I'm in your base, lowballing yer oranges.

Whew!
I did that once with something super expensive and made a tidy profit, but it's REALLY HARD ON THE NERVES.

That must be what it feels like when NASA makes a decimal error.
"(...) cost millions of dollars. No pressure. No pressure."
Had this happen in real life with not as happy a result. On a project where my firm was a subcontractor.
Three firms bidding for bridge construction project estimated at 356 million dollars. Our team gets the response in 15 minutes late and are disqualified. Firm #2 bids $329,000 and is declared the winner. Then they have to decline because they're not willing to fund the whole project.
So it goes to #3 by default.
Yay for government!

I can be found, outside of paragon city here.
Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
So one of my "big risk" items just came in. I've never gone into PVP recipes, or anything that cost nearly that much, before. I found something that was selling for, on the low end, a billion and on the high end, 1.5 billion. Put in a bid, waited all week, got the recipe for 1.01 billion. Crafted it. Listed it for 1.4 million.
With an "M", yes.
Turns out the low bid for crafted was... 1.11 billion. Covering my expenses almost exactly.
I feel like the heroine in a silent movie.
