Now bidding over 2 billion, so can't cancel. Petition?

I was bidding on some Gladiator's Armors to stash some cash, and stupidly bid the exact same amount on two. So the game stacked them. Now, it was barely over a billion each, so I'd cancel, take my lumps and move on, but the game ALSO now has a handy-dandy error message to prevent you from losing influence by going over the cap. So... nobody's ever going to sell me a Gladiator's Armor for a billion, and I can't cancel, so I'm down two billion influence and I've "permanently" lost a market slot.

Petition? Or am I missing some obvious way out of the corner I've painted myself into?

And I'll remember in the future to bid slightly less than a billion when stashing cash instead of slightly more.

Well, my first thought is to glee:mail all the inf you have on that toon to
yourself, and then reclaim your bids...

If they're not over 2B, you should get 'em back... otherwise, yeah, I think
you're in /petition land or buying a couple recipes (eventually)

PS> Reading ftw (My Bad) it looks like you're over 2B, so yeah, that's a bit of a pickle.

I think a GM should be able to straighten that out for you. Submit a /petition and hope for the best.

Strange that it doesn't work in the same way as "Get all inf".

Sending a petition would probably be the best course of action.

Note that a ticket will only stay open for 3 days, then they assume that it's fixed and it auto closes. Check on it BEFORE the three days is up, and if there's no response, update the ticket, even if it's just to say "Hey, it's still broken, still waiting for a fix."

OK, thanks.
