I'm of two minds on this. While I admit it would be very useful and I wouldn't object to it being added, part of me wants to be a hard*** and leave things as they are because nothing teaches people to pay attention more than holding them responsible for making a stupid mistake when they were impatient and got click happy while in a rush to do something else.
Like Forbin, have the same 2 minds! lol!
Anyhow, I wonder if something like a side window could be added that you drag and drop items to sell. At the bottom is a big "Sell" button. That way if you do drag the wrong item, you can drag it back to your inventory. Not sure if this will be more complicated than what we have now.
I've had this happen to me when I was selling stuff at a vendor in Port Oakes and a zombie invasion suddenly started. In a hurry to get to safety I accidentally sold some valuable recipe.
I actually got it back because I petitioned a GM about it and they could see that there was indeed a zombie invasion going on at the time, so I was lucky that time. Having a buyback option would have saved us all some work though.
I think that everything we sell during a vendor session should end up in its own section in the vendor's part of the window. No need to complicate matters by dragging things back or forth, just let it show up as "sold during this session" or whatever. There could even be a warning when closing the vendor window that "all sales are final" and to make sure that we haven't sold anything we wanted to keep by mistake.

Teaching life lessons such as patience and staying alert is not the purpose of this game.. I would love to see something like this added since I know it has happened to people especially when the game lags.

Games that are ridiculously more hardcore than CoH have this feature.
The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.
This did come up in the not so distant past and it's still a reasonable request.
I wouldn't kick this feature out of bed... so to speak.
Dunno if this has been mentioned and i could not find it with the search function so here goes.
as the thread title states, a buy back feature from normal store vendors for those times you accidentally sell something to a vendor you didn't mean to.
i once sold a respec recipe and was pretty cheesed off at the fact that there was no buy back like some other games have/had, Tabula Rasa coming to mind.
yay or nay?
