You need to add more content to your post than "???", otherwise, expect a lock.

CCP has started banning people who bought PLEX from the erroneous Amazon sale. Brace for impact!

Amazon sold an unknown number of 3 packs of plex for $5. They were delivered and plex prices in jita crashed somewhere over 40m each looks like.

Hello there. I just looked at the news for Amazon. It looks like they are adding 1,000 new jobs and sales look good going into the holiday season. If by the economy being screwed you mean more people have jobs, I hope we keep getting screwed.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

As long as prices of plex goes back down. They should not be anywhere near 600 Mil. Dual Training should never have made a ******* change in the market.
People are to ******* stupid to see that plex prices are way over what they should be..

Well, that's a hell of a deal, to put it mildly. Fail to see why there'd be speculation about bans, though. Surely Amazon paid CCP whatever their usual wholesale deal is, so the ones losing money would be Amazon.

Just wondering, how can they ban people for it? Isnt it a shop error and not a player exploit?

I was too late i would have cashed out as well but damn social gatherings.
