My turn for the boneheaded purchase

Well, at least it's a good IO.
I listed a level 30 common resist damage IO for I think 501k or something, I got 5M.
I can beat that. Just the other day I hit the button one to many times and paid 28,282,282 for some rare salvage, Pangean IIRC.
Someone made out bigtime. 
Mayor: But did you buy 10?

So you think you're a hero, huh.
@Boltcutter in game.

Heh. It happens.
I think the question was, were you bidding 28M each on a single, or on a stack of 10? So did you actually spend 282M? I'm guessing not.

Someone was buying lvl 30 Karma: Knockback Protection IO enhancements last night at 70 million. So thank you to whomever purchased one of mine. 
I paid 150mil for 1 candy cane.
I also spent about 800mil in Market fees by putting up many multiples for sale at an incredibly too high price.

Heh, wasn't one of mine you bought but I did have a few stacks sell at 10 million/cane.

I did that last week on some hami goo. Meant to bid ~2,100,000 a piece on a ten stack and due to a combination of lag/sleepiness/stupidity/spazzing I bid ~21,000,000 a piece. ~210,000,000 gone in an instant. That hurt... but then I had to laugh. I sold them for ~3.5 million a piece, so I got a little bit of my inf back anyway. Getting close to my first 2 billionaire, very excited.|

Needless to say I've been checking the amount 3 or 4 times before I hit the bid button.

Nope, just the one.|

I haven't had 282m on that character in a while. Spending pretty actively on him. Not a big marketeer, so I work with smaller numbers, lol.
The worst I have ever done is is blow 280 million on a stack of ten rare somethings. Took the oppourtunity to flip slavage to recover and finish the Wents badges.
Not a market purchase, but similarly, I went to Fort Trident to spend 2 hero merits on a LOTG +7.5. I opened up the window... found Defense sets... set level to 25... found a 7.5... purchased................. Whoops, it turns out there's another Def IO with 7.5 in the name. The GotA + run speed is worth less than a percent of the LOTG. Oh well.

Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.
I spent 600M today on something that would have cost maybe 200M just by not paying attention. And I was completely sober at the time. I feel your pain.
Dumb extra zero. Bet I made someones day though.

If you are treasure hunting on a battlefield wearing an enemy uniform, there is a high probability that you will be attacked.
