I'm just not sure what I'm looking at here. That can't be an error, right? Please help.

I'm not sure just what wrong with the picture. Short of an insane price.

As crazy as it sounds since you can have 5 copies of any IO set bonus some people do sometimes use 5 of a set in there build. Thou most would just use different sets that have the same set bonus to get there stack of 5.

I am quite confident that nobody is using five hecatombs in any one build.

That looks suspiciously like RMT activity to me.

You never know. Could be some crazy person with more money then sense that built some 'dream build' in mids and does not understand there is a better way to do it.

After all I know a few people like that. the LOL I GOT ALL PURPLES sort of people that just look at the numbers and don't really do a lot of research into what actually works.

My disconnect:
Same price leads me to believe it came from the same person. The transaction cleared 5 times. 3x is over the inf cap. So someone had to buy, buy, get more inf (from email or the market), buy, buy, get more inf, buy. It can't be a persistent price bug thing when you have a bid up for 900,100,908 x 5. And finally, yeah. It's an insane price. x5. Just seems weird to me.

Yes but there is more then one Purple set. All Purples would be someone that has sloted as many different purple sets as passable.

But I agree with another poster in here I think this is RMT ... or just a really really odd display bug.

Oh that's possible too. Use an alt to buy them and then mail the Inf back and repeat.

edit: never mind just realized the alt would most likely buying someone else low bid post.

It's not a display bug and it's impossible that the bids were set by mistake, like Mandur12 already explained. And I don't think someone is trying to manipulate the market either, not at this price. And if whoever set these bids took a quick glance at the sales history he knew that he was bidding more than 3 times the ammount necessary. Maybe someone intended to prove or demonstrate something. It really is a bit mysterious. But I'm not here to complain about it.

What Emberly and Terror1 meant is, that it is impossible to slot more than one of these in any one character. And Mids wouldn't accept this either. You'll get an error message if you try it.

It's Fulmens, selling them back and forth to himself, as part of his dastardly inf-destroying scheme!

This is not what happened. It might work if no one else is selling and bidding, but not with the number of people bidding and selling here.

Possible I guess. But that's a lot of market fee infl lost to set a price that can't stick....

I wasn't guessing when I said this isn't what happened. I think it's not even possible with the number of bids and offers listed. I know for a fact that it didn't happen that way in this specific case.

For what possible reason would an RMTer do that ?

They wanted to give away 4 billion inf ?
They didn't realize there was email system included in I17 ?
They wanted to corner the Hecatomb market by paying many times the going rate ?

Just where is the benefit for the RMTer ?

Hypothetically, a person who had just been emailed a ton of money from an RMTer spent that money in short, sharp bursts.

I could see that as a possibility. There are just so many others
