I am reminded of the old School House Rock's "My Hero Zero". 
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
I think that's the kind of love that should result in a Market-related quote hitting the sig.

I mistakenly added 2 zeroes on a bid recently, fortunately I only wanted to bid 2K so not a disaster. |

I sell a lot of crafted common IOs and have had many sell for 5M, which I'm sure are spare zero issues.
I've never been on either side of one of the really big errors where something around 100M acquires an extra zero, although have seen many on the bid history.

The zero giveth, and the zero taketh away. I've posted bids for stacks of salvage and not realized my initial attempt at bidding didn't post, and suddenly I'm buying salvage instantly, but for a lot more than I intended.
On Sunday, I mistakenly posted a stack of Impervious Armor (End/Rech) to sell for 35,000,000 each.
Didn't realize it until Tuesday, but I can't believe that no one took the bait

I've made that extra zero mistake while bidding on a stack of 10 once. I managed to hit the cancel button fast enough such that i only bought 4 Pangean Soils for 18 million each...good times

Very true. Anybody who plays the market long enough is bound to see it either in their buying and their selling. In this case I saw both in the short space of maybe 10 hours; though my net gain was certainly greater than my loss.

I have added an extra zero so many times it has now become somewhat of a sport. It sure has slowed down my key strokes, espcially on not so high level items. I do on the rare occasion get an extra zero thrown my way... Thank you Extra Zero Gods!!!

And, was very grateful the entire stack wasn't instantly bought.

Gratz. I sold a doctored wounds a couple weeks back for 100 million. A week before I paid 45 for something i meant to bid 4.5, now I'm more careful.
Infinity and Victory mostly
dUmb, etc.
lolz PvP anymore, Market PvP for fun and profit
It could have been more, but it more than makes up for my overbid last night of 910,000 for a lvl 30 End Mod IO instead of 91,000. Not a bad way to start the day on my lowbie PB.
