that is why i always wait a few seconds before i hit bid to make sure i haven't made a nasty extra 0 mistake.

My City Was Gone
Fortunately I got away with mine, put up a bid for 10x what I wanted on a gaussian's rech/end in the mid 30s, left it for 3 weeks, came to day job shuffle time, and nobody had sold one in the whole period.

And by '10x what I wanted to pay' I mean '10x the last 5 in history, and still didn't get the damn thing.' Redside sucks. :|
Used before, but my favorite facepalm....

Man! You REALLY wanted that BOTZ -KB!
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Bah! Mine is still for sale.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

Mine was blueside. I could have bid 2BN for all it mattered, my bid was far enough into 9 digits that if anybody had tried to sell one, I'm sure I'd have bought it even if I was trying to bid fairly low.

+1 for ridiculously appropriate thread title. Most claims are not as they seem. This one exceeded it.

I did that once bidding 100M each for a stack of 10 when I meant to buy for 10M each.....mercifully I managed to cancel after only buying like 7 of them so my losses were mitigated a little.
In the real world market I submitted a trade for a client once for 10000 shares and typoed the stock ticker. The stock I was buying was like $5 a share but the typo was like $4300 a share.....luckily for me the clients account wouldn't accomodate the trade or that would have been a pain in the **** to bust later on (the difference used to come out of the broker's pocket not the firms).
As F*&%$#g angry as I would or might have been you have handled yourself well with humor and class I salute you and you magnanomy in what could have been a tirade.
Grats and hats off to you good sir
That is definity why i check tho i made a 50mill buy not long ago on a 5 mill bid cos i rushed it xD
but tht much..i wish i had tht much to burn, i bet u must of been swearing like a red neck (no offence to red necks)
Thats a tough one. Back in i12 I was all excited that I got my last piece of Apoc. The triple I think. Then on my way to craft it I stopped by the Quartermaster to get rid of junk and sold it to him. I was very sad the rest of the day.

And Ill betcha that ebil Quartermaster didnt slot it, but flipped it for insane profit while gouging the casual warshade (who was blue before this but anger made him purple)...and drove up prices at the same time.|

If this was Blueside, then I need to check my heroes later. I have alot of these on the market still from the days before the nerf.
