Who's the lucky hero/villain that won the lottery?

I just want to congratulate the lucky hero who sold a common salvage item for 250 million influence late last night, you know, the time of night when you're nodding off and losing focus and trying to get the salvage for your last piece in that set of Reactive Armor to slot.

Spend it well!

Sorry for the loss of cash dude! Wow!

Great another piece of common salvage that's going to have its price sky rocket now.

I should have bought four more to really startle everyone!

The story has a happy ending, however. My hero got her full set of Reactive Armor and it's WAY more shiny and fashionable than any other hero with the same set of armor.

I'm sorry, but you don't get to join the High Roller Errors club until you've accidentally spent over 1B on something by mistake.

Last week I bought a Data Drive for 95,000,100 influence. And I'd like to say that was the first time I've done something like that....

*returns from Cayman Islands*

What'd I miss?

I'm a 5 year veteran and I have about 280 million influence total.

That would be a nice surprise

I recently needed a Magical Conspiracy for one recipe and a Military Cybernetic for another recipe. I went to the nearest Merit Vendor and rolled for random rare salvage. I got exactly what I needed on the first two rolls. A whopping 30 Reward Merits expended. Millions in influence saved.

If I'm going to gamble with my in-game resources, I'd rather play with fixed odds I know first, and then with the completely unpredictable chaos of the consignment market second. Hell, I'd rather spend a few minutes earning AE tickets and know I can get exactly what I want, than just throw my inf away, nine figures at a time.

I don't even have a character with $250 mil, so I don't have that problem.

What I gather from the OP is that the 250 million bid was a mistake brought on by fatigue, not a deliberate "want NAO" bid.

Yeah, this thread has nothing to do with being impatient. It's the very expensive typo thread.

In my own case, I can tell you exactly how it happened. I had bid 95,000 on some other item of salvage and then I wanted to bid 100 on that Data Drive. But, due to multitasking (watching TV) I actually stuck the 100 onto the end of what was already in the bid field and then hit ENTER, causing me to buy one for 95,000,100!

Oh man! Ouch! That's gotta hurt a little.

Once meant to spend 750,000/ea on a stack of 10 rare salvage... wound up typing in 75 million.

I am so careful now, but it still happens occasionally.

Thank you, Champion.

I once sold an Armageddon Triple for 500 thousand vs. 500 million .. so not worth it.
I haven't mistyped for purchasing though >.>

Coyote Seven -- it may actually have been Alchemical Silver! If you receive that budle o' cash, I want you to buy something nice for the Super Misses and Super Kids with it. I don't any want of it back, it would ruin this amazing experience where I've learned to grow and become a better person.
