions tab of the Wallet is my favourite tab on the Citadel. Bear

Because it is their fault? Smile Well, ok, whatever, if it's fun for you, cool. You'll be on the other end of the same kind of mistake sometime, it'll even out. I wouldn't worry much about it, were I you, but if you are determined to have an eventual "you killed my father prepare to die" moment, then I wish you luck.

This happens more often than one would think.
Not a common occurence but far from being rare. I myself bought a 30+ stack of stuff for 7,3 ISK each instead of 730.000 something ISK just two days ago.

Chances are that you will be on the receiving end of such an error sooner rather than later as well so it should equal itself out.

I lost a billion ISK that way myself just a month ago. Thing is, I saw the popup, for just a fraction of a second. But my return key bounced, and I never had a chance to cancel the trade. The warning was whisked away by the key bounce.

My CEO use to do that. He would log in multiple pilots and have "Freighter Sunday".
