Ever do a bonehead move like this?

I bought a stack of Alchemical Silvers a couple weeks ago for 1,000,000 each instead of 10,000. Does that count?

I've been lucky enough not to vendor anything valuable... and notice.

But.

Last night, I Gmailed myself 30,000,000 to share between various alts. Logged in my new Warshade and brought up the email. I then deleted the gmail and clicked new to resend the rest, I'd planned on keeping around 5 million on this guy.

I forgot to hit claim...

(For individual transactions, the game stops you from exceeding the inf cap, but with "get all inf", any extra past 2 billions vanishes into the ether.)
You sure? Try throwing some bids on non-existent items and see if it drops in.

Bought two stacks of 10 Black Blood of the Earth. They only cost me 15.5 million each.




Thank you, Champion.

I coulda swore you couldn't do that. Like, the claim button is replaced with the delete button, so you can't actually delete emails that have attachments...

Good to know, I’ve stuffed up a few times in the past but never even thought about putting in a petition.

One thing that I’ve done many times is while using the market UI to sell stuff, I’ve done a search first to check the price history but then entered the sell amount in the buy field and pressed buy instead of sell. Once it was a purple enchantment, but at least it just meant I lost the commission when I had to resell it.

I have accentually sold at least one purple recipe to a vendor before, so now I trend to send any purple recipes I get to my own global name, so they sit in my email until I ready to sell or use them. Only a matter of time before I leave one in there for more than 50 days but

This is true and good advice.
I accidentally deleted an LotG 7.5% - mainly because of server lag. I was trying to sell the one above it, but it didn't sell. I clicked sell again, and that one plus the lotg went away.

The gm who assisted replaced it, took about a day or so, and asked me to be more careful.
